“Alba Guesthouse feels like Reykjavik's best-kept secret, a place where the warmth of the owners and a superb breakfast spread-think homemade bread and fresh pancakes-make you feel instantly at home; plus, its location balances peacefulness with easy access to both the BSI terminal and city center. It's the kind of spot that makes a trip feel less like tourism and more like a genuine connection, a testament to Icelandic hospitality at its finest. I would definitely stay again.”
