I needed to make a last-minute reservation in Reykjavik and looked at Guesthouse Aurora primarily based on price and location. And it didn't disappoint. I had a clean room, clean shared bathroom and a good breakfast in a safe area very close to Hallgrímskirkja church. They also can do laundry for a cost and hold luggage.

Clean inviting and friendly guesthouse in the heart of Reykjavik. Right by bus stop 8, perfect for tour pick ups, and an easy walk to the Main Street with food. Community pool within walking distance as well. Felt safe and comfortable as a female solo traveler. I stayed in the second building, which was also an apartment building on the other side. I needed 3 keys to get into my room which made me feel extra safe and comfortable. Breakfast was fresh buffet style and perfect to grab before a long day of adventures

Budget but great value and location

This is a budget guesthouse. That being said, the staff was very responsive booking us a return bus pickup to the airport and the breakfast was varied with fresh baked bread.

We had a great time at Guesthouse Aurora. It is located right next Hallgrimskirkja, shopping, dining, and old Reykjavík. It was a five minute walk to the BSI bus station where many of our day tours left from.We had a kitchenette and were able to cook for ourselves. Everyone was very nice and they allowed us to store our luggage on day one and our last day before and after check in and check out. Breakfast had many options. The price was price was great for all these amenities!

Near Hallgrimskirkja Church and within 10 minutes walk to downtown and Central bus station the guesthouse is in great location. Lovely breakfast with warm breads in the morning. My room had a kitchenette which allowed me to make some meals (money saving as eating out is expensive).
