Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Location is a fair distance from central Reykjavik — The guesthouse is about a 25-minute walk from Lagafellslaug in Mosfellsbaer and not central, so you'll likely need transport.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — At least one guest mentions shared bathrooms, so not all rooms have private facilities.
- Modest rating relative to the area average — With a rating of 8.0 against an area average of 8.4, the guesthouse ranks 123rd out of 165 properties in Reykjavik.
