Located on Álftanes peninsula, this guest house offers cottage-style rooms with free WiFi , driftwood furniture and a flat-screen TV. Reykjavík city centre is 14 km away.

All rooms at Hlid Fisherman's Village provide tea/coffee amenities and sea views. Each room has a private bathroom with shower.

The superb location just by the sea. The ambience. The beautiful room ( though the attic could have been a little bigger...anyway I would not deduct any points for that). The place had all the vibes we were looking for. We had great time staying for 2 days and exploring the golden circle as well as the capital city.

At Travel Inn, guests can choose between rooms with private or shared bathrooms. Those with shared facilities have an in-room sink.

Hotel Travel Inn is 5 minutes’ walk from Nordic House Cultural Centre. Tour buses regularly depart from the nearby BSI Terminal.

It was such a convenient location! It was a 2 minute walk to BSI (it’s right across the street). Being able to be picked up from BSI for transfers and excursions was great and saved me a ton of money. We also did not need a taxi throughout our stay. We were a 10-15 minute walk from everything in City Center that we wanted to see.

This family-run guest house, 500 metres from Reykjavik Bus Terminal, is a 45-minute bus ride from Keflavik International Airport. It offers free in-room WiFi and access to a communal kitchen and dining room.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful location in Reykjavik, and I can't say enough good things about it. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the amazing staff member, Ingi, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The value for money at this place is exceptional. Not only did we find the accommodation to be affordable, but the amenities provided were excellent. The kitchen facilities were more than adequate, allowing us to cook our meals comfortably and saving us a significant amount of money in the otherwise expensive city of Reykjavik. The complimentary tea and coffee were a thoughtful touch, adding to the overall convenience and value of our stay. One of the standout features of this place was the welcoming atmosphere created by the staff. Ingi, in particular, made us feel right at home with his friendly demeanor and helpful attitude. He even went out of his way to accommodate our needs, allowing us to keep our luggage at the property until we were ready to pick it up later, which was incredibly convenient for us. Overall, I can't recommend this place highly enough. The combination of great value for money, comfortable amenities, and exceptional staff make it a standout choice for anyone visiting Reykjavik. Without a doubt, I would stay here again on my next visit. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

    We were here for the 3rd time, so that means we almost fall in love with this place. Surrounded by the ocean is absolutely breathtaking. You can walk around the village and relax. This is the great place to see the Aurora due to low city light around (and we saw that!). Hot tub is a big plus, only if you are in cottage where is this hottub, you hear people walking on the top of the roof, but hot tub is open only till 10pm, so for the night is calm and quiet.

    Fantastic host and breakfast (enough for later in the day). Great location to get on the road to see the sights or taxi into Reykjavik. Saw the Northern Lights from the picturesque backyard.

    We decided to stay a couple extra nights in Iceland to rest up before traveling home and booked Hlid Fisherman’s village because it is secluded and quiet. It was obviously a labor of love for someone, and it shows. It is a really quaint setup and very private, but we were close enough to drive to restaurants and shopping.

    Studio Apartment at Guesthouse Eyvindarholt, 225 Álftanes, near Reykjavik – in the foreground it looks towards the attractive Bessastadir, State Government Office where the President lives, Reykjavik is in the distance (20 minutes by car). The apartment is very well equipped and only missing 3 of my 16 criteria – a desk with a suitable chair and a freezer section in the fridge. Breakfast is included and consists of orange juice, yogurt, egg, fresh bread and jam, cheeses, cold meats, apple or other fruit, a slice of cake. A delightful host.

    Isolated place with a nice view on the sea, charming old style village A car is needed (though there is a bus stop not too far), it is far from any shop or other activity than enjoying quietness, nature and jacuzzi

    Wonderful stay in a great location, comfortable room and bedding. Staff was friendly and helpful, hot tub a great addition after a long day. Perfect for northern lights viewing, due to location in a quieter area yet still well connected with Reykjavik.

    What a gorgeous guesthouse! Everything was so clean and the host was so so friendly and welcoming. All of the little touches of decor really made the studio apartment welcoming and a great comfort after Afew days of hiking and being constantly on the go. The host even cooked us a beautiful breakfast each morning and delivered it to our door. Would highly recommend for those wanting to do abit around Reykjavik or flying out from Keflavik.
