Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Downtown Reykjavik Baldursbra Guesthouse is often praised for its convenient location, being a short walk from the city center as well as close to Hallgrimskirkja and the bus station. Many guests found the rooms spacious, and appreciated amenities like the fridge, and in some rooms, a sink. Some have mentioned that the street parking can be unreliable. A highlight for many is the outdoor hot tub, even though a few found its condition less than ideal; additionally, complimentary snacks in the hallway are a popular perk.

central locationunavailable kitchenroom dust

the location was fine, fairly central.

The listing claimed there was a kitchen but it was not available. This really messed up my plans. i had chosen this place specifically to cook my own meals and save money but i was forced to eat out. the lack of communication about this was infuriating and cost me money. plus, the room had some dust. so annoying.
