The non staff emailed code entry to room was odd.
The non staff emailed code entry to room was odd. Place was an old apartment building turned to a hotel if that is what you want to call it.
Windows were boarded up.
No kettle in room shower had a squeagy to prevent water getting into main room.
Had a fire alarm in morning due to burnt toast but staff had no idea how to turn it off.

Olafsvik is the perfect "home base" for exploring...
Olafsvik is the perfect "home base" for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It is just a small fishing village, but has a grocery, several restaurants, an indoor pool, walking trails to a lovely waterfall, and of course, The North Star Hotel. There are also whale watching tours available.

As a base this is situated just right.
As a base this is situated just right. We left in the morning to go snowmobiling on Snæfellajøkul and came back in the afternoon in time for a swim in the pool.
We walked in a ravine, went down in the vulcanocave, walked on the black beach at Dritvik and had lunch in Arnastapi.

Pricey hostel but close proximity to Snæfellsjökull National Park and Kirkjufell snd Kirkjufell water falls. The lava fields in the surrounding area (between Hellnar and Stykkishólmur) are awesome. Spectacular coastline. But facilities in Ólafsvík are similar if not identical to what is available throughout the area. Undortunately, they're all Spartan and over-priced.

I can't give an accurate review because during the 48 hours we were there it stormed for the majority of it. Olafsvik is cute fishing town convenient to reach many picturesque places on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Even in the terrible storm the area is still very nice.

Olafsvik is the last major town on the Snaefellsnes...
Olafsvik is the last major town on the Snaefellsnes peninsula before the national park. It has a proper supermarket, some restaurants, and a great public swimming pool. The setting is very pretty with mountains and a large waterfall and lots of walking trails in and around town, but the town itself is quite drab. Stykkisholmur is much prettier.
“The continental breakfast was superb, yogurt, toast, fresh fruit and veggies, etc. Light, but way better than I was expecting from a typical hotel "breakfast included".”
“Oh, I think I've already filled out a survey, but will do again. Our host was so affable and helpful. This was our first night in Iceland; arrived @ 7a that morning, so we were tired pups! We were greeted warmly, given clear directions, felt very safe in our neighborhood ... thoroughly enjoyed our stay @ Olafsvik. Would stay at this apartment again.”
“In Iceland, "Guesthouse" means hostel. This was a hosts situated in the Ólafsvík harbor. I was fortunate to obtain one of two rooms with a private bathroom. Request it if you can. The rest of the facility consists of shared facilities, perhaps 2 to a room or more.”
