This is a nice little guesthouse right in the heart of town. You honestly can’t beat the price or the location as it’s very near everything you want to walk to, including excellent restaurants. We also loved visiting the sculpture museum nearby. The guys that manage this place are very friendly and leant us some electronic adapters for our stay which we really appreciated. We had two rooms and they were clean and comfortable. The breakfast is pretty basic but appreciated. The only downside is that the water smells like sulfur but I suspect that a lot of homes have this issue in Iceland. We stayed for a few days in a luxury hotel that didn’t have this issue but we also paid a lot more and it wasn’t as close.

Great guesthouse in Reykjavik

Great location near the church. The host was warm and inviting, and the place had a lot of charm.

This guest house was a wonderful place. We spent 2 nights. The location is excellent, walking distance to downtown and many different attractions. It’s an older house with much artwork. The bathroom needs some TLC, but everything worked. The room was spacious. Breakfast is just cereal, toast and coffee, but you have access to a full kitchen. They did not offer any bar soap or a wash cloth. You are asked to take your shoes off once you enter the house, but they did have some house shoes that you could use.

Eric the Red Review

We really loved our stay at Eric the Red Guesthouse. If we were ever in Reykjavik again, we wouldn’t hesitate to book this place, we loved it

-PERFECT LOCATION: walking distance from the main bus terminals, town, restaurants, and Hallgrímskirkja church
-COMFORTABLE ROOMS: warm and comfy private rooms with a wash basin in. There were plenty of radiators to dry off our clothes after a day in the rain and snow.
-EXCELLENT WIFI
-GREAT KITCHEN FACILITIES: Iceland can be quite expensive in terms of food so it was really great having a kitchen stocked up with essentials to make breakfast and meals
-SUPER FRIENDLY HOSTS
-SUPER CLEAN BATHROOMS
-GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

And as a bonus the owner has a very cute dog!

Absolutely loved our stay here!

Great communication with the owner, comfortable and clean room, stylish decor of the house, quiet little garden with table and chairs under a roof. Free use of the kitchen and supplies for breakfast. Excellent location near the main church and shopping streets. Recommended!

Great choice in the centre

the place itself is fine, clean etc. the real selling points are the convenient location - extremely close to Hallgrimska and easy to get to from the freeway. the two hosts were super friendly and even went food shopping to have items to share with the guests. I didn't want to take advantage of that so only used a few of their things but they seemed genuinely giving and kind. the price was good too, especially considering the amazing location.

super location and hosts

We had a great stay here. Comfortable beds, clean with good facilities. Great hosts and a great vibe with a relaxed atmosphere. Very central position in a quieter part of town and easy walking distance for sightseeing.  I would definitely stay here again. 

A great place to stay.

Great place to stay with alot of very friendly people that Will help you out if there is anything. 5min walk to central Reykjavik. George and all of the other people really make you feel at home.

We spent a week at Eric the Red Guesthouse.  The staff was so warm and welcoming, we couldn't have been more pleased.  Our room was warm and comfortable, and they checked with us regularly on the need for clean towels or garbage removal.  Although the entire staff was great, we saw Marek most often, and were especially grateful to him for his help.

Lovely guesthouse with the best staff!

Super kind owner.  The breakfast room was a bit small when everybody got together.  Close to the bus station from the international airport.
