Old trees around the property and in the backyard were wonderful. Watch snow falling on the trees, then melting by morning was great.

Very cute and cozy guesthouse ideally located near the BSI terminal, downtown, and points of interest. The single room is perfect for a solo traveller. The whole place is clean and well cared for. The shared bathrooms wasn’t an issue but then again December is not peak season so maybe capacity was not full. Breakfast was delicious and satisfying. The option to use laundry machines and kitchen was really great and makes guests feel at home. The owners are nice when you can get a hold of them (did not see them at all during my stay) and my concern was just that communication was mostly one sided. I had a few questions/concerns that did not get answered before my arrival despite contacting them via different methods several times. They send a PIN code and check in information at night on the day before your check in, but maybe takes a while to get it. Other than that, everything was great.

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.

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.

Great stay and breakfast
My dad and I stayed at this location again because we liked it so well back in September 2022! All the amenities were there and the hosts were most welcoming. A great spread for breakfast. The twin room we stayed in was smaller than the family room (double bed and a single bed) last September.

Our room had its own bathroom and both were clean and well maintained. Nespresso machine a nice addition. Breakfast was buffet style with bright dining room. Travel guides for Iceland were available - nice addition. No lift if dragging heavy suitcases. Easy walk to downtown and easy access back to highway. Free parking always available. Outdoor area of property could be spruced up a bit.

Great location about 5 mins walk from the main shopping street in downtown Reykjavik. Good breakfast. Room was modern and furnished well. Armann and Sarri were friendly hosts, hospitable, and easy to reach. Minor annoyance (that is not the fault of the property) is that the bathroom window faces an intersection with a crosswalk, and the metronome-like sound gets repetitive. This was solved by closing the window.

The home owner is super friendly and contacted me regarding my stay in very detailed manner before my stay was due. The room I was staying in was fantastic, large walking space, Tv, clean room and had a real good linen aroma to the room. Which also tells you that everything in that rooom is cleaned and washed. Fast Wi-FI, lots of breakfast options (beter then some of the more expensive hotel I stayed in near the KEF airport). Also if you need help with anything regarding the stay, the owner responses really quicky, overall for the price you're paying, this place is five stars and really underated. To get the single room at this price is crime, as its so cheap. :D

The property is an excellent location when visiting Reykjavik. Also wish to compliment them for a great breakfast each day. We were a little disappointed with the level of interaction from the host. We had hoped to discuss things to do in the city but the hosts were never available. We had the impression from the website that they are normally on site but we’re not while we were there.

The breakfast was spectacular. The owners were very kind and welcoming. The public spaces are very nice, like the breakfast area and living room. My only complaint was the bed was as hard as a rock, I couldn’t sleep at all so I went out searching for aurora instead. The bedroom was extremely tiny and we had one bed instead of two twins, keep that in mind if you didn’t plan staying in the same bed as your travel mate. Seemed to attract multi-national travelers which was a really nice experience, morning vibes were more of a hostel experience with nice music and world travelers. Definitely recommend!

Solo female traveler review: Absolutely loved my stay here. Ample breakfast, a hearty cold continental. Fresh baked breads, croissants, small pastries. Icelandic butter. Sliced ham, cheese. Skyr, granola, dried fruits. Fruits, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes. Coffee, tea, juices. Good for vegetarians. Standard Icelandic breakfast fare. Early breakfast options in Reykjavik are slim, so booking a place that does early breakfast is essential for me. Extremely walkable area in 105, less than 10 minutes up to Hallgrimskirkja and less to Sundhollin, a great local pool. Highly recommend stopping at this pool and checking out the very hot roof top tubs. Hlemmur Matholl (a food hall with multiple vendors) is also not far. Buses run through Snorrisbraut and there were also many electric scooters available to grab. Room was clean and warm. Kettle, coffee maker with pods, small fridge, hair dryer and diffuser. Icelandic plugs available to borrow. On the smaller side but this is just how rooms are throughout Iceland. Shared bathroom was spotless. Didn't use the shower as I showered at the pools each day. Bed comfortable, sufficiently thick duvet and multiple pillows. Robes, towels, washcloth, and hand towel provided. Tip: Bring the towel if you go to the pool. Obviously, bring it back. Pools charge a few dollars for a rental. This is a great area to stay, I am a regular visitor to Iceland so this is my perspective from my experience and previous knowledge of Reykjavik.

I really was pleasantly surprised with my experience at Snorri's. First off- the owner's communication & friendliness at morning breakfast was superb. The proximity to bus stop # 9 is good- even w/ wheelie luggage, not problem, for someone w/ a lot of luggage or mobility issues, maybe not feasible, but a ten min walk to main shopping street, 20 min. walk to Perlan. I was on 3rd floor, room was small but extremely clean and comfortable. A tall person (>6'2") might be slightly inconvenienced but nice amenities. The bed, mattress, sheets and pillows allowed a great night's sleep. I walked the neighborhood at night- very safe. I'd be back

The owners are very accommodating. We arrived early and they were able to allow us to check-in as our room was ready. A lot of parking is available if you drive. The location is excellent as you are convenient to the downtown and an easy walk from Perlan. We did not need to use our car once we arrived. The breakfast is great. Wonderful breads and pastries. Will definitely stay here when we come back for a visit to Reykjavik. Thanks for the hospitality!

We enjoyed our 1 night stay here. We booked it for our last night in Iceland. The room was spacious and lovely and the breakfast was wonderful. The location isn’t close to much or at least walking distance to downtown, but we had a car. Parking was really easy on the streets around the property.

We absolutely loved Snorri’s! Our room was gorgeous and had a lovely view of the city (sadly it was WAY too cold to use the beautiful balcony)! We also never got to meet Magnús due to covid circumstances in his family.. therefore everything was self service- nonetheless good food and fresh towels were still provided in the kitchen for us to help ourselves to! Also Magnús was only ever a phone call or email away to advise us on anything - super helpful! The location is also perfect, just a 5 min walk to downtown Reykjavik! We wish we could have stayed longer and met Magnús in person but more reason to come back!
