Eric the Red Guesthouse

Eric the Red is a perfectly located Guest House in Reykjavik just 197 ft/200ft from Hallgrímskirkja Church which is the biggest church and single most central point in Reykjavik, we are in short...

We stayed in the garden house mid May. Despite our earlier misgivings, our studio was warm, not to say hot, probably thanks to a floor heating. The studio was small but had all the essentials incl. a desk and chair where one could work if required. Also, despite the fact that the place is very central just opposite the cathedral, the garden is very quiet. Everything was clean and neat, comfy bed, an electric kettle was provided. We could also go up to the main house kitchen and lounge for coffee. A kitchen for guests is provided if required. The host seems to be only intermittently present but this did not bother us since we did not have any issues, key in the lock, etc. Great location to see the city. The price was competitive -- esp. when compared to other venues that we inspected. What's not to like?

I like the private studio so much, with little windows on the top which you could see the northern light through it!

I'm so glad I booked this accommodation for my short stay in Iceland's capital. Centrally located, was easy to return for a quick break from all parts of central Reykjavík. Everything you may need (pubs, restaurants, shops, meeting point for tours) were in walking distance (max. 10 minutes). The host was super kind, check-in/check out could not have been easier. During my stay, I shared the house with other younger travellers. I liked my selected room, it was equipped with basically everything you may need, and so was the kitchen for making your own dishes/tea/coffee. I can fully recommend to book your accommodation at Grettir.

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!

    Very good price for a single room in Reykjavik, was even cheaper than dorm-beds in some hostels! Good location, only a few minutes walk to city center. Supermarket next door, still the street itself is rather quiet. Very clean and also has basic equipment for cooking.

    Plenty of toilets (4) and showers (3), kind hosts who were eager to help with small favours, tasty smörgåsbord breakfast, quiet rooms, classic Reykjavík home guesthouse! Easy access to city center by short walk.

    Access to the guesthouse is by email instructions which were clear and helpful. This is one of the cheapest hotels available at the moment in Reykjavik but the room was clean and bright. Wifi was good, shared bathroom also clean - if rather small - and the staff helpful. Bed was basic but comfortable and I slept well. The hotel is in a good location near to the city centre but in a quiet area.
