Will stay here every time we are in Reykjavik. Super convenient to everything, parking is easy and free nearby. They have free bikes you can use and super cozy sitting areas and well stocked kitchens. I cannot express my gratitude enough about how wonderful the owners treated us. They made us feel like dear friends and took such wonderful care of us. This place is a true and rare gem.

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.

Cozy and convenient in downtown Reykjavik!

Very cozy guesthouse, centrally located and excellent hosts! The guesthouse has 2 floors of private rooms, ours had two comfortable beds and enough room for our luggage. Bathrooms and kitchens on each floor, but I really enjoyed the upper floor lounge for relaxing and feeling quite at home! Nice touch with the complementary smoothie in the morning!

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!

Wonderful stay at the Freyja Guesthouse and Suites for my family of four. Clean and comfortable family suite with a private bathroom. There is a lovely lounge with snacks and drinks to purchase. The owners were lovely and very accommodating. Location can't be bit in the center of Reykjavik and in walking distance of all main attractions and restaurants. Would highlighly 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.

Nice to share….. if you want to share…..

Nice rooms and common areas. Even shared bathroom was clean and easy to use. Although shared bathroom is probably our biggest complaint. No fans for circulating air and limited windows open for air, but trade off with blackout curtains.
