We stayed there for 4 nights and it had been one the welcome stays. The place is close to the center, Everything running as clock. Evelyn is on top of everything, full of advise on all sort of things. Vreakfast is a buffet style and very nice. It is very important to have a good breakfast in this expensive city,... More

We booked this place on the basis of Tripadvisor recommendations and we were not dissapointed. Evelyn who runs the place was very friendly and helpful. She booked our tours, shared her recommendations on what to see and where to eat, and provided a nice breakfast. The hotel is witin easy walking distance of downtown. The room was clean and comfortable... More

I visited Iceland twice and stayed at Baldursbra both times, which illustrates my satisfaction with the guesthouse. The location is convenient and close to the city center. The rooms I stayed in were basic and clean. The host Evelyn was extremely friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this place to anyone but especially to traveler who are more budget-minded. I saved...

I chose Baldursbra based on the Lonely Planet and Tripadvisor recommendations and was very happy with my stay. I traveled to Reykjavik alone and was looking for a place that was in a good location, affordable, had personality, and offered private rooms. Located about a 7min walk from the city center and at about $50 US/night for a private, this... More

This guesthouse was comfortable and simple, shared bathrooms and aged decor, yet cozy and suited our needs. It was also the best priced option we could find in Reykjavik that was available. The room smelled a bit musty, an open window was able to solve that problem. Bed was made everyday and fresh towels were given. Breakfast was quite ample... More

My 24 year old daughter and I stayed in the 2 br apt in a cute little neighborhood a less than10 minute walk to the main shopping/restaurant area. Our fridge was stocked (and restocked) and the space was perfect for the two of us (really sleeps 4). Evelyne(the owner/manager) is such a sweetheart and basically will make any reservation for...

Centrally located and clean. The owner Evelyn is VERY helpful, she arranged a cheap rental car and prepared a 4AM breakfast on the day we departed. Non-smoking!

We stayed here as our first stop in Iceland earlier this month. The guesthouse is actually two bldgs in separate locations, but both are quite charming and within walking distance of many wonderful restaurants and museums. Both locations are in residential neighborhoods, and the rooms are very quiet. Breakfast was quite good - fresh meats and cheeses, cereal and skyr,... More

We stayed for four nights at their other location on the other side of the lake from the original house. At first I was a little confused by the switch, but our room was great. Convenient location, lovely neighborhood and very comfortable stay. I had thought we would have a sink in our room, but sharing the bathrooms worked out... More
