About

Reykjavik Treasure B&B

Reykjavik Treasure B&B sits on Fischersund, a quiet street in the heart of the capital, just 500 metres from the pond at Lake Tjornin. The 3-star property has a sun terrace and a shared lounge, and free Wi-Fi reaches every corner. It’s a compact, personal place—more like staying in someone’s home than a hotel—with a VIP check-in, express options, and a concierge desk that can arrange tours and tickets.

Breakfast is the highlight: guests repeatedly praise the spread of homemade breads, cheeses, meats, avocado, and strong coffee. The dining area is cosy, and the same warmth extends to the host, who shares local tips and makes solo travellers feel instantly welcome. Rooms are simple and clean, some with private bathrooms, and the atmosphere is quiet enough to meet fellow guests without feeling crowded.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms on the smaller side — At least one guest noted the rooms are a bit small, though they felt it was worth it for the experience. If you need generous space, this might feel tight.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window limited — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:30. Late arrivals after that time would need to arrange something with the host.
