Reykjavik Peace Center Guesthouse

Perfect location for a quick stop in Reykjavik. It’s not the cleanest of places (kitchen sink and stove was a bit dirty, but hey… what do you expect? It’s very clean compared to other hostels/hotels with shared kitchens like this!) but still worth every penny. I’d go there again any time. They do have a cozy library. All in all I really do like the vibe of the place 🫶🏻

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!

This was our last stay in the Iceland trip. There were few major issues with this accomodation. Water in the shower smelled sulfur. I'm not sure they used untreated water or something. The shower was not draining well. We did not get WiFi connection details although they mentioned there is free WiFi. Informed them by a message. But they never responded. I booked this trusting the good reviews and the good price. I would recommend put extra dollars choose a different place.

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.

Do not stay at this place, especially if you are woman travelling alone. Nobody works here, and the back door that leads to the alley is unlocked, You just walk in. The stairs have no railings, The bedroom door was broken and does not lock properly. There are piles and piles ( like 5 ft high) of garbage around the place. The shared toilet was broken, and ran all night so very loud. Buckets on the floor to collect leaking roof water. Not okay.

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!

HORRIBLE PLACE! PLEASE AVOID! HORRIBLE PLACE! The main entrance door to this center would not open and had to be kicked from inside to open. While trying to enter from outside, we had to bang on the door and side window before someone opened it from inside. Extremely scary when you are with family and arrive late Bathrooms were unclean and filthy, used soap provided. Dustbins overflowing with thrash. Water in the taps had sulphur smell. Kitchen was unclean and dirty. Horrible, worst experience.
