Guesthouse Sunna, hotel in Reykjavík

Situated in Reykjavik’s old city centre, this family-run property is across the street from Hallgrim’s Church. It offers a communal kitchen, as well as modern and fresh rooms with wooden furnishings.

Although design and finishes were abit dated, it had everything required for a comfortable stay! A well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds! Having a secondary entrance that led to the carpark was really convenient for luggage moving.

A recently renovated property, NN Urban Guesthouse is located in Reykjavík near Solfar Sun Voyager, Hallgrímskirkja Church and The Pearl.

An easy walk into the city centre and good facilities in the shared kitchen. Room was cosy and warm - it's at street level but we didn't experience an issue with noise, as it's a quite quiet area. Loved being so close to a very good coffee shop too!

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
