Not very good, no so clean

Conviniently located, all major attractions within walkable distance. Owner was very accommodating as well! Thank you

The property is 3 stories high and huge. Each floor has toilet & bathroom. Very convenient for the renters. Everywhere is tidy and clean. Close to BSI, downtown. The owner is very responsive. Loved the place I stayed. Would recommend to anyone.

No longer breakfast...only self-serve. But lovely, simple place to stay....but.....bring earplugs. Both nights a neighbor drummed from 6pm until 11pm.

I've stayed at Baldursbrá in the past, having visited Iceland 17 times now. It's a great solution if you just need a place to stay, perhaps in transit to the airport or as a base for exploring. It's a self-check-in guesthouse, so that's convenient, but of course, it lacks character and charm as a result. Great for sleeping, and perhaps you might try the hot tub in the garden too.

Older reviews talk about a host family, which appears to have changed now. During my stay it was an unstaffed property. That's common in Reykjavik, but it created a few problems. Upon arrival you walk in the unlocked door and check for your name on a whiteboard. My name wasn't there, so I phoned the property number. They were efficient and offered me a better room by way of apology. I then had a phone call from the property at midnight, which woke me up. I missed it so phoned back, apparently it was a mistake. Next day I got an email, which was checkin instructions for another resident. I just ignored it. The next day I had another call, double checking which room I was in. So all in all, organisation was pretty poor, although the people I spoke to were pleasant. Otherwise this is excellently located, central and in a nice area, with free parking (rare). My room was in the Garden House, which is a two floor structure on the building's side. Unlike the main building it is wooden framed with corrugated metal, which means it creeks terribly when people walk around. That meant I didn't get great sleep. The room however was nicely furnished and very clean. Overall, the property was good value, but there is a need for things to become a bit better organised.

A very uncomfortable experience. Firstly a triple room was booked and paid for but I was allocated a double room. Things looked clean at first but under beds it was very dusty and there was other guests trash. The room in the Garden House shared a bathroom with four other rooms. The bathroom was a disaster, the shower flooded before I could use it and the large and heavy sink was dangerously unstable on its legs. The bathroom was unusable and the guesthouse management unreachable. I had to use a bathroom in the main house that was unclean. With such high number of people sharing bathrooms, a single daily cleaning is simply not enough. I requested a partial refund to compensate for this experience and ********** reached out to the guesthouse management on my behalf - management refused to provide any compensation. Very disappointing since this place is so well reviewed - a gesture of acknowledgment of this negative experience would have changed everything - I understand things can go wrong but the way things were handled was not great.
