First, the property is in desperate need of upgrades. From the furniture in the common areas, to fridge which the inside door shelves were broken, the inside freezer door showed the insulation. The staff was the only good thing about the property

This is a sweet little property! Its a little more affordable than other places in Reykjavik, yet easy walk to the ocean and downtown. The room is comfortable and clean with nice amenities. The breakfast is small and simple, but quite adequate! We would definitely suggest a stay here.

We were placed in wrong room by Expedia and since full could not be accommodated correctly. Only staff on site is cleaning crew who were polite but are not able to help with room placements. So any problems or concerns you had to call someone. The room was a nice size and clean, but as it had a big cornered bay window, it did not have sufficient curtains. As sun is only down a couple hours in summer, only one side had a black out curtain and the regular curtains didn’t wrap around to cover all of the window. Had to use hair clips to keep the sun out. The window ledge was also broken/ falling apart had to be careful around.

Nothing fancy but clean and comfy, and breakfast is included in a cute little garden level dining area. Feel quite satisfied with my stay, and it was so easy to check in and walk or bus to where I needed to go.

Good guesthouse, pack light if coming by bus
Snorri’s was a very fine guesthouse. I was on the top floor, the rooms are small, but I was only 1 person. I stayed 2 different times. The 1st time, my room was at the front of the house facing the street. I found the street noise bothersome, but others might not. The room did have its own sink, which I highly enjoyed. My 2nd stay was at the back of the house, and my room was very quiet, but no sink. Although the TV is satellite, there were only 3 channels (all BBC variety). On the 2nd floor the rooms are larger. There is no elevator, so pack light. I had to carry my suitcase up 2 flights on a spiral staircase. There was no trouble with the shared bathroom. All was clean and I felt very safe. The email arriving the day before your arrival has vital information you need. There is a phone # posted on the outside door if you have trouble, assuming you have an international calling plan. I did not, and I did not receive that email, so I had some trouble. But it was quickly resolved and things proceeded very well. Breakfast is good and all I needed: bread, hard-boiled egg, Skyr, granola, cheese, cucumbers, oranges, apples, etc. The coffee is strong for my personal taste. If you are arriving via bus (i.e., FlyBus), they will drop/pick you up at the bus stop #11, which is about 3 blocks away. This is fine if you packed light with good weather; if you are older, you might consider a taxi or car. Limited parking on the street. Yes, I would stay here again.

Very cute and cozy guesthouse ideally located near the BSI terminal, downtown, and points of interest. The single room is perfect for a solo traveller. The whole place is clean and well cared for. The shared bathrooms wasn’t an issue but then again December is not peak season so maybe capacity was not full. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. The option to use laundry machines and kitchen was really great and makes guests feel at home. The owners are nice when you can get a hold of them (did not see them at all during my stay) and my concern was just that communication was mostly one sided. I had a few questions/concerns that did not get answered before my arrival despite contacting them via different methods several times. They send a PIN code and check in information at night on the day before your check in, but maybe takes a while to get it. Other than that, everything was great.

Staff was most accommodating—always responsive to guests’ needs or requests; always helpful; and always ready with a smile. My single room was comfortable; and the shared bath was always neat, tidy, and clean. Breakfasts were ample and appetizing: everything was fresh, including the coffee, and quite tasty. Location is very good: away from “tourist central” but less than ten minutes from downtown or to the Cathedral. Even though Snorrabraut is a main street, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. I would welcome another stay at Snorri’s.

Snorri’s guesthouse was perfect for our 5 days and 4 nights in Reykjavik. They accommodated an early check in for us since our flight was arriving at 6:30 am. That allowed us to rest and adjust to the 4 hour time difference. Then upon checkout, luggage can be safely stored in the lobby if your flight is later. That allowed us time to continue exploring Reykjavik. Daily breakfast was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Great stay and breakfast
My dad and I stayed at this location again because we liked it so well back in September 2022! All the amenities were there and the hosts were most welcoming. A great spread for breakfast. The twin room we stayed in was smaller than the family room (double bed and a single bed) last September.

Our room had its own bathroom and both were clean and well maintained. Nespresso machine a nice addition. Breakfast was buffet style with bright dining room. Travel guides for Iceland were available - nice addition. No lift if dragging heavy suitcases. Easy walk to downtown and easy access back to highway. Free parking always available. Outdoor area of property could be spruced up a bit.
