Igdlo Guesthouse
Kitchen facilities very good. Great espresso machine, and system in place to share food that guests leave behind rather than let it go to waste.

Nordurey Guesthouse
Perfect place to spend a night or two as good location and comes with kitchen and laundry facilities. However check in can be a nightmare if your booking platform does not update you with check in instructions

Fosshotel Reykjavik
Our room had a nice view. It was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was pretty much the same every day, but plenty of selection. Matty at the front desk was very polite and friendly. Will definitely be staying there again when I return to Iceland with my girls.
