I stayed here for a week at the end of December 2012. Gunnar was a gracious and helpful host; he really made my stay one of the best I have had in holiday accommodation. The room was spotlessly clean and the perfect size for one or two people. The location of the accommodation also could not be better - just... More

Just returned from a 5 day stay at House of the Spirits. As others have said, location is fantastic! Tourist Information is around the corner; Icelandic Fish & Chips 2 blocks away; easy access to buses. We had a studio (green walls) which was large and generous for the price. The twin beds that had been promised were not there... More

We stayed at The House of Spirits from the 2nd December for 4 nights, location of the house was excellent 5 minutes walk to main bars/ restaurants. The room was really nice and warm with a kitchen area with Free wifi. We didnt get to meet the owner but we were in touch with Flroent his assistant and Gunnar was... More

My friend and I just returned to NYC from Reykjavik. We stayed at the House of the spirits for 7 days and we loved it. The location of this guesthouse could not be better, it is a rather quiet street as some people have mentioned but it's very close to all the touristy attractions and only a short walk to... More

First I'll just say that I think we would have had a better experience if there had not been so much renovating going on while we were there in August. There was a lot of noise coming from outside and upstairs of construction work. We also had a difficult time tracking down Gunnar, but I think he was busy with... More

I want to start by saying that the location and price were amazing. As others have said, it is located in the heart of a great section of town. It was so easy walking everywhere! It was also nice that it was off the main street which helped keep out street noise. Unfortunately, the street noise wasn't really the issue...it... More

My wife and I stayed in the Blue house at 1 Ranargata. On the first leg of our trip, we had a 2nd floor room, and on the last leg of our trip, we stayed in the 3rd floor room. Both were nicely furnished, clean, and offered big windows that looked out to the back and neighboring gardens. It amazed... More

We booked a room here for 8 days based on the overwhelmingly excellent reviews but were disappointed. I will admit that perhaps we didn't understand the concept of a "guest house" in Europe. We expected more of a charming B&B type place and it definitely was not that. We are accustomed to staying in quaint B&Bs, small hotels, etc. and... More

Travelled to Iceland for a 10 day honeymoon. Gunnar at House of Spirits was excellent. Location was just outside downtown, so a very short walk to all the nice little resturants and shopping. Supermarkets just a little farther. Whale Watching locations a 3 block walk. Gunnar gave great advice and was very helpful in providing guidance. The rooms were very... More
