Facing the beachfront in Vatnsnes, Ósar Hostel has a shared lounge and a bar. The hostel also offers free WiFi and free private parking.

Guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All guest rooms at Ósar Hostel come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. The staff was super friendly and let us know that there was a walk we could take down to the beach. This was one of the highlights of our trip as we saw whales and seals down at the beach and could walk to the famous rock. The hostel was very cozy and we were able to do laundry and also cook a meal.
