Great place in the outskirts of Reykjavik. Walkable to Hallgrimskirkja and town. Parking available in front and good WiFi cover. We had the room on the top floor which was new and spacious though facing other apartments in the courtyard. Comfortable beds with attached bath and a fully equipped shared kitchen. Easy access in/out and quiet. Bonus supermarket just behind the building. Very well maintained and clean.

Superb 1st night stay in Reykjavik

A bit hard to find, the little hotel is tucked away on a dead-end street. Once we got into our room we were comfortable and could rest. It was raining outside and we were wet, but we dried off and took a nap in the good quality mattresses and bedding. The bathroom was roomy and clean. The price was good. Our room was on the second floor and being older, getting our luggage up the stairs presented a small inconvenience but over all our visit was a positive one. We recommend this hotel for travelers on a budget.

Comfortable

Perfect for a budget hotel. It was self check-in and so we didn't have to speak to anyone, which was pretty good for introverts like me and my other half. It's pretty basic but had everything we needed for a base of operations.

Cheap and cheerful

This place was great. I loved the self check-in and check-out. It offered a hassle free and quick arrival and departure. We didn't see many employees or other guests as we were out early in the morning and back late in the evening, but the ones we did meet were very kind and helpful. The rooms and bathrooms were super clean and warm. We never got cold at night, and while the bathrooms were tiled, the floor was heated. 

I don't have any complaints about the property, except the fact that the rooms were only cleaned after you checked out. By the end of our five day stay, our bin was overflowing.

Overall it's a great place to stay, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking to visit Iceland on a budget.

Guesthouse Pavi exceeded my expectations 

I found Pavi Guest House to be fine . I spent two nights in a private room there in October 2021.  The manager was very friendly and she helped me upload and print my Covid test certificate on my phone, which I had trouble with. The shared kitchen, bathroom and shower were clean. It was quiet, except for two knocks on my wall in the middle of the night.  The parking was limited due to blocked off parking at a construction site nearby. There was no elevator and I was on the 4th floor , so I got a little exercise. The locked outside door was secure. I felt safe there. Overall, Pavi was a good experience and a good deal for expensive Reykjavík.

Very Good!

I cannot actually visit due to Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the Icelandic Government and the communication stream with GUESTHOUSE PAVI has been non-existent and only by constantly following up through Booking.com did I manage to get any form of response which was curt and lacked any form of empathy and just smacked of greed!!!

I travel a lot and obviously have had a few trips cancelled this year but this is the only organisation who refuse to refund; do they not understand that this is a once in a lifetime situation where everybody has to help each other out?!?

All this is causing is extra grief as my Travel Insurers will now have to get more involved and as I've exhausted my best efforts in getting any worthwhile communication thread with this hotel this is posing a problem with the travel insurance as well.

I was aware that it had a bad reputation / reviews when I booked but I took a chance as there have been more than a few hotels that I've visited who's reviews didn't actually reflect reality but this is one where I would definitely steer well clear of and short term greed will result in long term failure as we, for sure, won't be returning there when we finally start to revisit Iceland / Reykjavik!!

BE VERY WARY - I WOULD GIVE 0 IF I COULD!!!

Our holiday was cancelled due to COVID-19 and this place was the only one who refused to be accommodating and issue a refund. Eventually I managed to get them to refund me partially and then they just didn't bother issuing it. Nice. Won't be booking here again.

Refund nightmare

We flew in at 6am and had to wait until 3pm regardless of the fact they confirmed an early check in. The showers smell of rotten eggs so if you like Sulfur hot pools for the smell you’ll be right at home. If not you’ll question if you stink all day (you won’t though). 
No common area.
No kitchen or fridge.
You get a kettle... but it sits on the floor in the hallway. A communal kettle.
Honestly, just find another place. It’s cheap but so are a million other places which provide more.

Lastly I must say the guy who checked us in was nice. The beds are comfy. The place is clean. But that’s the bare minimum right? Everyone should and does provide those exact things so it’s not saying much.

No early check in period.

Alright. Let's get started. The beds are comfy, toilets are clean...that's about it in terms of good things to say about this place. 
First of all, the staff over the phone were quite pathetic. We were confirmed an early check in and were yelled at when we inquired about it on the day, didnt get it, so we had to freeze outside for hours. The sheets are very worn and dirty, there are no extra facilities, no common area, no kitchen. They really supply the absolute bare minimum. I mean come on, there is a kettle on the floor with a sign confirming that its meant to be there. Just one kettle on the floor? Why? Just make a common room! Also, the showers smell really bad, but I'm not sure if theres an external reason for that in terms of water in the city itself. But I dont know. It was bad, really really bad. We were actively considering booking a different place to stay despite the fact we couldnt get a refund for our booking here. Yeah, that's how bad it is. So, my recommendation for this place is, dont do it yo. 

Pretty awful.

Emailed to confirm early check in months in advanced. Got a confirmation email that we could check in from 8-9am. After an overnight flight with no sleep we arrive at the front door cold and tired. The door instructed us to call a number which I had to activate my overseas number to do only ($5/min) to be received by a very rude man telling me an early check in wasn’t possible because the computer couldn’t input it and that the guy who would check us in wouldn’t be awake yet because he had a late shift. Well I hope he enjoyed his sleep because we surely didn’t.
