Convenient with nice amenities

The room (family triple with private bathroom) was on the lower level and was easily accessible managing some stairs. It was large and welcoming for the two of us with outlets readily available by the bedsides for charging. The private shower fluctuated a bit on temp but nothing unreasonable. The main bed was very hard and not forgiving if you a side-sleeper. We found parking around the guest house easy to find but walked to everything versus drive.

Was here for a one night stay, this place is charming and is all self check in. Walkable in the area and we were able to park the car directly in front. Our private bathroom was very small and tight, and the water temp fluctuated, but all in all a good stay!

This is a sweet little property! Its a little more affordable than other places in Reykjavik, yet easy walk to the ocean and downtown. The room is comfortable and clean with nice amenities. The breakfast is small and simple, but quite adequate! We would definitely suggest a stay here.

No staff to meet. Check in was super simple! It is however on a major roadway. Shared bathroom facilities which I felt was a bit strange. Water did smell like sulphur. First time I smelled that in the wash but it wasn’t super strong. Average overall.

Snorri’s guesthouse was perfect for our 5 days and 4 nights in Reykjavik. They accommodated an early check in for us since our flight was arriving at 6:30 am. That allowed us to rest and adjust to the 4 hour time difference. Then upon checkout, luggage can be safely stored in the lobby if your flight is later. That allowed us time to continue exploring Reykjavik. Daily breakfast was fantastic. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was most accommodating—always responsive to guests’ needs or requests; always helpful; and always ready with a smile. My single room was comfortable; and the shared bath was always neat, tidy, and clean. Breakfasts were ample and appetizing: everything was fresh, including the coffee, and quite tasty. Location is very good: away from “tourist central” but less than ten minutes from downtown or to the Cathedral. Even though Snorrabraut is a main street, the neighborhood is quiet and safe. I would welcome another stay at Snorri’s.

We were placed in wrong room by Expedia and since full could not be accommodated correctly. Only staff on site is cleaning crew who were polite but are not able to help with room placements. So any problems or concerns you had to call someone. The room was a nice size and clean, but as it had a big cornered bay window, it did not have sufficient curtains. As sun is only down a couple hours in summer, only one side had a black out curtain and the regular curtains didn’t wrap around to cover all of the window. Had to use hair clips to keep the sun out. The window ledge was also broken/ falling apart had to be careful around.

Good guesthouse, pack light if coming by bus

Snorri’s was a very fine guesthouse. I was on the top floor, the rooms are small, but I was only 1 person. I stayed 2 different times. The 1st time, my room was at the front of the house facing the street. I found the street noise bothersome, but others might not. The room did have its own sink, which I highly enjoyed. My 2nd stay was at the back of the house, and my room was very quiet, but no sink. Although the TV is satellite, there were only 3 channels (all BBC variety). On the 2nd floor the rooms are larger. There is no elevator, so pack light. I had to carry my suitcase up 2 flights on a spiral staircase. There was no trouble with the shared bathroom. All was clean and I felt very safe. The email arriving the day before your arrival has vital information you need. There is a phone # posted on the outside door if you have trouble, assuming you have an international calling plan. I did not, and I did not receive that email, so I had some trouble. But it was quickly resolved and things proceeded very well. Breakfast is good and all I needed: bread, hard-boiled egg, Skyr, granola, cheese, cucumbers, oranges, apples, etc. The coffee is strong for my personal taste. If you are arriving via bus (i.e., FlyBus), they will drop/pick you up at the bus stop #11, which is about 3 blocks away. This is fine if you packed light with good weather; if you are older, you might consider a taxi or car. Limited parking on the street. Yes, I would stay here again.
