Emily
Lovely beds and clean white linens. Very easy and conveniently placed in a quiet residential street just minutes from shops, bars and restaurants.
Chris
The room was small but of nice quality. The bed was comfortable and had nice linens. The shower is in a high tub that was a bit slippery. There are no grab bars to get in and out. Water from the shower sprayed onto the floor. WiFi was great. The room had a microwave, fridge, sink and dishes with utensils. The free parking is whatever you can find on the street. We had to park two blocks away on two nights - not a big deal but definitely misleading. The room was level with the street, and not in the house upstairs. The closest coffee shop is a 15 minute walk uphill. We were able to walk to all sites downtown, but it would be difficult for someone with limited mobility.
Justine
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse Galtafell! Our room was very comfortable and the location was great. We even ran in to a small issue getting in to our room and someone was able to come help us very quickly. Check-in was very easy and we would love to come again.
Michael
We had a little apartment with two bed-rooms. Everathing was very clean and the beds were very confortable. As we had a late arrival, the owner let us clear instructions but also offered to contact him (it was not necessary). We enjoyed our stay!
Alexa

We booked 1 night in the studio which is located in a separate annex beside the main house. Our room was at the very back of a passage way beside the house that had a broken sidewalk and was lined with garbage cans and scaffolding. There's no lobby or checkin desk; when we arrived our name was on a piece of paper stuck to the door of the studio. This guesthouse is not at all as pictured. We had no access to the main house yet pictures of lovely sitting rooms and dining areas are online. There is no breakfast available. There is no front desk. Our TV did not work and when we called the contact number to tell the owner, there was no answer. Later we saw her outside and told her our TV didn't work. We were told the TV's don't work but we were free to sign into our Prime Amazon account and watch that! The room was very dark and not as pictured. The glass shower door had mold all over the bottom. The wall below the windows also had mold on it. The skylights were smeared over with some kind of paint. Our \"garden view\" was of a dirt yard and overturned lawn furniture with a few flowers. We were so looking forward to staying in what was pictured as a charming and elegant guesthouse. We spent many nights in Iceland and the accommodation was always first rate. This guesthouse was a disgrace and should be reported for misleading advertising.

Honestly this place was amazingggg! Easy, comfortable, great location. I couldnt say more. If I had one down side it was the shower. The curtain could have been longer or something but we soaked the floor everytime - very unintentionally. Otherwise it was fantastic

Dan
We really enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Galtafell! Really good value for money, clean and lovely and warm rooms. The location is amazing, walking distance to BSI bus station and central Reykjavik. Checking in was so easy too!
We had a small issue in our room. The toilet leaked but Guesthouse Galtafell could not have done more! They immediately moved us to a new upgraded room and were so apologetic. Things happen but the way they dealt with the situation was brilliant!
Without hesitation, I would stay here again and will have no issue recommending this room to anyone!
Thank you Guesthouse Galtafell

Glen

JoAnn
Everything about this stay was top tier! The location: near the BSI, trendy restaurant and retail strip yet on a quiet street. The host was responsive and considerate. She graciously made an accommodation that brightened my brief but lovely stay. The facilities are consciously planned out in detail, clean and comfortable. The best!
Brenda
Big space, very clean, great location, wonderful hosts
Brenda
Room was clean and really big for the price. The owners were really nice and helpful.
Remy
Not a lot of sound proofing, so you can hear steps above you, your neighbors conversations, and sound from outside. Otherwise simple. Bed was comfortable.
steve
We had a wonderful experience. Check-in was a breeze. The room was clean and everything we needed. We would stay again.
Xuan
It’s a beautiful place and offered us what we expected.
Ronald
Excellent choice for a few nights in Reykjavik. Nicely renovated small suites in a converted large home. Its an easy walk from the main bus station for airport (and other) buses, and close enough to walk into central Reykjavik. Would certainly stay here again if we return to Iceland.
Tabitha
The host was great. Very communicative and arranged for us to self check in late and as an extra bonus we were able to leave our bags after checkout for a couple of hours which was very convenient. The room was clean and fine for our one night stay. However, there was a strange smell from the water in the pipes which made the entire room smell a little unpleasant and there was a lot of noise throughout the night from the walkway right outside as guests checked in and out so be mindful of that if you are a light sleeper. Overall it is in a good walkable location and fine for a short stay.
Abigail
Perfect bungalow
Check in was simple, it was walking distance to anything down town but tucked away from the busyness. The little kitchen was perfect for making a quick meal, which is nice as dining out is pricey in Reykjavík. Would highly recommend!
Lye Hock
Near to BAI terminal
Stacey
Nice rooms, but not spacious
The hotel was attractive looking in a nice area of town. The room was modern, clean, and very well kept, but it was definitely small. We had 2 large suitcases and barely had enough room to walk around the bed and open the doors! If you are traveling light or don't mind being cramped, it's a pleasant hotel in a residential area of town with easy access to the main shopping area / church.
Diana
Great for family stay
Very spacious. Convenient to Rainbow Road and other attractions. Clean, gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.
Brad
The host Thorey was extremely gracious. Thank you for a relaxing stay.
Clair
We checked in late due to our travel there and the owner had everything ready with key and access to the room. We met her on the last day and she was so sweet. Beautiful accommodations like we stepped into another place, not your average hotel.
Only small complaint was the sulfur smell when taking a shower and it didn’t vent well, so all steam from the shower settled on everything in the bathroom making everything wet, lol. We managed though.

I was allowed to check in early after arriving at Keflavik in an overnight flight. I was allowed to check in as soon as I arrived - around 10:30 a.m.
Extremely comfortable bed, quiet neighbourhood, you can walk downtown in about 10 minutes.

This is a beautiful, historic building that is in a great, central location. The check-in and check-out processes were easy and quick. The only issue is that the hot water smells a bit of sulfur.

Excellent location walking distance to downtown and bus station, comfortable unit, beautiful property, friendly and helpful staff. I would absolutely recommend this lodging to future travelers.
Oliver
Lovely apartment not far from the BSI and also a short walk or scooter journey downtown. Spacious property for two staying a week. Was tidy, practical and would highly recommend
Philip
A great place to stay. Super clean and very large. We had two bedrooms and a full kitchen. The heated floors in the bathroom were a wonderful surprise.
Only a 10 min walk from the bus terminal.
The host was very helpful. We were able to drop off our luggage pre checkin so we didn’t have to cart it around all day.
Would highly recommend.

Verified traveler
Cozy room in convenient location
Great location, close to bus terminal and downtown (there is a bit of a slope in the surrounding neighborhood if that is a concern for anyone), and also in a quiet neighborhood. There is a little bit of wear and tear from previous travelers, which is completely understandable. Overall, very comfortable and would definitely come back. Thank you!

Alyssa
Nice little place
It was very nice to have our own room and bathroom away from the main house. It made it so we could come and go as we pleased which was very important for us to see the Northern lights. There is daily housekeeping so we never had to worry about things getting very dirty. Would definitely go back here if I come back to Iceland.
June
The owner was extremely responsive to any questions we had and was very helpful. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. The linens on the beds were very nice and towels were replaced every day. Parking is an issue nearby if you happen to rent a car. Several times we had to park more than three blocks away. The shower and bathtub combo is not handicapped accessible if you need that. We loved having a small kitchen which helped to save some money on foods. Coffee and tea is provided and the brands are excellent!
Michael
We booked a one-bedroom suite at Guesthouse Galtafell for a quick overnight stop in Reykjavik. Communication from the property was excellent; they reached out to confirm our preferences a week ahead of time, and accommodated them perfectly. Check-in and out were a breeze. Although our short stay did not allow us to fully take advantage of the amenities, we noted that the suite was spacious and kitchen equipped with everything we would need for a longer stay. The property was clean and walkable to town and local attractions. It was also more reasonably-priced than other properties (in the centre of town) we've stayed at previously. The property itself is older (like many buildings in Reykjavik) but our suite was newly renovated, comfortable and modern. It's also very close to the domestic (not KEF) airport and the bus terminal. We would definitely place Guesthouse Galtafell at the top of our list for future trips to Reykjavik!
Mary
We had a small apartment on the first floor of a big house. Easy to find. Nice living space where you could cook if you wanted to. Separate big bedroom space.
The only negative is the shower is inside a very deep tub. Very clean.

Noise, was right by the gate with people continuously leaving between 4:30am and 6am. Website makes it sound like you are staying in nice big old house, but are actually staying in a converted garage. On the plus side we got to check in early. Safe did not work as someone took the batteries
wilson
Highly recommended. Very accommodating and close to everything. Definitely going back there.
John A
Host was willing to store luggage as we arrived in the morning. She also got our room ready early. Comfortable bed and main part of town very walkable.
Anna
Finding parking was really complicated, had to park couple blocks away. But location is very nice, close to center.
CAROL
Excellent communication with easy to follow instructions. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!
Deborah
The guesthouse was lovely. The room was spacious and the location perfect-walkable to shops, restaurants and museums. Our host was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.
Hannah
Great place in a great location with everything we needed! Loved the note on the door for when we arrived. Would definitely come back!!
Shruti
Nice property. the property owner was very helpful.
Angelica
Would stay here again! Super clean, quiet, peaceful. Slept like a baby. Right near the main downtown area and near a beautiful park if you like to go for walks or exercise.
Lina
Comfortable and clean
The apartment was perfect for our family. It was very comfortable, had everything we needed and was very clean. 10 minute walk to downtown. We had a small refrigerator, sink, microwave and coffee maker in our room, which made breakfast really easy. I enjoyed the blackout curtains.
Clayton
Fantastic location, B&B style guesthouse
Absolutely perfect location for travelers who will rely on Flybus from Reykjavik to main bus terminal. Easy 10 min walk from there, similar distance to heart of Reykjavik. Quiet at night. Some rooms are small and sparse in the converted garage, others are in main guesthouse building with more traditional furnishings. Easy arrived and departure and kind staff. Location is a 11/10 though for travelers on a modest budget using Flybus transfer.
David
Lovely apartment & great location
Very good Guesthouse with first class service from the Manager, Thorey. Spotlessly clean, recently refurbished and very comfortable apartment. A few minor points resolved very speedily. Brilliant location for Reykjavik centre, famous Hallgrimskirkja Church and the BSI Bus station to Keflavik Airport
Rebecca
We had a wonderful time in Reykjavik and our host at this property was so communicative! Great location very close to the main town and church but out enough that it was easy to find parking. Lots of food options less than 10 minutes away!
Elizabeth
Lovely compact room in a quiet area that is easily walkable to dining and shopping
John
The hostess, Thorey is a jewel. very helpful getting us tickets for the ferry to Westman and everything else about our stay.
There were some renovations going on to the outside walls near to our room, but other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Jeffery
Great value and location. No onsite reception, but communication was good. Would give 5 stars if TV worked and housekeeping made the beds.
John
Our room was nice and clean with a convenient in room bathroom with a great shower. The location is perfect for walking to all the major restaurant and shopping areas.
Ruth
We stayed in a Galtafell apartment for four days (Mar 1-4). Thorey, our host, was kind and responsive. The apartment was not large, but had all we needed - two bedrooms (can arrange 4 twin beds how you want), one bathroom, small kitchen, plus a small dining area. There is no oven, but we were fine with the small stove and provided pans. The beds were very comfortable, which we appreciated after long days exploring the beautiful country of Iceland. The location was great, as well. You can easily walk into the center of Reykjavik or up to Hallgrimskirkja (huge church). All in all, the four of us (all adults) enjoyed our stay!
Chris
Very clean, very nice place easy access to everything around. Walkable to everywhere. Lovely people
Yaritza
All Flights cancelled. Galtafell to the rescue!
We had a layover in Keflavík on our way home from elsewhere. High wind speeds delayed and eventually cancelled all flights. Cue hundreds of passengers from multiple flights scrambling to book hotels at the same time.
After lots of “sold out” on every website I eventually found Galtafell and am so glad we stayed there. Super clean and comfortable, and a short walk from everything so we were able to enjoy some time enjoying the city on this unplanned stay.
When we have a proper trip to Iceland again we would definitely stay there. Thank you so much!

Vincent
Awesome place to stay in Reykjavik! Thorey was very responsive and helpful. minutes from BSI bus Terminal, Museums, university and downtown. Could not have asked for better accommodations.
Hon
The property is very convenient and clean, We are Elderly couple arrival earlier.the owner let us resting in the living room and also have a room for us 2 hours early. Very much appreciated.
Sachin
Excellent location close to all touristic activities. Easily available street parking. Apartment had spacious rooms, all amenities including a full kitchenette and 4 comfortable beds. Host was super responsive and always committed to make the stay more enjoyable. Water source is from underground, which may not be suitable to all and so had to deduct one star for same. Hoping Expedia is transparent about underground water source at this accommodation on their website for future guests to make better decisions.
Gregory
The property had seen better days. Our room was just a converted garage. We picked to location only because friends we knew were staying there. I would have stayed in a hotel as the amenities would have been better.
The people running this were gracious and accommodating.
