The kitchen facilities were great. The staff was welcoming and helpful and it was nice to stay in the studio room but lots of stairs going up. Property was well maintained and a nice breakfast to start the day.

Disliked: Amenities
This guesthouse was suitable for one night in the city. While the guesthouse was clean, the bedroom was incredibly hot in early September and even with the window open it didn't cool down. I tried to contact the staff via phone calls and messages but no one was able to answer. Also, the bathrooms were really dated and didn't feel super clean.

The listing on Expedia clearly says there is free parking at the property, but really there isn’t. There is -maybe- some free parking at some road a few blocks away, or maybe some free parking at a church nearby - good luck finding those. The room was cramped, tap water had sewage smell. Breakfast was nice though.

Great location, street parking

The Guesthouse is right in the center, close to a lot of sight s. Walking to great Restaurants and shopping. Self checkout and in was great, room was clean, breakfast good. The only downside is that there was no dedicated parking space, there is free street parking, but we had to park two blocks away, because there were no spaces in front of the Guesthouse.

Room was clean, bathrooms fairly new. Continental breakfast included. Accommodation fairly basic, but in central location close to shops, restaurants and Hallgrimskirkja. Fine for one night in an expensive city like Reykjavik.

Guesthouse Aurora was the perfect property to stay at for a night out in Reykjavik. Extremely walkable location, we found parking right outside (though something to note is that it is paid parking right outside on weekdays). Decent breakfast, didn’t mind the shared bathroom and there was a sink in the room. Comfortable beds. So convenient, you don’t need much in a room when staying in the city especially given how central it is, everything in Reykjavik is a few min walk or few min drive. I would stay again!

Rooms were clean and neat. Breakfast was a good spread. We arrived early morning and it was a bit awkward/confusing to pick up the keys and towels in one building and then walk over to our room which was in another building around the corner.

It is a cool place. Style of the rooms are kinda simplistic ,near church, everything is close. The room was cozy and warm. Only thing that bothered me was that sheets were not clean.
