Pleasant
We chose the guesthouse because of its proximity to the main BSi station so once we arrive in Reykjavik we won't have to walk for too long with a baby. Overall it was a good choice for the first night - it's very close to the church and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area.
The beds were comfy, breakfast is very basic but we knew about it from other reviews so overall it was an ok stay and I'm happy we stayed there for only the first night for a "soft landing" in Iceland before we moved on to other places.
1. Street noise - we had a baby with us and we were placed on the lower ground floor, there was no sound isolation to the room so basically we could hear it whenever people outside were passing-by and talking, not even loudly, but we could really hear everything and the baby woke up a few times because of the noise.
2. Right next to our room there was a door that had a downward staircase behind it (to the breakfast area), which could be very dangerous for children, I had to always make sure the baby doesn't go near it when we opened our room's door.

I love my room the second night because it was a single room, not with an extra bed. Also, the room was painted nicely and decorated plugs were handy. Place was clean.

Guesthouse Aurora was perfectly located in the city center and only a short walk to many attractions, shopping, restaurants, and a major FlyBus stop. The facility was clean, well maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the variety at breakfast and the ability to meet other guests from around the world. I would definitely book again the next time I am in Reykjavik.
My only complaint was that my room was next to the front door, and I could hear all the comings and goings of other guests into the early morning hours. The second night was much quieter, though.

The evening staff member who checked us in was amazing!
The breakfast area felt like a basement and it wasn’t a great selection.

Location was perfect, close to city centre and bus station. Easy check-in. Breakfast was basic but good.
Room was on ground floor on the street side so could be a little noisy but not too bad. Room was small but for solo traveler was ok.

It is located close to the church. The staff is helpful and kind. The rooms and the common areas are clean. The breakfast is pretty basic but it’s okay. A perfect option for people travelling on a budget
No power sockets near the bed. The kitchen area is cold.

The breakfast was fantastic, Staff make you feel welcome and at home- shout out to Dominika for being so lovely to speak to! We originally weren't put in the correct room, however that was quickly sorted and the rest of our stay was a breeze! Loved having access to our own kitchen which was shared with another room (no issues!). Overall a fantastic stay near the heart of Downtown Reykjavik! <3 look for the cats around the neighborhood!
room was rather small so if you had a lot of bags like we did, be prepared to be a little squished! Though i dont believe all of the rooms were that small

Good location.
Stayed for 4 nights, towels never changed. No one came to do any maintenance or cleaning at all. Breakfast is served at 7:30. Too late for most of the day tours signed up for.

Disappointing
I expected a hotel, and this was one step above a hostel. very small room. you can do much better elsewhere for the price.

The house is in 2 mins walking to Hallgrimskirkja, so the location is super central. Our room was spacious and featured with a wash basin and three windows. The breakfast was also very nice as it included numerous options of food and drinks. It was warm in the room, and the bathroom facilities were clean.

The location of the guesthouse is very central to Reykjavik and its many sights. The staff were all very helpful, especially when my flight got canceled. I landed a full day late, and they happily provided me with an invoice for the one night so that I could submit for reimbursement from the airline.
The mattress was a little too bouncy for me. It was comfortable enough, but could have been a little more firm. I would have appreciated more than one power outlet as the one in the room was very awkward to access.

Location is great.
Room was basic but ok.
Staff is a mixed bag, there are 2 blond girls taking care of breakfast/needs of the guests, the one with tattoos is very nice and the other once is, as someone else mentioned in the comments, the rudest person in Iceland. I am deducting one point from my rating based on this.
Word of caution: there is no actual luggage storage, they say there is, but luggage must be left unattended in a corner the breakfast room/kitchen, I expressed my concern about this and was told "if you do not like it you can take your things to a paid luggage storage facility". This ruined my morning as I had to rush to take things to a storage facility before the start of my morning tour.
There are very few toilets for the amount of rooms.
Impossible to sleep past 6am as people start waking up for the tours and all doors slam shut.

Location was excellent - so well situated.
Close to the landmark church.
It was very clean and included breakfast, which is always a bonus.
Rooms were smaller than we expected, but adequate. The shared bathroom situation was not ideal - but it’s not a reflection on the Aurora. People are slobs. Leaving wet towels on the floor, missing the garbage can… again not the guesthouse’s doing, but was annoying. Can’t choose your neighbours.

This place was clean clean clean. Great location and reasonably priced by Reykjavík standards
The breakfast options were very wide and tasty. Unfortunately the eating area was a little tight but typical of European accommodations
Tight eating area
