Great value and location. No onsite reception, but communication was good. Would give 5 stars if TV worked and housekeeping made the beds.

We stayed in a Galtafell apartment for four days (Mar 1-4). Thorey, our host, was kind and responsive. The apartment was not large, but had all we needed - two bedrooms (can arrange 4 twin beds how you want), one bathroom, small kitchen, plus a small dining area. There is no oven, but we were fine with the small stove and provided pans. The beds were very comfortable, which we appreciated after long days exploring the beautiful country of Iceland. The location was great, as well. You can easily walk into the center of Reykjavik or up to Hallgrimskirkja (huge church). All in all, the four of us (all adults) enjoyed our stay!

All Flights cancelled. Galtafell to the rescue!
We had a layover in Keflavík on our way home from elsewhere. High wind speeds delayed and eventually cancelled all flights. Cue hundreds of passengers from multiple flights scrambling to book hotels at the same time. After lots of “sold out” on every website I eventually found Galtafell and am so glad we stayed there. Super clean and comfortable, and a short walk from everything so we were able to enjoy some time enjoying the city on this unplanned stay. When we have a proper trip to Iceland again we would definitely stay there. Thank you so much!
