Guesthouse Sunna, hotel in Álftanes

Situated in Reykjavik’s old city centre, this family-run property is across the street from Hallgrim’s Church. It offers a communal kitchen, as well as modern and fresh rooms with wooden furnishings.

Although design and finishes were abit dated, it had everything required for a comfortable stay! A well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds! Having a secondary entrance that led to the carpark was really convenient for luggage moving.

Guesthouse Galtafell, hotel in Álftanes

Set in a building dating back to 1916, this Reykjavík guest house is within 5 minutes’ walk of the popular Laugavegur shopping street. Both WiFi and private, on-site parking are free.

Great location for a 10 minute walk to the centre, although the room was small it was very clean and comfortable and the underfloor heating and heated towel rail in the bathroom was great

NN Urban Guesthouse, hotel in Álftanes

A recently renovated property, NN Urban Guesthouse is located in Reykjavík near Solfar Sun Voyager, Hallgrímskirkja Church and The Pearl.

An easy walk into the city centre and good facilities in the shared kitchen. Room was cosy and warm - it's at street level but we didn't experience an issue with noise, as it's a quite quiet area. Loved being so close to a very good coffee shop too!

    Nice location, quiet and near the ocean. Nice decoration. Great time in the sauna and hot tube. All issues were solved quickly.

    Fantastic host and breakfast (enough for later in the day). Great location to get on the road to see the sights or taxi into Reykjavik. Saw the Northern Lights from the picturesque backyard.

    We decided to stay a couple extra nights in Iceland to rest up before traveling home and booked Hlid Fisherman’s village because it is secluded and quiet. It was obviously a labor of love for someone, and it shows. It is a really quaint setup and very private, but we were close enough to drive to restaurants and shopping.

    Studio Apartment at Guesthouse Eyvindarholt, 225 Álftanes, near Reykjavik – in the foreground it looks towards the attractive Bessastadir, State Government Office where the President lives, Reykjavik is in the distance (20 minutes by car). The apartment is very well equipped and only missing 3 of my 16 criteria – a desk with a suitable chair and a freezer section in the fridge. Breakfast is included and consists of orange juice, yogurt, egg, fresh bread and jam, cheeses, cold meats, apple or other fruit, a slice of cake. A delightful host.

    Isolated place with a nice view on the sea, charming old style village A car is needed (though there is a bus stop not too far), it is far from any shop or other activity than enjoying quietness, nature and jacuzzi

    Wonderful stay in a great location, comfortable room and bedding. Staff was friendly and helpful, hot tub a great addition after a long day. Perfect for northern lights viewing, due to location in a quieter area yet still well connected with Reykjavik.

    What a gorgeous guesthouse! Everything was so clean and the host was so so friendly and welcoming. All of the little touches of decor really made the studio apartment welcoming and a great comfort after Afew days of hiking and being constantly on the go. The host even cooked us a beautiful breakfast each morning and delivered it to our door. Would highly recommend for those wanting to do abit around Reykjavik or flying out from Keflavik.
