Situated in Akranes and only 43 km from The Pearl, Móar guesthouse features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With mountain views, this accommodation offers a balcony.

It’s a really nice house with a great view of mountains. The house was kept clean every day so even with 8 people moving around, the common spaces were nicely taken care of. Also, the kitchen was better equipped than we expected so we were able to cook our food quite easily, which saved us a lot of money. The directions to the house were very simple and easy to find. The owners even provided some tips on places to go in the area. The house also has plenty flyers and travel guides to help you plan your day.

Situated in Reykjavík, 5.4 km from Hallgrímskirkja Church, Grótta Northern Lights - Apartment & Rooms offers beachfront accommodation and various facilities, such as a garden.

We had tried the "Blue House" at the beginning of our travel, which also belongs to the host, so we suspected what awaited us. Place a little less warm than the Blue House but very good to spend a night. Well located enough to relax at the city's Sky Lagoon. Thank you very much ! Justine & Paul

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.

Amazing location, the view is incredible and elevated the whole journey for us. We felt safe as standard lovely people were around and a sweet black-white cat. Great sleep, memorable spot.

Situated in Reykjavik’s old city centre, this family-run property is across the street from Hallgrim’s Church. It offers a communal kitchen, as well as modern and fresh rooms with wooden furnishings.

A top location guesthouse/hotel in the centre of Reykjavik. Clean, cozy and icelandic hospitality is everywhere!! The beds could have been more comfortable but it is not a major setback. Breakfast was rather basic but enough to keep you going. In spite of the two min points I would still suggest this place.

Set in a building dating back to 1916, this Reykjavík guest house is within 5 minutes’ walk of the popular Laugavegur shopping street. Both WiFi and private, on-site parking are free.

Great location with ample parking (on the road). Easy walk to the main town, and a really nice walk to the nearby pond/lake. Lovely shower and the bath was a treat!. A sofa would have been nice, as my girlfriend and I would have liked to have sat down together at the end of each day. But that's trivial. All in all, a great location.

Just off the Laugavegur shopping street, Grettir Guesthouse features self-service check-in. This property is a 5-minute walk from Hallgrimskirkja Church. Free WiFi is available.

Grettir Guesthouse is in a great location near the old town and shopping street. The beds were comfortable and our attic room was a good size and nicely decorated. It is a traditional type corrugated iron house which has been split into two areas to stay in. We stayed in the upper section which had 5 rooms (two of these rooms are upstairs in attic area - which can be tricky if you wanted to access toilet at night). The kitchen / dining area is small, seating only 4 people. The kitchen does not have a stovetop or oven but there is a microwave. The one combined shower/ toilet is shared between all rooms. There is no parking available but you can temporarily park at park of house to remove luggage from car and then park car on street a few blocks away ( out of P paid area) or else pay for parking.

    The hosts were wonderful and so helpful and friendly. They encouraged me to do some of the activities in town (like the Oceanside hot baths). It was an experience I might have skipped and it was just wonderful. The house is quiet and super clean and comfy. But the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts really made it a special stay. Thank you

    Fully equipped home away from home. Heaps of room. Warm and welcoming. Info on local attractions. Friendly hosts. We were only at the start of our trip so didn't need to use the excellently appointed laundry washers and dryers. Appliances generally all very modern. The location was very quiet, no traffic or neighbour noise.

    Small guesthouse - only 2 rooms, so even though the bathroom is shared, it's clean and cozy. The owners are wonderful, very nice, polite, introduced everything well, even prepared bed and toys for the baby. There was a cozy kitchen with a basket of food for breakfast to be shared with the other room. Very quiet. The area is lovely too to walk around to the lighthouse.

    Hosts has been extremely friendly and helpful. The place is spotless, and the kitchen was very well equipped. We could also use the washing machine and drier. The guesthouse has two rooms, a double and a tween bed and a very cosy living room. We enjoyed every minute and were very sad not staying longer. It was one of the best guesthouses we saw in Iceland.

    This was a great location for a short weekend- not a bad drive from Keflavik, close to Reykjavik with much more peacefulness, access the Snaefellnes Peninsula is ideal from here. Groceries and petrol in town. The property has plenty of parking for guests, the hosts were very accommodating and let us check in a bit early. Wonderful little kitchen set up and comfortable space for two for a weekend. We appreciated the blackout shades for the midnight sun.
