i stayed here with my brother and my friend. the room and property was quiet and we felt safe the whole time. a shared washroom was just outside our room, which was very convenient. parking is on the street and when we arrived, there were no spots left. so we had to drive around quite a bit before we found a spot! overall and excellent stay and did the job: a safe place to rest before we continued on our way.

Considering everything in Iceland costs an arm and a leg this place was affordable and overall just okay. The room was spacious but there is nobody actually here so if you need help with anything good luck, in our case one of our windows lacked a blind curtain or anything. Normally this would not be a big deal however consider that the Sun set at 12 am and rose again at 3 am… Yeah so none of us slept well at all. I emailed about this issue with no response. Was looking forward to the hot tub but it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a month and after 5 min was no warmer than some bath water (plus no bubbles). Place was overall as I said okay I’m not a picky person but when the sun is steaming in my face at 3:30 am I get a little upset. See photo taken at 4:30 am for reference as too the brightness without a blind on the window.

It was great, good location, quiet, just wish the kitchen was open during the day as it was locked and we could not cook our meals when we wanted. Otherwise - was awesome.

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.

Great affordable gem at a brilliant location

Great affordable gem at a brilliant location. It has self-check-in and I didn´t receive any instructions before arriving so it took me a few minutes to find the board with the instructions on the wall. Once I found that it was easy. It is a very homely guesthouse with everything you need. I´ll definitely use this guesthouse again.

The removal of the included breakfast from last year was a big step back for the property - it offered a certain charm that is now lacking and it's just a guesthouse now with a passable price point, having lost some of its value.
