I loved everything about Freyja Guesthouse & Suites! The property is quiet, warm, and comfortable. You will easily feel right at home. It is a short walk from the central bus terminal as well as Hallgrimskirkja and surrounding shops. The family who runs the place is super friendly, trustworthy, and helpful. Next time I am in Reykjavik, I will be staying here again.

My friend and I stayed before and after a tour and both visits were very pleasant. The owner was kind, helpful and the room was delightful. I would absolutely stay again. The bus stop was just a short walk away and shops and restaurants were within a few minutes of walking. Highly recommended!!

This place is adorable - clean, quaint, the staff is kind and helpful. It is the first time we have stayed at a place with shared bathrooms and we were not sure what that would be like, we envisioned something similar to a college dorm. Not at all! Each floor has its own bathroom and kitchen, it feels very home- like. The location is excellent for walking into town. Highly recommend!

A great location in the heart of Rejkavik with a view of the iconic church and right next to the sculpture garden. The information provided were very helpful in finding the location and finding parking. The room was perfect for our family and well furnished. We didn't have time to cook and eat in but all the amenities were there. Breakfast is serviced in the cafe/art gallery nextdoor, though it's limited to a couple of preselected options.

Everything was perfect! We had a great stay, the host (Ingo) was very nice and kind, and helped me with my parking payment issue. But keep in mind that the free street parking might be limited, we were lucky to get the last parking spot at around 7:30-8:00pm. And keep in mind, the laundry is not self-service, so you may need to allow more time for the laundry company to wash and dry your clothes.

Amazing location close to the famed church in Reykjavik. We walked to the nearby cafe which was terrific offering traditional Icelandic food. The staff was super friendly and the room was able to accommodate me and my 3 children. After an overnight flight - it was great to get a good nights sleep in your hotel.

Would stay there again, with a private bathroom!

Very clean. Friendly helpful staff. Only a block from Hallgrimskirkja, the church with the huge tower. Good restaurants nearby. Easy self-parking. Nice shared kitchen. Only 2 electrical plug-ins in the whole room which was inconvenient. My wife did not like the shared bathroom, but that was my fault for booking it!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Freyja Guesthouse in Iceland. From the moment we arrived, the greeting staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and informative — they truly went above and beyond to make us feel at home and to help us get the most out of our visit. The location couldn't be better — it's within easy walking distance of many excellent restaurants, shops, and some of Reykjavik’s top sights, making it the perfect base for exploring the city. Our suite was immaculate — spotlessly clean, beautifully updated, and modern in design. It had all the comforts of home and then some. You can really tell that a lot of thought and care has gone into making the space both functional and stylish. We would not hesitate to return to Freyja Guesthouse on our next trip to Iceland, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting Reykjavik. A truly memorable and comfortable stay!
