Clean, cozy and quaint. Very walkable right in town.

Marybeth United States of America

The room was not big, but nice. The bed was very comfortable and the WiFi connection stable. The common area was clean and spacious. The kitchen is well suited for cooking, they also have some games and books, as well as a piano and a little cafe. The bathroom had separate shower cabins. They were very nice and helpfull, offering advice, also on travel conditions. The location is great for exploring the Snaefellsness peninsula.

Sabine Germany

It was right by the water and a little hike to a lighthouse. The place has a lot of character inside and felt very cozy. The smells from the cafe were great. There was plenty of parking.

Jessica United States of America

Perfect location. Very nice and easy check-in. Love the cafe decor and coziness. Lovely breakfast

Klara United States of America

Location was excellent. Staff was so friendly and breakfast was delicious. Place was cozy and room was spacious. Wonderful stay.

Crystal United States of America

Very friendly staff, well located, clean, good value for Iceland

Charles Canada

The hostess was quite helpful to provide useful information on eating and sight-seeing in the surrounding area. The location is just one step from the harbor, which is important for travelers to take ferries. The hostel is decorated with many old furniture and carpets, which makes a nostalgia atmosphere for old days.

Ardenous United States of America

Communication with the guesthouse was great! The manager had to move me to another property due to an overbooking at Sjávarborg but everything went seamlessly to me (and I got a room with my own bathroom) and she was able to accommodate my late arrival. Thank you!

John United States of America
