Popular points of interest near the guest house include Reykjavik Art Museum: Kjarvalsstadir, Laugavegur Shopping Street and Harpa Concert Hall & Conference Centre. The nearest airport is Reykjavík Domestic Airport, 2 km from Reykjavík Central Guesthouse.

For me, it's important to sleep well in silence. We had a very good bed and it was perfectly safe and sound, no noise or loud people in other rooms. The kitchen was excellent equipped for what we need for our stay. They have a laundry room as well, You can use it. The bathroom was clean, and everything was functional. Clean white towels are always for use. The building looks old from the outside, i don't know why, but it's pretty new everything. Very good area to go everywhere, even walking. In all, for us, this was very worthy.

    Fantastic host and breakfast (enough for later in the day). Great location to get on the road to see the sights or taxi into Reykjavik. Saw the Northern Lights from the picturesque backyard.

    We decided to stay a couple extra nights in Iceland to rest up before traveling home and booked Hlid Fisherman’s village because it is secluded and quiet. It was obviously a labor of love for someone, and it shows. It is a really quaint setup and very private, but we were close enough to drive to restaurants and shopping.

    Isolated place with a nice view on the sea, charming old style village A car is needed (though there is a bus stop not too far), it is far from any shop or other activity than enjoying quietness, nature and jacuzzi

    Amazing location, 10 minute drive from Reykjavik, supermarkets and restaurants. Comfortable room, quiet and clean, great Wi-Fi connection, superb view of the ocean and the Northern lights. We also enjoyed the hot tub and the sauna. Very easy to contact the owner and had a quick reply when we needed something. Very happy to recommend this place and go back ourselves.
