In the organiser's words
Quoted from sim.is and checked on 1 September 2026. This is the organiser's description, reproduced as captured. It has not been through the evidence checks that produced the figures above.
Founded in 2002 by SÍM – The Association of Icelandic Visual Artists – in partnership with Reykjavík, SÍM Guesthouse aims to serve as a shelter in the Reykjavík center for visiting international and local artists, cultural workers, their accompanying partners, and family members. SÍM Guesthouse is an old, charming house conveniently located in the heart of Reykjavík. Residencies at SÍM Guesthouse are self directed and self funded, and are intended to acomodate artists for short stopovers, networking, collaborations and research.
The Guesthouse is, however, not well equipped as a space for production. SÍM is a nonprofit organization. Therefore, the guesthouse fee only meets the general needs to maintain and administrate the guesthouse facilities.
The rooms are rented from one night up to two weeks. A 10% discount is applied for bookings of one week or longer.
The guesthouse bedrooms are private, whilst the cosy living room, kitchen, and bathroom are shared with guests in the other three rooms. Room 1, 30 sqm – is two private rooms divided into a working and living room, with a private sink and bedroom. Rooms 2,3 and 4 are around 15sqm each. Each room is a private room with two single beds.
Sheets, towels, communal cost, and wireless internet access are included. Smoking is not allowed indoors. Guests must clean the apartment and have it ready for other guests before they leave. No application is required. For guesthouse stays, just book through our website.
The SÍM guesthouse provides accommodation for artists of any discipline, curators and other creative workers.
The bedrooms provided are studio bedrooms with desks, but are not intended to be used as fully equipped studios for production. For this reason, the residency is intended to be used solely for short stays, networking, collaborations and research.
Room 1, 30 sqm – The fee per night for one guest is 18.000 ISK, and 22.000 ISK per night for two guests. Rooms 2,3 and 4 around 15sqm each. The fee for one night is 12.000 ISK, and 16.000 ISK per night for two guests.
