This was a quiet, clean, charming place to stay. Our hostess, Dagbjort, went above and beyond with the help she provided with our tours. She was a wealth of information about the area and gave us tips. We asked about bike rentals; she told us they were expensive but we wouldn't be surprised if she has obtained some of her own to supply visitors next year.
We aren't sure how far the guesthouse if from downtown because we always sauntered along looking at everything, but it can't be more than a twenty minute walk.
We shared a bathroom and the kitchen but both were sparkling clean. We didn't try the breakfast but others said it was good.
We would definitely stay here again. We were not interested in staying in the downtown area so this was perfect.

Really clean and stylish guesthouse, extremely comfortable beds. Although involving a 20-minute walk to the centre, its rate/night and peaceful surroundings make it a very good option. Although waiting to greet us until 3:30 in the morning (which was really nice!), the owners seemed uninvolved and a bit cold. That's why I didn't rate it 5 out of 5.

The owner was on hand and extremely helpful with respect to planning our day tours for us, and providing us with recommendations for excursions. The breakfast was simple and quite good. The house was also simple, but extremely clean and comfortable. The bathroom was remarkably clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I ever get back to Iceland. This was a very fun trip, especially thanks to the landlady's suggestions for horseback riding, etc. This place was a pretty spectacular find considering how inexpensive the rates are!

We loved staying here! We started and ended our vacation at this lovely guesthouse just outside of Reykjavik. It is outside of the city but very accessible to the center of town. The owner if FANTASTIC. She is helpful, sweet and welcoming. They really do treat you like family or friends. The room itself if private and comfortable. Breakfast is lovely, too...simple food- but it is set out with care and is in a sweet little separate dining room for guest. Great choice for an introduction to Reykjavik.

Hier gibt es alles was man braucht, ein sauberes Zimmer, Hit pod den man nutzen kann, eine Küche zum selber kochen und die Wohnung ist nur 15 Minuten Fußweg von der Innenstadt entfernt, außerdem fährt der Bus 12 direkt vor der Haustüre los. Die Wohnungen im Keller sind leider sehr hellhörig und wenn die Kinder der Besitzerin (die sehr freundlich ist) morgens loslegen ist man halt ohne ohrenstöpsel wach. Der Aufenthalt war super und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Ich habe vom 08.08.10 bis 17.08.10 im Palhus über eine Fruendin, die in Reyjkavik wohnt, ein Einbettzimmer gebucht. Ich habe mir diese Entscheidung nicht leicht gemacht, aber die Bilder im Internet hatten mich überzeugt. Ich kam am 09.08. früh 3 Uhr in das Quartier und hätte es eigentlich sofort wieder verlassen sollen. Die mir zugewiesene Unterkunft war nicht im Haus 58, sondern im Haus 44. Ein Raum ca. 4qm groß, ohne Schrank und ohne Heizung. Da ich am Montag und am Dienstag gleich zwei Ausfahrten gebucht hatte, gab es für mich keine Möglichkeit der Beschwerde. Am Mittwoch sah ich das erste Mal ein Mitglied des Gastgebers. Bei ihr bemängelte ich, dass ich so eine Unterkunft nicht gebucht habe. Leider stieß meine Beschwerde da auf taube Ohren. Ich habe dann gedacht, naja das schaffste schon. Geärgert habe ich mich natürlich sehr.
Das Frühstück gab es im Haus 58. Darüber kann man nicht meckern. Freitag nacht (ca. 2 Uhr früh) reisten im Haus 44 6 Personen an. Wir waren somit 7 Personen, denen ein winziges Bad zur Verfügung stand. Die angereisten Personen badeten die gesamte weitere Nacht, bis ca. 4 Uhr früh. Wie sich später herausstellte eine 6köpfige indische Familie. Ich habe daraufhin darauf bestanden ein anderes "Zimmer" zu erhalten. Leider war zu diesem Zeitpunkt nichts frei. Ich habe freiwillig die Nacht in einem Zeltwagen verbracht. Am Sonntag erhielt ich dann ein Zimmer wie ich es eigentlich gebucht hatte. Leider waren das nur noch zwei Nächte, denn am 17.08.10 bin ich früh nach Hause geflogen. Die Misere mit meinem Zimmer hat meinen Urlaub stark beeinträchtigt. Sie sollten also tunlichst darauf achten, dass man Sie auch im Haus 58 unterbringt. Vorsicht vor dem Haus 44!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ich sollte dann für diese 9 Übernachtungen 380,00 Euro bezahlen. Dies erledigte ich mit Kartenzahlung. Komischerweise buchte man von meinem Konto 416,00 Euro ab. Naja!

This was a clean, safe, comfortable guesthouse about 15 to 20 minutes walk to the city centre. Our room was huge and the shared bathroom and kitchen were always clean. Compared to the cost of some of the other hotels and guesthouses in Reykjavik, this was a steal. If I had to point out a fault, it would be that the walls are paper thin so noise could be a problem, although it wasn't for us.
