Beautiful location on a ford, excellent facilities

Sheiletta80 Italy

Such a great idea to convert a former bank (with a voult) into a hostel. The place is fenomenal, the owner really helpful, everything went smooth and hassle free. And for the cherry on the cake, we cought an unforgettable sunset. Highly recommended!

Klemen Slovenia

The property is extremely well maintained and equipped. Everything was super clean and tidy. Views cannot be matched as well as the location (you are basically experiencing the slow life of a small fjord, but also super close to a city with all the services). Everything was amazing! The communication with the owner was quick and efficient. Thank you so much for making our stay so special!

María Argentina

One of the most scenic, beautiful views from the window.

Julia Ireland

The apartment is really huge. When I entered in for the first time, I thought we will share the space with others and I was looking for the room no. 3 :) The kitchen had everything we needed, especially the oven we could make pizza :) We could choose to watch movies as it was a big collection there. We could play table foosball; it was fun.

Iulian Romania

Kitchen fully comfortable, we had all we needed while preparing evening and morning meals. Bathroom clean and cosy, a place like home! Amazing views through as many windows as it is possible. Breathtaking view from the window in the morning. :)

Krzysztof Poland

Location is stunning. A nice alternative to Ísafjörður. The guesthouse is basic but clean and nice with all the facilities you need, especially the kitchen, good shower and very quiet. It has a separate living room with comfortable lounges and tv. Separate dining room and a table in the kitchen also. Two bathrooms, one with a bath. Good WiFi and outlets available in the room. It was easy to find and there was plenty of parking.

Lyuknoz United Kingdom

Nice appartment in tipical Iceland style. The staff Washington very helpful and nice person!

Domenico Italy

My room was quite big with nice view, also kitchen and common room very spacious.

Susanne Austria

The hostel is located in a small town in a somewhat remote part of the Westfjords - so in other words peace and quiet is in abundance. The whole place is quite big and from what I understand is separated in to two larger areas, each containing a couple of rooms, 1 or 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a common room with a dinning table. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and other usefull items. The bathroom is clean and spacious.
