It’s a clean, comfortable cozy room and a really convenient spot especially if you use the BSI bus station for anything. The owner was very accommodating and responsive.

We liked the location very much. The shower was amazing. We found parking near the hotel. The only thing is that we did not meet any staff member- the direction is posted at the front door.

Our checkin experience was seamless and personalized. The unit was very spacious and clean. The kitchenette was stocked and came in great handy. The parking might take a couple trips around the block if it's busy but they gave us a heads up. The location is just outside of the downtown core which was ideal for walking and felt appropriate for the price point.

The place was great, the location is really nice and free parking outside and near streets was a plus point. The only issue was the shampoo and shower gel, it was a broken non functional bottle and the smell was not good either. Else it was a great property to stay and will highly recommend anyone. You can easily walk around to get food and tons of great options around

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Guesthouse Galtafell! Our room was very comfortable and the location was great. We even ran in to a small issue getting in to our room and someone was able to come help us very quickly. Check-in was very easy and we would love to come again.

Cozy and very clean room, but small if you are big or have a lot of luggage. It was fine for two of us. Location is amazing! Just a few minutes to walk to all famous sites, beautiful pond with ducks and swans, local eateries, bus stops, and a downtown. The owner is nice and helpful. We had coffee and tea in the room. The price was reasonable. We would stay there again.

We had a little apartment with two bed-rooms. Everathing was very clean and the beds were very confortable. As we had a late arrival, the owner let us clear instructions but also offered to contact him (it was not necessary). We enjoyed our stay!
