I will keep this short and sweet. The location is perfect (we saw the northern lights above our room). It's in city center, everything is a short stroll away (tourist info, coffee shops, pubs, churches, everything!) Gunnar is amazing! he is helpful and kind and informative, and just wonderful to have around! he helps with tours and travel and everything... More

Excellent apartments in the heart of Reykjavik but still in a quite area, great for couples or groups that want a "self-catering" place. The owner is extremely helpful and friendly. More

Our apartment was on the top floor with nice views across the city. The location is perfect: quiet street but literally less than a 2 minute walk to the old city center. Many restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. Apartment worked out very well and was always warm and cozy when we returned because of the use of geothermal heat... More

Excellent little place in the heart of Reykjavik! Walking disctance to everything, perfectly clean, spacious studio for an incredible price. You will not find a better deal. Will definitely stay here again. Host Gunnar is super cool and very helpful. More

We stayed at HoS for 8 nights and it immediately felt like home. We were in a studio apartment on the third floor of the building, and the fact that Icelanders actually lived there made us feel like little residents ourselves. Gunnar was a wonderful host- the night we arrived he gave us muesli, milk, tea, coffee, juice etc. for... More

If... More

Okay, so there’s a reason the House of Spirits is the #2 Guesthouse in Reykjavik --- it’s awesome!!! We were booked at the HoS after an unfortunate mishap on booking.com at the 1912 Guesthouse. 1912 Guesthouse was overbooked, didn’t tell us then we were left scrambling for another option. Luckily the owner of the 1912 found us the HoS and... More

We stayed at the House of Spirits during the last week of August. The main purpose of our trip was to see Iceland and get married. First things first, the studio we stayed at was clean, comfortable, and convenient. We're not very particular about the decor (IKEA) since we're hardly ever in the room, but the bed was important, and... More

I stayed at the House of the Spirits for six nights last week and absolutely loved it. My flight landed very early in the morning and my studio wasn’t yet ready when I arrived, so Gunnar – who was warm and welcoming and an excellent host – set me up in a “waiting room” type space with beds, a kitchen...
