Refurinn Reykjavik Guesthouse

Booked two double rooms to welcome in the New Year in Reykjavik. Rooms were compact but very cosy, and the beds were comfortable. The shared kitchen was well appointed and very clean. The guesthouse was full the whole time we were there, but the rooms were well insulated, and you could barely hear the other guests. We usually avoid accommodation with shared bathrooms, but it was not a problem here. There are two shower rooms on the ground floor and one upstairs, so I never had to wait for a shower in the morning. The upstairs bathroom also had a washing machine and dryer, which was very handy after two weeks of travelling. The location is excellent. It is around 500 metres to the CBD, and it is easy to explore Reykjavik on foot from the guesthouse. Would definitely stay again and would have no hesitation in recommending Refurinn Guesthouse to families, couples or solo travellers.

Perfect for a quick stop This is perfect for one night or a couple nights. Was clean, had everything we needed. Didn’t see any staff but we had excellent instructions so was no problem. The room itself is quite small but was perfect for one night. Would absolutely stay here again

Really lovely! I was traveling with my father, and the folks running the guesthouse brought him extra pillows, because he needs to sleep mostly upright. Then, when there was a cancellation, they offered us the extra room so that he and I could each be more comfortable. We're so grateful for the kindness and hospitality. The rooms are clean, bright, and warm. We used the shared kitchen every morning. Shared bathrooms were never an issue - there are three on the main floor. Rooms also have a small sink, and there are coffee and tea makings in the rooms as well. A quick 5 minute walk to the harbor, a 20-30 minute walk to the downtown area near the big church, and a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest pool with thermal baths. I'd love to go back, and I'd definitely recommend it!
