Great stay at Sunna!
A group of 5 of us came to run in the Reykjavik Marathon and Sunna was spacious, clean, and comfortable with many amenities and a responsive desk staff. It is also in a great location where most of the restaurants and grocery stores were within walking distance. Would stay there again.

Sunna Guesthouse great place and location
The place was clean, staff great and in a great place to explore the city. The issue we had was the beds were twins pushed together and they would separate and create a gap between them as we slept.
This is a small issue and we would stay here again.

Guesthouse SUNNA—a superior value!
Everything met my expectations and the staffing supplied any special assistance I needed! The location on Sunna Guesthouse is central to main shopping streets, beautiful Hallgrimskirkja Church, tour and siteseeing bus stop #8 and the best restaurants in town (shout out Cafe Loki, Skal, Braud & Co. and Reykjavik Roasters) I loved the breakfasts and the classic Icelandic spartan quality of facility and service!

Exceptional in every way
I stayed one night at Sunna and was there just long enough to sleep, but the venue was a standout nonetheless. My room was spacious, and clean, had a lovely private bath and the best shower I'd had in my 8-day/7-night tour of Iceland. I wasn't there long enough to enjoy the common spaces but was really amazed by the offerings. Additionally, communication was great throughout; inquires were quickly answered and after-hours check-in instructions were incredibly clear. And they were so flexible about things like a delayed checkout and a request to keep my car in their lot for an additional hour after check-out. I loved everything about this guest house.

Disappointed
For a hotel as costly as this - they can provide shampoo and soap. Also, they ran out of breakfast by 8:00am. Having been a hotel for some time, they should know how much food they need. Yes, they gave us nearby bakeries that they recommended…. Which turned out to be great because a great breakfast was half the price of what the hotel charged.

Comfortable stay
We stayed at Sunna Guesthouse for 3 nights. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent. The room was basic and small, but clean. There was a small shared kitchen next to our room, which was convenient for keeping snacks and soft drinks. The Guesthouse is very convenient to the main shopping area and areas of interest. We considered the Guesthouse a very good value for the money.

Lovely stay across from the famous landmark church. Well located, clean and comfortable. Front desk very helpful with arrangements. Must arrange breakfast night before (which we didn't know) and rooms facing the street can be noisy as you need to leave windows open.
Otherwise great stay!

Clean and neat! Very good location- just right on the corner of the big church and rainbow road. Five stars!
The only thing is they don’t have elevator, so if you have big luggage, you need to carry them upstairs at your own.
