Forsæla Apartmenthouse

Reykjavik

My (now) wife and our families stayed at Forsaela Apartmenthouse for our wedding weekend and it was a fantastic experience. From the moment we set foot on the property until the minute we left, Hlín and Sigurgeir were the most gracious and attentive hosts!

To top it off, Forsaela is just steps away from shopping, dining and sight seeing within Reyjvaik. Seriously, the location is PERFECT - we felt like we knew our way around the city within a day of being here.

I would highly recommend Forsaela to anyone - weather you have a group or traveling solo - you will not be disappointed.

Thank you again Hlín and Sigurgeir! We will be back for sure!

Perfect Wedding Weekend

The small apartmenthouse was perfect in location for my 2 teenage kids and myself!  Having a regular parking place in Reykjavik was an absolute bonus as we were in easy walking distance to many restaurants, shops and picturesque icons. We had plenty of room to spread out and relax after our daily adventures. If we were too tired to go out to eat, we had a convenient kitchenette - very handy. The previous pictures submitted are accurate.  Hint - Brauð & Co. is about a 3 minute walk away. Consider getting a quick breakfast treat and maybe something for the road.  We probably went there too many times.

Hlin and Siggi were beyond gracious and accommodating.  They were able to provide insightful and well seasoned advice and recommendations.  If you have any questions about Reykjavik and/or Iceland, they are the ones to ask.

We are already thinking about our next visit to Iceland and would come back to Forsaela in a heartbeat.

Late March Visit 2019

Me and my family (wife and two children aged 8 and 6yrs) had a wonderful long weekend in Siggi and Hlin's place. From the welcome we received on our late night arrival to the 2-bed little house itself everything was great.

We didn't get into the property until around 0130 on Saturday morning and Siggi was there in order to welcome us with open arms. Very kind to wait up for us. From that point we didn't really need to rely on Hlin or Siggi for much tourism information as we knew what we wanted to do but they did confirm our plans were valid and added a couple of other things to do. 

The property itself is split across basement, ground and 1st floors and provided us with all the space we needed. We didn't use the TV but the wifi was excellent throughout. Maybe a microwave would have helped in the kitchen but to be honest the small cooker and the hob worked well for the 3 nights we were there. 

The beds were comfortable, maybe a smidgen thin but we certainly slept very well. Just beware, if sleeping downstairs you can hear all the movement upstairs. But, again, this presented very little problem as we were all shattered from all the exercise and the activity we were doing to notice.

The location is superb. It is right slap-bang in the middle of the town yet it was quiet and peaceful. It is a short 4-5 minute walk from Bus Stop 8 (the church at the top of the hill) from which most tours collect.

Expecting this accommodation to be a hotel is unfair - even the name should give you a clue. Expecting any accommodation in Iceland to be cheap is also unrealistic. We are definitely coming back. I almost didn't write a review as I don't want others to know about it so it would be easier for me to book again!

A great home from home

Really can’t say enough good things about Forsaela. Perfect location one block from the main shopping street in Reykjavik, but completely quiet at night. Free parking is available on site. 5 minutes or less to walk to 2 different delicious bakeries and a grocery.  Your hosts have been professional tour guides and are proud Icelanders who can give you great recommendations for things to do.

Cozy, welcoming and convenient

We were 6 friends who stayed in the Little House at Forsaela.  We had a great stay and th house met all our needs.  It's very cozy and historic.  We found it clean, comfortable and excellent value for money.  It was a bonus that there is a parking space for our rental car right next to thme house.  The owners were very helpful and responsive to our questions before we arrived.  As there are six single beds (3 in the attic and 3 in the basement) this is a great location for a group of friends.  The location is very central, and just a few minutes walk away from Reykjavik's main shops, restaurants and bars.  Highly recommend this property.
