Guesthouse Andrea

Check-in for Guesthouse Andrea is around the corner at Guesthouse Aurora. Breakfast is also served at Guesthouse Aurora. Breakfast was good with freshly baked loaves of bread, jams, peanut butter, nutella, sliced meats, cheeses, cucumbers, tomatoes, cereals, oatmeal, juices, and hard-boiled eggs. Rooms are simple but clean. Shared bathroom worked fine for me; never had to wait to use it. Convenient location near the big church with its tall, steeple that can be seen from almost anywhere in town (so it's always easy to find one's way home). No complaints.

If you are on a budget or traveling with a big group, I would recommend this hostel. I stayed in a room for 6 people by myself, needless to say there was more than enough space. Every morning they provide a tasty breakfast, a perk in an expensive city. There is a small kitchenette, which I also used, with a fridge for storing food and cooking supplies. The location was really good, located near the big cathedral and the Einar Jonsson Museum - a must see if you like the set and costume designs of H.R. Giger who was clearly influenced by Jonsson's work.

Great stay great location

Great value for Iceland, complimentary breakfast was highlight of stay, waffle iron.hard boiled eggs, fresh baked bread.

The room was massive and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this accommodation. The only drawbacks were that unlike some other tourist accommodation in Iceland, you were not allowed to pack a packed lunch from the breakfast bar which, given the high cost-of-living in Iceland, is something potential guests may want to consider if visiting Iceland on a budget. That said, though, breakfast is available until 10am so you can easily have a big brunch and negate the need for a lunch. In addition, the wi-fi did drop in and out although it was fine for checking googlemaps, emails etc.
