Everything was great! In the garden house, for people who are always cold (like me), there was a heater inside, place was very clean and cozy. Owner is a great and hospitable person. Good location. If you need, you can leave there your suitcase even after checkout. Highly recommend! Will come back for sure

The property was centrally located. Just 7-8 mins from BSI Bus terminal. The rooms were well kept and cleaned daily. The landlady lives upstairs and is quite friendly & supportive. I booked the room really late at night and arrived way past midnight but my room was ready. It was a home like environment. Probably the best guesthouse in Reykjavík

We loved staying at this guesthouse. It was perfect location to the main downtown area, bus stops and cafes. The place was exactly what we needed and comfortable. There was coffee and tea for you to have when leaving in the morning and a clean kitchen area. The home was also so warm which was great to come back to after a long day trip! I would definitely stay again here!

Guesthouse Aurora was a great landing spot in Reykjavik: close to restaurants, Hallgrimskirkja, Laugavegur, and the waterfront. We were in Reykjavik only one night before taking off for the ring road, and were grateful to be able to see so many things in the city in the time we had. Aurora offered easy on-street parking, staff that were kind and helpful, and Icelandic breakfast that I appreciated for being a good solid start to the day while also being quick and not too large.

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
