Reykjavik Peace Center Guesthouse

I arrived at the hostel very tired and with a bad headache. I was able to sleep very peacefully and restfully in my single room. The most important thing when choosing a place was to be near the Mjódd bus stop, from where my bus was leaving the next day for the south. The Reykjavík Peace Hostel is one of the cheaper hostels, with the difference that you can really relax here after a long day! For me, a huge plus point is the simple check-in, no lengthy process to go through on arrival. I will gladly choose it again!

We arrived very late in the night, but everything worked properly- the access code, the room was prepared, the bathroom well equipped. The beds were really comfy. We did not use kitchen, but it seemed well equipped as well. Very quiet place.

Beautiful place, we stayed in a small room but comfy. In the guest room there are some Chernobyl posters that are a bit disturbing at first. But still the kitchen has all the facilities we needed and the coffee maker is WOW!!! Reccomended. Only downside until midnight we could hear someone scrolling on TikTok and it was a bit annoying.

Far from food places, shops, activities in Reykjavik. We had to remind them to send us the check-in information several times, otherwise we could not enter. Room was substandard: cellar room with cartons ducktaped to the hallway window for 'privacy'. Poorly finished, this room was clearly a basement before, not entirely renovated to rooms. With *********** there is no way to know which room you will be 'assigned'. Showers are dirty, some have moisture issues. Refund policy is unfriendly: we tried to cancel months in advance and no refund possible whatsoever. The owner seems to be using this place as an investment to get some money of unheeding tourists and dump old and broken furniture. All over the hallways: broken stuff, repair tools. In the middle of the night the housekeeper was rummaging through cupboards in the hallway, waking us up several times.

Nice and warm. Lots of space to sit around. It was very relaxing for me and don't forget to bring a frisbee. There is an urban forest and birds chirping even in winter. Less than 2 km to a little shopping centre. Wish I could have stayed longer, many thanks!
