Eric The Red Guesthouse Reykjavik

As we sat on the furnished terrace, sipping our coffee and breathing in the crisp Icelandic air, we couldn't help but marvel at the stunning view of the Hallgrímskirkja Church just 100 metres away. It felt like we had a private, up-close view of this iconic landmark, and it made our stay truly memorable.

The location of the guesthouse was perfect, being very close to the center of Reykjavik and within walking distance of the famous Hallgrimskirkja church. It was also conveniently located near the BSI bus station and the harbor.

The only drawback was that the shower cubicles took a while to drain, which was a bit inconvenient.

Nice place to stay in Reykjavik, if compared to other hotels.

I recently stayed at a guesthouse in Reykjavik for my trip to Iceland. The staff at Eric The Red were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to assist me. When my airport transfer didn't show up, they called a taxi for me and even paid the bill. The room was clean and quiet, and the breakfast was delicious. I really appreciated their hospitality and I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Iceland.

100% Recommend this hotel.

It's my first option in Reykjavik, thank you. I loved its staff and location, neat building.

What a charming and unique guesthouse! The decor and art gave it a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that was a refreshing change from the typical "clean and sleek" hotels. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city near landmarks and great food options. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious and we loved meeting fellow travelers during mealtime. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with a lovely view of the garden. And can we talk about the powerful shower? Amazing! Oh, and let's not forget Raggie, the adorable ginger cat who made our stay even more enjoyable. I can't find a single fault with this guesthouse. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
