Igdlo Guesthouse

Nice place and friendly staff. The kitchen and shower are clean and well maintained.

Cheap (for Iceland), clean place to crash for a night before departing. Has laundry but we didn't use it. Checked in after hours, so had no staff contact.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Parking on a dead end was really nice and the location was good. Not a lot of space to relax outside the rooms. You have to climb stairs for bedrooms so we opted to just bring in an overnight bag.

OK, what you are getting here is a full suite attached to a hostel. No, the place is not loud in the least, you DO have a private bathroom, and we never saw the reception area without attending staff. It is a convenient walk to to the BSI bus station, sort of. But here is my biggest negative : There is a large hospital complex between BSI and your lodging. It is expanding, and a lot of construction is going on and it throws Google Maps off some. You'll figure it out, but give yourself a few extra minutes if you are on foot. Whatever Google estimates your walking time to be, double that both coming and going. And the bed needs either better pillows or more of them. The ones we got compressed down to nothing after a few tosses and turns.
