The family was extremely nice and helpful. They took care of all our needs, helped to rent a car or arrange a trip to Blue Lagoon in five... More

First of all, why choose a rental apartment, instead of a hotel, you might ask. Well, everything is quite expensive in Iceland; for example, a simple soup is around US$12! Therefore, it is nice to have a kitchen of your own, should you decide to cook and eat in. In addition, you could enjoy much more space in an apartment... More

We had a great time in Iceland and although the country is quite expensive generally, the Forsaela apartments was a real find in Reykjavik. Very comfortable, cosy and central for shopping and tours with very friendly and helpful hosts Hlin & Siggi. We had intended staying there for 3 nights before travelling around Iceland but decided to stay there for... More

We stayed 4 nights in this lovely apartment which is perfectly situated for exploring downtown Reykjavik, the main shopping streets, the church and old harbour. The flybus from the airport will transfer to the apartments and tour companies in Reykjavik will pick you up and return you for any excursions you chose to do. The apartment had 1 bedroom and...

Foreaela Apartmenthouse is simply a great place in Reykjavik to use as a base for seeing the town and exploring the surrounds. Neat, tidy, clean and convenient. With a little kitchenette and only a few minutes walk from a local supermarket it allowed casual options for eating - something to consider if you don't like eating out for every meal.... More
