We rented the 2 bedroom appartment at Brattagata. The property was spacious. clean and comforable, centrally placed in downtown Reykjavic near to the Art Museum and Harbour. The dining area and Bathroom were well appointed.

Comfortable, Clean and Centrally located

The location is very good for walking around in Reykjavik, close to many restaurants and shops. We stayed in 2 adjoining apartments and the apartments were not too clean. There were some trash left in one of the closets. One of the reasons why we booked this guesthouse was because it offered free parking but the new owners did not honor the previous owner's policies. The host did not return my email regarding this matter so we had to pay for parking for four days. One of the showers almost overflowed as the drain did not work properly. The host did send someone to take care of the problem without letting us know so we were surprised when the plumber showed up. We would not stay here again.

Expensive but Good Location

Just checked out today after a 2 night stay. We stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment as we were traveling with 3 kids. The host let us drop off our luggage early while the apartment was being cleaned. (Check in 3pm and we arrived in the morning). The apartment was clean and within working distance to multiple restaurants, stores and tourist attractions. We did not need to rent a car. There is free WiFi in the apartment and games for kids to play. There is a TV but we did not actually watch TV. The host emailed before and after we arrived to provide instructions and to check in to see how we were doing. He also let us store our luggage for a few hours before it was time to head to the airport. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Location. Gracious Host

I stayed in apt 200 - this charming apt is in a converted garage. I stayed a week and it was a perfect base to explore the city and the region. It's a nice space. The location is fantastic - close to everything yet quiet! Also, the owners have a number of outstanding restaurants in Reykjavik and will help you get reservations with a discount!

Pros: 
-Location, 
-Space, 
-Price,
-Comfort of the double bed & linens, 
-Having a galley kitchen/fridge, 
-Discounts at the owner's family's excellent restaurants!

Cons: 
-Mold in shower stall & curtain - because the shower stall is so narrow, it's hard to avoid the mold on the lower part of the shower curtain &  at the base of the stall. (I think they will deal with this - it's a new enterprise)
-Towel situation ( only 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel were provided for 1 person for a 1 week stay, but in my experience, usually there are 2/person, esp when the stay is long); however, a change/room clean was available for a price.
-No laundry facilities or options for apt 200 (apparently other apts at Brattagata have it)...but Reykjavik is a really tough place to do laundry!  I ended up hand washing things and putting them on the radiators.
- Lack of black out curtains - I had an eye mask, but if you didn't, and you were visiting in May, or during the summer months with the long days...it might be a problem. 

When I first arrived, the wifi (I needed this for my work) wasn't working and it took a day to resolve. They were responsive. Also, I asked for more light, and again, quite responsive! 

This is a great place to stay. I liked not having daily maid service (but would have appreciated it in the middle of week-long stay, or at least 2 towels per persodn). The location was perfect and the space was very comfortable! Recommend!!!

Perfect base for longer stay in Reykjavik!

This guesthouse has several differing apartments - we stayed in one of the family rooms which are in a separate building.  Location is brilliant for exploring Reykjavik with the main street, bars and shops (including a small supermarket) literally yards from the front door - although the location on a side street makes it a very peaceful place to stay.  Large secure parking garage nearby.  The room was clean and main bed very comfortable (read on for info on the sofa bed..!!).  The kitchenette and bathroom are just outside the door into the studio making it appear as if it is a shared facility - though we didn't see anyone else using them.  Good TV with loads of English channels and good wifi.

However - note, this is an unmanned apartment building - no reception and owners not on site.  We had difficulty accessing the key to our room - convoluted key collection as you need to access a different part of the building and the door lock to this area does not work - even worse the owner did not answer when we tried phoning (on both the booking number and so called 'emergency' number) - eventually received a text saying they were off swimming...!!! We were left stuck out in the cold with luggage and small child until a kindly resident responded to our knocking and let us in to retrieve the key - we were advised by other resident and a repair man next day that this lock 'is always going wrong'..... also the sofa bed is one of those fold out monstrosities with mattress the thickness of tissue paper - so you feel every spring and the support strut - no chance of sleeping on this bed unless your fully drunk

Excellent location - nice family room - some issues with customer service

This guesthouse has a very good location but simple and you do not get anything more than you pay for. It is a little bit too expensive and you mostly pay for the location. It is not too clean and they do no throw away the trash. The one window is always open, but the heater is working very good. On the bathroom there is something that dry our clothes and that was very good. When we arrived there was no toilet paper, but we called and they came with it right away. 3/5 for this place!

Nice guesthouse!

My family spent three nights in Reykjavik and found Brattagata to be a nice place to stay.  The location is fantastic - very close to restaurants, shops, and parks.  Our room was was very comfortable and we even had a bathroom and small kitchen outside our bedroom entrance (I think we were room 100) that no one else was using.  We never met the property owner but fresh towels did show up in our bathroom one of the days.

There were a couple negatives that prevented this place from being 5 stars: 

First off, not allowing guests to park on site is a bit of a pain.  Street parking is free from 6pm - 9am but if you plan on staying in the city during the day you will probably have to pay to park in a garage or at a meter.  Parking fees were cheap but it was a mild annoyance to have to run out every morning before 9 to make sure the meter was fed.

The walls must be very thin because we could hear the people in the neighboring room constantly.  Their TV, their conversations, their footsteps, everything.  I don't think they were being overly loud, I just think it's how the building handles sound.  Made it hard to get my 6 year old to sleep at night.

Lastly, we had a very steady dripping coming from our ceiling right next to our bed whenever it rained (2 out of the 3 days).  It was heavy enough that I called the emergency number to report it to the property owner.  She thanked me for informing her and said some one would come out to look at it.  The dripping never stopped so I'm guessing no one came out or if they did they couldn't fix it. I laid down towels under the drip and made due.

Good Stay

Central location, warm and cosy, easy check-in, perfect from start to finish, we loved this beautiful guesthouse! The location was so convienient for a short trip & the property was very clean and tidy!

Perfect!

We stayed our first night in Iceland at this guesthouse. We arrived very early in the morning, around 8 am. The owner, Ingrin was extremely accommodating to us and actually gave us a room immediately since it was ready so we didn't have to wait till check in. She even fed us which we were very thankful for. 
The location could not have been any better. Central to all the sites all within walking distance. The room was very comfortable and we had no issues with the shared bathroom with another couple. 
We would highly recommend this guesthouse to anyone.
