We enjoyed our 2 night stay here.... The place was cozy, clean and a good value. In the heart of the city on a peaceful residential street. Only a five minutes walk to the harbor or the city center. The owner was welcoming and helpful, giving us advice and calling to arrange bus pick ups over the phone. The breakfast... More

Just around the corner from the old harbor, great tours and sites and convenient to shopping, dining and night-life. Krisjan was very accommodating. If he was out, he was accessible via cell-phone through the front-door intercom. He was also responsive to emails as we planned our trip. The price made this the best value in the neighborhood. I thought the... More

The Alfholl Guesthouse is in a great location. It's on a quiet street but is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The guesthouse is spotlessly clean. We stayed in one of the larger suites on the upper floor, had our own bathroom and balcony. The service from Christian was fabulous. Breakfast was great. We have wonderful memories of Reykjavik...

We spent 2 nights here and we were satisfied with the guesthouse. Our room was simple furnished had also a wash basin. Cleanless of the room and bathroom was OK. The owner is really nice and friendly. The breakfast is good and in the breakfast room you can chat with other people, it is really cosy and "just like at... More

We spent two nights at the Alfholl guesthouse and our experience there was excellent. We got there upon indications of another guesthouse owner. Almost all accomodations in Reykiavik seemed fully booked and we've been so lucky to find Alfholl! The owner offered us the last available room, which was actually a studio apartment, for a discount price (12000 ISK, 80... More

We stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of our 8 day trip to Iceland. It was super easy to get to (we took the FlyBus to the Hotel Metropolitan which is next door) and about a 5 minute walk from the heart of Reykjavik. We had one of the double rooms with a private bathroom. My one complaint... More

Great little guesthouse Alfholl (Elves' House), great owners, 5 minute walk to centre of town. obviously a strong decor theme based on Elves, but done in fun. Rooms were big and airy, beds were comfortable. We were fortunate to have the small apartment with views over the surrounding rooftops.

I stayed at the Alfholl twice in June 2009...on a Friday, and then the following Friday and Saturday. I lucked out, because we were upgraded to the Studio suites - these suites are "sweet". Private bathroom, useful kitchenette, and because they are on the top floor, you can not hear the opening and closing of doors throughout the house (damn... More

This is a very good place and has a great location, close to everything. The owner is present most of the time and the rooms we occupied had a balcony and a patio respectively. They were both v. quiet and clean and a good basic buffet breakfast was provided. Highly recommended.
