As a group visiting the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, we found the guesthouse to be in a prime location, just a short walk away. The rooms were cozy and clean, with comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchenette. The check-in process was convenient, allowing us flexibility in our arrival time, and the staff were quick to respond to any questions we had via email. The added touch of having free parking nearby was also a plus.

The breakfast was a great opportunity to socialize with other guests and share stories about our New Year adventures. the location was perfect, just a short walk away from the city center and the beautiful lake, which made exploring Reykjavik very convenient. our room was equipped with a refrigerator and a microwave, which allowed us to store and prepare our own snacks.
The curtains in our room were so ineffective that they let in all the light, making it difficult to sleep during the long winter nights. the shared bathroom situation was not ideal.

Comfortable property with welcoming staff who were helpful in making calls for excursions. Beautifully decorated and well-equipped, it felt like staying in someone's home rather than a hostel. Spacious bathroom and cozy room with a large TV and plenty of books. The hospitality was friendly and helpful, with sweet interactions from Jelly and Frum. Great value compared to other accommodations in Reykjavik.

The venue was atmospheric, I appreciated the stay and the location was unbeatable not far from center of town as well as the BSI bus station. The staff were pretty friendly and pleasant made my stay great! The room was brand-new with a kitchenette, private bathroom, sofa bed for kids and the breakfast was tasty. Everything seemed great, clean.

We stayed at Guesthouse Galtafell for three nights during our trip to Iceland. The suite was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a mini kitchen, sitting room. The location was excellent, with the downtown area, bus station, and grocery store all within easy walking distance. The staff was efficient and helpful, and the breakfast served in the main building was delicious and catered to a wide range of tastes. we had a wonderful stay at Guesthouse Galtafell.
I do recommend this hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Reykjavik. Firstly, the location was perfect - nestled amongst beautiful residential areas, it offered a quiet neighborhood while still being within easy walking distance of most sights in the city. Secondly, the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that all my needs were met. Thirdly, the rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, with a full-sized bath that was a pleasant surprise. Lastly, the value for money was excellent, with breakfast included in the price. this hotel provided a great experience at a reasonable price.
All was just as expected - no complaints whatsoever.

This was a very comfortable stay in terrific location in Reykjavik. This hotel was set in a central area just next door to the buses from the airport arrive and the city centre. Stopped by Cafe Loki to get some coffee and treats, it's near the venue, recommend.

We loved how close the hotel was to the city centre. It was just a short stroll away from many bars, shops, and restaurants. The hotel facilities were very clean and well-maintained. We were pleased to find that parking was free on the roads in the immediate area. Additionally, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful!
Was all great.

This budget guesthouse is located in a nice, quiet area that's still easily accessible—very close to the main bus station and within walking distance of downtown. Some rooms have a bathtub and an extra toilet, and all rooms are clean with comfortable beds. There's a fridge and microwave in the room, which is convenient for early or late trips.
The lack of a proper reception area means that check-in can be confusing for guests, especially if arriving outside of business hours.

During my Christmas stay, I really appreciated the convenient location of this guesthouse. It was only a short walk from the bus station and the city center, making it easy to explore Reykjavik. Additionally, the staff at the guesthouse were extremely friendly and helpful. They provided clean towels when needed and the room was well equipped with a kettle, mini fridge, and microwave. It was also nice to have the option to borrow a hair dryer from the bathroom. the atmosphere was peaceful and I felt safe walking around the quiet neighborhood.
One aspect that I didn't particularly enjoy was the room temperature. the bedroom felt a bit cool and there was no way to adjust the heat.

Located in a quiet residential area near Central Park, this guesthouse offers comfortable beds and a great bathroom. The well-appointed apartments come with modern amenities and fully equipped kitchenettes with a sandwich maker and coffee machine. Check-in was hassle-free with clear instructions left on the door. Free parking and strong wifi were added bonuses.

I had an amazing stay at a cozy guesthouse with a warm and comfy room just outside the main house. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the friendly owners and their adorable golden retriever made me feel right at home. The location was perfect, close to the Bsi bus station and with easy access to the city center. The continental breakfast was delicious and convenient for early morning tours. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved the spacious suite with a well-equipped kitchenette and comfy lounge area. The host was friendly, and we adored her adorable cat. The guesthouse is conveniently located within walking distance of all of town, and also close to the bus terminal. Checking in early was a breeze, and having a small refrigerator in the room was a plus.
Felt right at home, no complaints.

I had the most amazing experience staying at this guesthouse. The location was perfect, just a short walk to all the main tourist attractions in downtown. It was also super convenient to have plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The room I stayed in was clean and comfortable, with a lovely view of the city. The bathroom was well-maintained and easily accessible. The service provided by the owners was outstanding, they really cared about making sure I had a great stay. The breakfast in the cozy living room was a delightful start to my day.
The only downside was that the check-in process was a bit unconventional, with no staff available upon arrival. However, this was quickly resolved and did not impact the overall positive experience.

This hotel offers great value for money. The prices are reasonable considering the location in a lovely residential area. The staff pays attention to detail, as seen in the well-prepared kitchenware in the rooms. The rooms themselves are clean and tidy, with fresh towels provided daily. What a pleasant surprise to find a full-sized bath in the room, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
All was just right, no improvements needed.
