This is it. Gisti-Inn opened its doors just a few years ago in a spacious, impeccably renovated, former private residence on a quiet residential street in one of the better neighborhoods in the old part of Reykjav k. Close to everything, the place is more like a small, luxury class European hotel than an ordinary guesthouse.
Bedrooms are huge by Nordic standards and many open onto private or shared terraces.
All rooms are equipped with color TV, phones, and mini-bars. Both public and private rooms are beautifully furnished, many with fine antiques, and the bathrooms are downright sybaritic. There are double and single rooms, with and without private bath and an inviting and elegant sitting room where guests can relax anytime. All this luxury does not come cheap, however. The prices at Gisti Inn rival those of some of the city's better full service hotels.
