“Excellent establishment”

Baldursbra Guesthouse

5 of 5 stars
Salt Lake City, UT
Sep 24, 2007

An excellent value for Iceland and superior service. Evelyn is friendly and helpful and runs a very good business. The location is convenient to walking in the city. The rooms are comfortable and cozy. The breakfast service is outstanding. Evelyn is cheerful and extremely helpful. I stayed here with my family (wife and 2 kids 7 and 11). We reserved the top floor (two rooms with bath) and this worked out beautifully. We will definitely stay here again. Upon arrival in Keflavek airport at 6:00 am, we got the bus into town and they took us to the guesthouse. Evelyn welcomed us for breakfast and our room was available by 10:00 am. This is something to consider when jet lagged. You don't get welcoming service like this just anywhere. As I said, Evelyn was very gracious. Upon departure, she made sure that we had breakfast at 4:00 am and our bus service picked us up to go to the airport at 5:00 am. This is standard practice in Iceland and our trip was very smooth. The only thing that some people might find difficult about the guesthouse is that it is a smoking establishment. I am extremely sensitive to smoke, so it was a bit bothersome at times. I was able to cope and, although I would prefer to live in a smoke-free world, I understand that I cannot always have things my way. In the end, we ventilated our rooms with windows and it was fine. Baldersbra is a fine place to stay in Iceland.

“Guesthouse was very good, owner is very helpful”

Baldursbra Guesthouse

4 of 5 stars
Washington DC, District of Columbia
Sep 17, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Three of us rented one single and one double room. Both rooms were very clean and comfortable, as was the bathroom we shared. The location is great, just a few blocks from downtown. There is a hot tub and a sauna in the back yard.

Breakfast was very good – meat, cheese, bread, yogurt, fruit, cucumbers, olives, coffee, milk, and juice. We were able to store beer and wine in the fridge. There is BBC World (and others) on satellite TV in the living room.

Evelyne helped us rent a car at a price lower than anything I had seen and we could leave the keys with her when we were done instead of returning it to the office. She also coordinated a horse back ride and our return bus to the airport.

We would definitely stay there again!

“Exceptional Guesthouse”

Baldursbra Guesthouse

2/2 found this review helpful

Evelyne cant be beat, a dedicated hard working owner always ready to accomodate. We woke her up at 6:00 A.M. the morning of last year's city marathon and she let us in early. She picked us up when we needed a ride, and washed some of our clothes.
Very clean rooms and a short walk to town. We are booked again this June and feel happy , safe & very comfortable going back.

“Great place, great value, great owner”

Baldursbra Guesthouse

5 of 5 stars

3/3 found this review helpful

Charming little house in old part of city. Room simple and clean. Great breakfast - meat, cheese, yogurt. The guesthouse is very well managed.

The owner goes above and beyond to be helpful. I had trouble getting my rental car. Evelyne made my problem hers - helped me with phone calls and assured me that she would get me another car at a very reasonable price if mine fell through.

Overall - exceptional service and a great place to stay.

“A great place to call home in REK”

Baldursbra Guesthouse

Sep 28, 2006
5/5 found this review helpful

As a B&B I I found this one to be excellent for REK. Evelyn, the "house Mom"was most attentive pre and during my visit.

Great location, an easy walk to most of of REK. Never felt safer in a late night walk in any other city.

A broad selection of other visitors while I was there.Oneof the best was an Icelander from the north country. His English was more limited than those that I met in REK. But he and I had a great time together.

A clean, safe, and well located place to lay ones head.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Locatiion,and the house Mom
    • Disliked — Nothing really
    • Tips/Secrets: — Bring lots of money- Iceland is expensive - and as much of Europe, leave the Amex card behind
