Overall Ratings & Reviews Alba Guesthouse

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!

Breakfast was fantastic. The help arranging a taxi to pick up our car was very much appreciated. Couldn't ask for better service and such great host. Would stay there again.

The family that runs this guesthouse is kind and accommodating. Excellent and simple breakfast, clean rooms and very convinient for catching a bus to the airport.

Wonderful experience. Clean, comfortable, and excellent breakfast

Great host and nice room. 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 :)

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.

Excellent- perfect for me!

The vacation home is comfortable and well organized. The rooms are clean. Owner offers good breakfast. The area is quite

Thorsteinn was a great host. The room was small by American standards but clean. The shared bath was clean and functional. Breakfast featured a wide variety of cereal, pancakes, meat, fruit and juices. And lastly, the espresso machine was tops.

Very nice place to stay. 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.

Older building, clean room.

A pleasant couple to stay with the room was adequate didn’t have anything spectacular but had what I needed. I stayed here by myself while training at a nearby MMA gym on a week long training camp and I was able to get enough rest to be able to complete that comfortably.

Great breakfast . Room could do with some desk or shelf to put stuff , hangers for the towel

Don't drink the water in your bedroom. There was a glass on the counter so I assumed it was safe drinking water. I ended up getting arsenic poisoning due to the amount of Sulphur in the water. Lots of blood to paint a picture.

Basic

It was a close walk to the center of the city, host was very good about giving instructions on how to get to town. We had a shared bathroom, there was also an extra shower so if someone was using the toilet you could still shower. The room had a sink so you could wash your face and brush your teeth. Blackout curtains were OK, still let a lot of light in which can be an issue during the summer. Breakfast was fantastic!!

Cute nice affordable parking available with some extra touches including a delicious and filling breakfast. Right behind the art museum and close to good stuff including a bus line. Excellent value - would stay again

Room on the 2nd floor with only 1 bathroom + 2 showers; a second WC would have been a good addition. Good localisation.

I was stuck in Iceland for a layover and booked a room here. It was 6 degrees and raining heavily, while I was dressed for California. I was soaked to the bone at the door, but the host didn't want to let me in, because it was not check-in time yet. So there I am wandering all over Reykjavik waiting for 3pm. I caught a horrible cold and a bad fever a few days later. I can't say that the host is unfriendly. He just really doesn't give a crap about the well being of his guests.

Great experience. Had a late check in. They were very accommodating. If back in Iceland it will be the place I stay. Great service and welcoming people running it.
