Loki 101 Guesthouse

The Loki 101 Guesthouse provides a basic stay (room and shared bathroom) but it is comfortable and very conveniently located. It’s also right next to the famous Loki Cafe!

This was a fantastic guest house, very affordable and the hosts were very communicative. Everything from check-in to check-out was clearly communicated, well ahead of time, and if I had had problems, I've no doubt they would have been at the property ASAP to resolve them. Bonus points for the shades that help one get decent sleep with the neverending day in summer. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of town and easy to walk to major sights or catch a tour bus. The house is a bit older but it is charmingly so. The bathroom is also fantastic what with the rain shower and cool flooring.

A fabulous location, which helped compensate for some weaknesses. Right next to Hallgrimskirkja, a 24hr grocery store just around the corner, plus loads of shops and restaurants within t minutes walk. Weaknesses: only 1 shower for the whole building, just 1, inconveniently placed powerpoint in my bedroom, apart from a few hooks there was no hanging/storage space so you really do need to live out of your suitcase. There are no staff in the guesthouse, but whoever I did see the owners they were very helpful and they were also just a phone call away. There is a washing machine you can use (behind the white door in the kitchen. The food storage in the kitchen is very well organised, with each room having assigned fridge and cupboard space. On a whole, I enjoyed my stay zany would go back.

I found the guesthouse to be unsafe, due to the electric light switch in the bathroom does not have a cover on it, very dangerous. The room, stairs, carpets, walls were all in poor condition and very tired and in need of upgrading. My room no 4, was very small, only one hanger for my clothes, the bed was old and only had one very small pillow, and the cover was so thin, I was cold every night. The window blind didn't work properly so I had to manually roll it up and down. The only decent thing about Loki guesthouse was the location, just a 5-10 minute stroll to the centre and the B.S.I bus terminal. I would not stay here again, and would not recommend it to anyone.

The Guesthouse is conveniently located to restaurants, shops, museums and transportation. The place is clean and the other guests were friendly and easy to get along with.
