Well, you have to know that Reykjavik is a very expensive place. Food, wine, and rooms. So, while this is a great value for Iceland, in comparison with other places we have stayed around Europe, it is really a lot of money for a basic room. However, the room was large enough, with a view out on the street. We... More

We enjoyed ourselves very much at this guesthouse. The room was clean and nice, and although the on suite bathroom was tiny we were comfortable. The location is perfect close to the city centre. 15 min walk to local swimmingpool!

First off all in general people in Iceland are filled with warmth and hospitality. Guesthouse Butterfly is a short 5 minute walk to the center with restaurants, banks, tourist information. The owner Jon is a very friendly man, and gave us many tips and information about Iceland. We had a very nice and comfortable stay at the guesthouse Butterfly and... More

We stayed here for four nights at the beginning of June and it suited our needs perfectly. Close to the harbour, restaurants and bars they provide a great self service breakfast and tea and coffee always available. The welcome was warm and friendly and they gave us advice on where to eat and some good trips to take. We had... More

Butterfly Guesthouse is clean, cosy, friendly and easy to find and get to on a quiet street close to the center of town. We stayed six nights and it really felt like coming home at the end of each day. Our "landlord" Jon was near at hand both morning, noon and evening and gave us useful suggestions for outings and...

We chose this guesthouse based upon it's excellent reviews on tripadvisor, and we were very pleased. Our room was simple, small (typical European) quiet, and very clean. En suite bathroom is TINY, but very efficient. Other shared bathrooms larger and clean. It was a luxury to have access to a kitchen to make tea, store food, or prepare simple meals.... More

My wife and I stayed at the Butterfly Guesthouse at the beginning and ending of our trip to Iceland. It is a charming place located perfectly for seeing the city. We could walk up the street and be in the central square but were not so close as to be bothered by late nigh noise. Shuttles for the Blue Lagoon,... More

It was a really great time on Iceland and to start up our trip in the Butterfly Guesthouse was the best decision we could have. Lovely people, nice rooms and showers and a really cute shared kitchen. A piece of home at the end of the world. Jon and Thuridur, thank you very much. We´ll come back soon. Thomas and... More

We had a great stay in Butterfly Guesthouse after we had had an accident in the Icelandic hills. The room was nice, with a bathroom down the corridor. There was a good ktchen, which was great because we could not venture out too much. But the best part of the guesthouse was the presence of Jon and his family during... More
