What guests think

Across many reviews, travellers praise Kirkjufell Guesthouse and Apartments for spotless, comfortable rooms and apartments with striking Kirkjufell views, convenient self check in, and well equipped kitchens that make self catering easy while staying a short drive from town.

Guests like the quiet, scenic setting for aurora watching and the ample parking and laundry, though the communal layout beside shared kitchens can lead to noise and light at times, and staff presence is limited outside short hours. Rooms range from spacious, modern units with floor-to-ceiling windows to simpler, smaller ones; a few mention hard beds, warm temperatures, or views facing the parking lot instead of the mountain. Expect a self-catering stay with standout views and a low-frills vibe.

This place was spotless. It is a few kilometers out of town but only a kilometer from a walk to a water fall. The main building has all the rooms off of the common areas which can be great for groups. The kitchen has everything from a coffee machine to an oven. Most of the furnishings are from IKEA making things feel familiar. They have fresh coffee and coffee pods. There is ample parking and if you don’t want to cook it is an easy drive into town where there are a couple of restaurants. I would stay here again.

Alle 8 viene inoltre portato il caffè caldo. Camera piccolina al primo piano, pulita, con una bella vista sul monte Kirkiufell. Parcheggio privato davanti alla struttura. Wi-Fi funzionante in tutta la struttura. Per arrivi oltre l’orario del check-in viene lasciato un biglietto con il proprio nome sulla porta della reception con nome dell’edificio e della camera e la chiave viene lasciata all’ingresso dell’edificio sul mobiletto dove ci si deve togliere le scarpe come in tutte le guesthouse e case islandesi.

Comfortable stay, equipped with what I needed. Clean and spacious private room and bathroom, comfortable heating (and heated towel rack!), Netflix. Shared kitchen cleaned daily and other guests were respectful of the area. Laundry and plenty of parking space is available. Max. 5min drive into the main town for a restaurant, a supermarket, and petrol station. Views of Kirkjufell right outside the building.

The light fixture in the kitchen needs to be cleaned out a flies. The key doors are very difficult to unlock and unlock. The bathroom doors do not lock which is not safe. It was nice having tea and coffee available and we were attended to quickly when we first arrived. We felt that overall the place felt a little tired.

Everything was perfect. We stayed in unit #6 on the 2nd floor, which is a private standalone house. The interior was spotless—the bedroom, living room, and bathroom were incredibly clean. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was the breathtaking view of the backside of Kirkjufell right from our window. Despite the heavy wind and rain upon arrival, the host was exceptionally kind and helpful. It's also very close to town. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting the area!

This was a weird property and you could hear every time someone in another room was doing something. Shower was extremely uncomfortable and not that clean. It was in the middle of nowhere if you want to see the northern lights and they shut all the lights off. Staff member was nice but didn’t really feel safe.

Beautiful, spacious room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of Kirkjufell with 2 gazing chairs. The window shades did not completely cover the long daylight, but we managed and the room made up for that. There were several loud groups who arrived into the evening, making it a noisy environment until 10 pm on the night we were there, and the same was true in the morning, since one of those groups took over the kitchen. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

Very clean and a decent amount of space. Pretty location, but not all rooms have views. Most face a parking lot. Beds were hard and linens scratchy. We stayed in the Kirkjufell guesthouse. There were 5 bedrooms with a shared kitchen/eating area. Most of the other guests were quiet in the morning but you need to prepare for this common cooking space - most people were making their own breakfast right outside our room. The property was clean and adequate - we were just passing through. But I wasn’t prepared for the shared cooking/eating/lounge area.

This property was beautiful and scenic! You look right out at Kirkjufell and can see multiple stunning waterfalls from the property. The room was huge with two bedrooms, a living room/kitchen and a big bathroom. The only thing is the room was hot! When we got there the heat was turned high (in August) and we weren’t able to cool it down enough to make sleeping comfortable. I would recommend this guesthouse- I think the heat situation was maybe just an unfortunate mistake.

We checked in late and I was expecting to enjoy the view of the mountain in the morning. But when we arrived, we were informed that the pavers are coming in the morning so it’s either we leave early or leave late. I wish there’s a way to post pictures because it was right outside my door. Big truck and smelly asphalt. I wished I was informed ahead of time. The staff was either unfriendly or just overworked. I don’t want to judge people I don’t know, but it would be nice to have a warm welcoming voice. Lastly, they need a new dryer. It took me two hours to dry our clothes.
