Beach. This property is either next to the beach or will have its own private access

Blondubyggd 10, 540 Blönduós, Iceland –

We stayed in a bedroom with private bathroom, and everything is OK. The kitchen is well equiped.

Filipa, Portugal

In August 2018 we (3 people) stayed one night in a 4-bed dorm. Administrator guy was so kind and haven't sold the last place in our room to someone, so we stayed only our team. The shared toilets and showers were clean and I never had any problems to find a free one. WiFi worked very well. We offered breakfast for additional fee, it was very nice and tasty, even pancakes and different kinds of cheesed were included. The kitchen was clean and equipped with everything we needed.

Olena, Czech Republic

The place has a great, quite location, just next to the beach. It was really clean and quiet. We especially enjoyed the dinning room area :)

Ela, Poland

Very uncomplicated transaction. Got a text where everything was explained. Nice place to crash in.

Thomas, Germany

Basic hostel, self check in, no staff present, all seemed clean enough

Thomas, United Kingdom

Clean and warm. All the essentials. Really peaceful vibe, pleasant guests. Close to the beach. Would stay again 😊

Alexandra, Australia

I got a free upgrade to Hotel Blanda, it was very clean and had everything I needed, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast did not look delicious so I went elsewhere. The view was amazing.

Louise, Iceland

Was upgraded to the Hotel Blanda at no additional cost. Rooms are clean. Free coffee and tea in the lobby.

Yuen, Hong Kong

The bed was super comfortable and we got a big room. The staff was amazing and extremely friendly.

Ronja, Norway

This is a hostel run by some staff from a nearby hotel. Facilities are shared and it's known, so no complaints here. The room was cozy and really basic. No disappointment. Location is in a remote area of the town, close to the bay, full of wild geese.
