About
Laekur Guesthouse
Laekur Guesthouse sits in a quiet residential pocket of Reykjavik’s east district, about a five-minute walk from the Sun Voyager sculpture and a short stroll from the old harbour and downtown. The 2-star guesthouse keeps things simple: a shared lounge, a terrace, and a communal kitchen for guests who want to cook their own meals.
Rooms are clean and modern, with heating and allergy-free options, and most open onto a quiet street. Parking is free and available nearby, and the guesthouse also runs a paid airport shuttle. It is a practical, no-fuss base for exploring Reykjavik without the noise of the main tourist strip.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms — The listed room types come with shared bathroom facilities, which may not suit everyone.
- No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with a dog or cat, this guesthouse won’t work for you.
- Finding the way to downtown — A couple of guests found map directions into the centre a little tricky to follow, so a data connection helps.
- Limited in-room amenities — Basic rooms come with heating and street views, but without the extras like tea/coffee facilities or a private bathroom.

8.2Verified guest“One of the best holiday stays I’ve had – easily a 10/10. Rooms were spotless and felt fresh and modern, and I could fit all three of my suitcases without any trouble.”
8.2Verified guest“Enjoyed a lovely holiday here. Staff were genuinely helpful, and the location was handy for downtown. The room felt modern and spacious with a double bed, and the central heating and ironing set came in useful. Being close to the ocean, the Golden Circle route, and a quiet residential area was a plus.”
8.2Verified guest“Peaceful spot, close to the centre and with a cosy restaurant nearby.”
8.2Verified guest“The location was a little confusing to find on the map when heading into town.”
8.2Verified guest“Rooms were a good size – perfect for three suitcases – and the location was nice, though the map directions into downtown were tricky. Central heating and an ironing set were welcome extras.”
8.2Verified guest“Fantastic location, really close to a bus stop, which made getting around easy. The main shopping street was just next door, so it was very convenient for a bit of retail therapy.”
