Room and facilities were generally clean and at the top end of what you would expect given the price. A bed, toilet, and shower in the centre of Reykjavik was what we were looking for and that is what we got.

Great budget hotel in a great location. Only issue I’d say is it doesn’t appear the greatest from the outside and you might wonder where you’re going but it was perfectly acceptable inside

The location of 101 Guesthouse is great. Walkable distance to lots of shops and restaurant on the Main Street of Reykjavik. The receptionist is so nice that she allows me to check in a bit earlier upon my arrival so that I can save time for sightseeing. The room is not spacious but enough for one or two nights stay.

Stayed here for 2 nights for 4 person in a room. What I like about this place is that they have kitchen equipment that u can cook, easy access to restaurants and shopping in 5-10 mins walk There is flybus and gray line bus that goes to the airport in 3am in the morning that is just across the road; very convenient indeed. Customer service is excellent with friendly staff and very helpful.
