Our accomodation was comfortable if a little cold at times, and had amenities such as dishes, cutlery, cooking utensils, hairdryer, Wi-Fi etc.... More

This would be absolutely my first choice for a future visit in Reykjavic. The guesthouse is located in a lovely house, that looks like a Castle.

The Guesthouse Galtafell was a perfect choice for our first (but not last) visit to Reykjavik. The manager/proprietor, Thorey, was so helpful - she arranged for a tour for us to see the Northern Lights on our very first evening in town, and was always willing to help make arrangements at the drop of a hat throughout our 4-night stay....
