The 1912 guesthouse was exactly what me and my group of buddies were looking for. The rooms are extremely clean, not a spot on anything and it served perfectly as a place to sleep for the night. With bars and restaurants all around it its right in the middle of everything you would want to be doing in the evenings... More

Although this is a B&B without breakfast, the availability of nearby shops and the excellent kitchen facilities more than make up for the missing second "B". The facilities are excellent, the place is "spotless", and the location in the Old Town, kitty-corner from the Old DomKirke, is perfect. ( I would advise some sort of indoor footwear [or go barefoot]--... More

I stayed here three nights in February (including a weekend) and was quite happy with my room, the cleanliness, and the location close to everything, including local buses (and Gray Line tours). Gray Line drops you off and picks you up from the airport, directly at the door. The kitchen has only a microwave, but I was prepared for that.... More

The 1912 guesthouse was one of the best places I've stayed. It is immaculately clean, central and comfortable. Richard, who runs 1912 guesthouse, was very helpful and friendly. Great value, did not disappoint.

Friendly and pleasant place to be, right in the center of Reykjavík. The prices are ok, the rooms are very clean and spacious. Richard can arrange special prices at restaurants and bars in the city. What else do you want more? Staying there for the third time and surely will come back..

We only saw Richard once when we checked in (and called the number provided to ask him what room we were in and how to get in to it.) We very much appreciated that he allowed us to check in early as we arrived at 9:00 am after our all night flight. It was heaven to sink in to a... More

A very guest house, this place was just perfect for me 1 day staying in Reykjavik. Very clean and the owner seemed to be very helpfull. If booking on line, check your email before get there. The location is a plus and price not too bad if compared to the hotels nearby.

The location of the house is superb very near downtown. Walking distance to everything. Richard was extremely helpful with everything I asked via email and he was even there to meet as he was doing some cleaning of the house when i arrived. My single room was large for a Euro Hotel although the lighting was pretty dim. The bed... More
