Alba Guesthouse

The host was excellent with information and kindness - giving us a place to stay in a storm that delayed our flight from Akureyri for over 12 hours. We would never had been able to make our reserved house in Selfell. We got in pretty late, but was welcome with warm smiles

Very pleasant place to stay- old wooden house with the spirit of Iceland helpful host , simple and comfortable room, tasty breakfast, clean shared bathroom Bf from 7am, we left at 7, but at 6:45 everything was ready- we got hot pancakes with coffee

It is a very basic place. Great location, the center is a 15min walk. Room is basic, breakfast is basic, not so clean, but it is cheap in comparison to the others. And the hosts are nice. No issues, easy checkin-checkout. Parking is available.

For bus tours (Bus Travel Iceland/Bus hostel terminal) the accomodation is well located. Breakfast was varied and delicious. In the evening we even saw the aurora from outside the house. The hosts are very nice. Simple but great for shorter stays.

We recently spent 10 delightful days at Alba Guesthouse and were thoroughly impressed by the experience. Here's a summary of what made our stay so memorable: Great Value for Money: The guesthouse offered excellent value for the price, making it a fantastic choice for our extended stay. Fresh Breakfast: Each morning, we enjoyed a breakfast with always-fresh products. The pancakes were mine personal favorite! Comfortable Accommodations: Our room was cleaned daily, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful stay. Outstanding Hosts: The true highlight of Alba Guesthouse was the hosts. They were incredibly kind and attentive, addressing any issues promptly. When our flight was delayed, the host welcomed us at 3:00 a.m. without any fuss. Their warm hospitality made us feel truly valued and at home. Overall, the constant sense of being welcomed significantly enhanced our stay. We are grateful for the wonderful experience and look forward to returning to Alba Guesthouse on our next visit to Iceland.

This guest house offers great value for the price, with the added bonus of breakfast included - a rare perk in Reykjavik! While the city center is a bit of a distance away (10-12 minutes by bus), the convenient location of the bus hostel, just a 3-4 minute walk away, makes it easy to catch tours and airport transfers.
