    I would rate it 11 out of 10 if I could. It's hands down the most memorable and atmospheric place we stayed at during the whole journey. Evening with live music from Max was truly amazing. Thank you!

    The Freezer is a hidden Gem on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula! For Icelandic standards, the price was incredibly affordable, especially considering the quality of the experience. The place was spotlessly clean, full of atmosphere and artistic charm,...

    Great spot and the aurora rooms are perfect for travelers that want a little more space. Great value and comfortable common areas.
