Just was a little old with the showers and had some issues with the water but other then that a great place thats perfectly near the down town :) ##### Michelle Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kendra 4 Oct 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The good: The hosts were able to give some advice on things to do and helped us review our activities. The bedding was clean and the in room basin was really helpful and also clean. The coffee is fine. There is a fridge for guests to use The bad The shared bathrooms were dirty and in poor shape, some of the shower tiles were cracked, there was a door panel missing. Quite a few parts of the building were rundown. The windows were so dirty you could barely see out and there was mould on the inside of the windows/window sills. The breakfast wasn't great and while I appreciate that there was something, it wasn't really enjoyable. I would not stay here again. ##### Kendra Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easily accessible via car from KEF. There is plenty of on street parking. It’s located in an area where there are mostly homes and apartments. Walkable to Perlan Museum (you can see the Dome from Alba). Walkable to Reykjavik. My pedometer said I walked 5m but it seemed more. Good location if you are going to Thingvellir NP or along the South Coast. Breakfast was lovely and simple. Microwave available for use. Coffee/tea/water always available. Sink in room, which was nice. Bathrooms available on 1st/2nd floors. Overall great stay! ##### Michele Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Trevor 23 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The shared bathroom aspect is really the only “issue”, which is fine, just something of which to be aware. The room was nice, basic…curtains not black out but close enough, and the staff were very available and attentive during breakfast. Parking was easy, and even though they are strict on the 3:00pm checkin, it was ok to leave our car and walk downtown while we waited, so it all worked out fine. ##### Trevor Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LISA 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Very welcoming, clean, and had a great breakfast! ##### LISA Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I would stay again. ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isobel 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, and cozy ##### Isobel Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda C 15 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Alba Guesthouse Excellent- perfect for me! ##### Linda C Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bjørn 28 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort homely and nice ##### Bjørn Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tsvetomir 15 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The vacation home is comfortable and well organized.

This is a Guesthouse so you have shared bathroom and showers. The main bathroom has heated floors, so nice on a cold day. The rooms do have a sink in them. The hosts are very nice and accommodating. They sell bag lunches and I saw something about a dinner. Continental breakfast is included. ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce 12 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thorsteinn was a great host.

And lastly, the espresso machine was tops. ##### Bruce Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan 20 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Cheap, clean and simple If you want a place to sleep while visiting Iceland this is good enough. The house from the outside looks a bit run down but is clean and good inside. Rooms are very simple with just beds and a hanger. Although clean and they serve a nice breakfast each morning. There is a shared bathroom on each floor. So If you want to visit Iceland without paying huge amount of money on a hotel you wont spend time in this is perfect. A clean bed to sleep in the nights and a breakfast to start the day. The guesthouse has a parking just outside which is a plus if you come by car. There is a 15 min walk to downtown Reykjavik. ##### Jonathan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### estelle 24 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities bien situé, proche de tout, place pour se garer salle de bain avec des odeurs de souffre ##### estelle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Candelario Andrés 8 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muy bien. ##### Candelario Andrés Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jhonathan 1 Aug 2024 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Staff & service El lugar está muy caro Para 1 noche está bien No me gustó mucho el servicio ##### Jhonathan Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Katri 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Siisti, hyvä aamiainen, ystävällinen vastaanotto ##### Katri Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sophie 17 Feb 2022 Liked: Staff & service Logement bien situé et au calme. ##### Sophie Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotel Eyja](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Eyja-Guldsmeden-Hotel.h31000378.Hotel-Information) > - [The Swan House by Heimaleiga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-The-Swan-House-Hotel-By-Ylma.h17247149.Hotel-Information) > - [CityHub Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-CityHub-Reykjavik.h105690505.Hotel-Information) > - [ODDSSON Midtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Oddsson.h34036596.Hotel-Information) > - [Grandi by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grandi-By-Center-Hotels.h45668818.Hotel-Information) > - [Luna Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Luna-Apartments.h4108201.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Rothesay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rothesay-Hotels.d9645.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Lækur Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Lkur-Hostel.h23257084.Hotel-Information) > - [ODDSSON Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-H1-Reykjavik-Apartment-Hotel.h103996896.Hotel-Information) > - [Reykjavik Domes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Domes.h36067854.Hotel-Information) > - [Reykjavík Downtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Down-Town-Hotel.h38806642.Hotel-Information) > - [Þingholt by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Ingholt-By-Center-Hotels.h1601404.Hotel-Information) > - [Miðgarður by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Migarur-By-Center-Hotels.h9853419.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Vera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Vera.h88218459.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Reykjavík Grand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Reykjavik.h45483.Hotel-Information) > - [Center Hotels Laugavegur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-CenterHotel-Laugavegur.h36412694.Hotel-Information) > - [Stay Apartments Bolholt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Stay-Apartments-Bolholt.h1495083.Hotel-Information) > - [Thingholt Hotel Apartments from Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Ingholt-Apartments-From-Center-Hotels.h70539172.Hotel-Information) > - [Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Icelandair-Hotel-Reykjavik-Marina.h4828813.Hotel-Information) > - [105 - A Townhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-105-A-Townhouse-Hotel.h17856858.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Reykjavik Saga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Reykjavik-Saga.h73411970.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Aska](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Aska.h95108570.Hotel-Information) > - [ Vintage Apartment Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-41-A-Townhouse-Hotel.h17086178.Hotel-Information) > - [Stay Apartments Einholt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Stay-Apartments-Einholt.h2041560.Hotel-Information) > - [Old Town Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Kastali-Guesthouse.h90537185.Hotel-Information) > - [Svala Apartments by Heimaleiga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Svala-Apartments.h27263415.Hotel-Information) > - [Hótel Múli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Muli.h14923586.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ---
