A very nice, helpful and friendly host. Location was quiet as I wanted, so a big plus for that. Location is close to the city center but some how not in a crowded area.

Room was very small and cramped(maybe real estate in the city is expensive). Storage could not be accessed. There was no mention of stairs while booking which was a drudgery with a sprained ankle. Breakfast was disappointing. Cereal was absent the second day and seemed like yesterday's leftover's were at the table the next day.

Owners were a nice couple. They never got in your way but were always there if you needed help or information. Very kind and helpful. Seemed like the only home amidst a jungle of apartments. Place needs sprucing and seems like they are on it.

Water smells like sulfur.

Good if you're on a budget.

Only one thing to improve: my window was broken on one side, so didnt fully close , thats why i had to put the curtains into the open space so I wouldnt get the wind into my face at night :) Room was still warm though!

I stayed in Alba Guesthouse for 4 nights and can recommend it. You will not get a luxury room/house, but you will get a very good price, lovely breakfast with fresh Pancakes and homemade bread, a place close to Downtown and a friendly woman-host. There is a coffee/tea station and a fridge for everyone to use, the place is clean, bed is comfortable and rooms have everything you need for a few days stay.

Good price for Reykjavik, not too far from the city or busstation, cozy room and good bed, nice view to Perlan. Breakfast with some variety, constantly being refilled.

The rooms were very small with very less space to walk around inside..!!

It was near to centre and spaces were quite clean..!

The space of the room, its cramped, kind of noisy with traffic, use earplugs if ur a lightsleeper. You have ur own sink and a small wardrobe, small bed 1.60m by 2m for 2 people Walls are thin so u hear everything (again, better use earplugs). Its basicly just a place to sleep and u are mostly very tired of the full day activities, so that helps a lot to sleep through all noises.

The location was perfect as the "bus terminal" is really close by like 5 mins walk or less and that's the common pickup point for most activities, so that really helps a lot and saves money with taxi's etc. The breakfast was good, nice fresh bread, good coffeemachine, fruit, cookies and water as well. That we could walk in the guesthouse whenever we wanted, the key of your room is a masterkey so you can open the front door as well.

There are two bathrooms, which is nice, but sadly only one toilet as far as we saw. For sharing with approx. 6 rooms you might find the door locked quite often.

My friend and I booked a room in Alba Guesthouse for 2 nights. The room was nice and clean, the host is very friendly. The breakfast was also good! There is space outside to park your car. For our short stay it was great, would definitely recommend.

Water is a little bit smell like spring water

Nice breakfast, nice hosts. We couldn’t reached out to our hotel near airport due to eruption, but they were so kind and warm and helped us a lot even it was after checking out. Thanks to them, we could survived.

Nice location, but a bit cold in the bathroom. Of course I can understand that's for the ventilation

The difficulty is that guests may not realise that this is somewhere in between a hostel and bnb, a guesthouse. It is someone's house, so there is an exception of the property and rules to be respected. The owner may come across quite strict in holding those boundaries, but he can meet in the middle when he feels the guests are respecting his home, himself and his rules. We worried we would upset him too but he ended up enjoying our company and helped us. Be mindful that it is someone's home and you'll have a great time.

This guesthouse has a very homey, community, vibe. The breakfast was simple but delicious, and abundant in such that there was a variety of healthy options. Boiled eggs, selection of cheese and meats, cereals, delicious homemade pancakes with syrup and spreads (hazelnut one better than Nutella!). The surroundings were fairly clean and acceptable and they were somewhat accommodating. The beds were comfortable and warm. My friends and I loved our stay here and would stay again.

We had a 4 year old kid and room only had 2 blankets. We asked the owner if he can provide one more and he said because kids stay free therefore he can't help with another blanket because of the cost of washing it afterwards. What??? If he stays free this doesn't mean he shouldn't benefit of the facilities we paid for. We've been in over 60 countries and never ever heard such thing. Also after this Guesthouse we stayed in 4 more in Iceland and this didn't happen. Finally the next day he provided us with a blanket and told us we should be grateful now. Unbelievable behavior and a quite cold person. Luckily this was the only stay in Iceland we had issues.

Nice breakfast, room and toilet ok for the money.
