Við Hafið Guesthouse
Ólafsbraut 55, 355 Ólafsvík, Iceland – Great location - show map
dedicated parking spot for the hotel, fast Wi-Fi, friendly staff, easy to find and comfortable beds
CanadaEasy to find, beautiful bright common spaces with lots of room despite there being a lot of people to share with. The ambiance was very cooperative and everyone made it work.
FranceThe check in and out were quick. The lady who checked us in and out were very nice and friendly. The outside of the building does not look that pleasant but the inside looks very clean, roomy and modern. Overall good experience. There are washer and dryer in the shared area on the 2nd floor with small fee, but we didn’t use it.
United States of Americalocation was great. staff was very helpful, very spacious and comfortable in a private room with private bath.
United States of AmericaThe Guesthouse was easy to find, and had ample free parking. It was situated between two gas stations, with the harbor right behind. It's very clean, modern, and spacious inside. The bathrooms are shared, but they are large and there was never a problem. There is a washing machine if you arrive earlier. The rooms are spare, but clean. There is plenty of room in the kitchen and shared area.
United States of AmericaGreat location, clean modern facilities, large room and comfortable beds
United States of AmericaVery clean room. Clean bathroom. Nice size kitchen area. GREAT to have laundry facilities! TV area very cozy. Love having family rooms close to bathroom - smart! Staff were kind and attentive. Overall very good experience!
United States of Americaclean and bright inside, location easily accessible after visiting Snaefellsnes National park. staff very friendly and helpful, excellent view of ocean from kitchen.
United States of AmericaNice, neat property with friendly staff. In the private rooms with private baths you have your own entrance right off the car park. super convenient!
United States of AmericaRooms are basic, rather small but functional. Overall, the building looks initially rather sterile, but once inside, it is actually quite nicely decorated and the kitchen is well equipped. Also, the morning staff brings in some brewed coffee and milk - I think it was around 7:30 or 8am - which is really nice. There is plenty of free parking. Location is easy to find - but there is really not much around, and if you do self-catering, you might want to buy your supplies in a bigger place as there seems not to be much around. Overall, the room felt a bit overpriced for what is offered (internet is good, no TV (though there is one in the hallway), ie basically just beds, table 2 chairs in the rooms, and a little sink). Showers are shared and you better time if well as there was a queue.
