Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Everything here is perfect. Location, 20 minutes from the famous Kirkjufell 10 minutes to the National Park. Next to N1 gas, Sker Restaurant, Vínbúðin, etc… Next to the black sand beach right on the seafront. Got there in a storm but the building is quiet. Rooms are new and comfy. Kitchen amazing. Shower hot. Hosts will give you tips and look up road conditions for you. They clean constantly. Views of the harbor and mountains!

United States of AmericaThe shared kitchen was a surprise and was very handy. There’s a supermarket nearby. We also liked the fact that Olavsvik was a working town/port, and not really a tourist town. Also very helpful and friendly manager.

Gistiheimilið býður uppá 2 - 4 manna herbergi og einnig 10 manna hostel herbergi við bjóðum uppá gott eldhús þar sem gestir okkar getað eldað sjálfir. Einnig bjóðum við uppá léttan morgunverð s.s Kornflakes, Cheerios, súrmjólk, musli, hrökkbrauð, sultur, kaffi og te og er það innifalið í verðinu. Við erum staðsett við aðalgötu bæjarins Ólafsbraut 55. Bílastæði fyrir gistiheimilið er sjávarmegin og þar er einnig inngangurinn á annari hæð. Útsýni yfir hafið er ótrúlega fallegt og á björtum degi getum við horft yfir á Vestfirði. Öll þjónusta er í göngufæri frá gistiheimilinu s.s upplýsingamiðstöð,veitingastaðir, verslun, apótek, sundlaug og fl. Ekki er hægt að nota eldavél þvottavél og þurkkara frá klukkan 22:00 á kvöldin til 8:00 á morgnana. Ekki er hægt að nota eldhús eða að elda eftir klukkan 21:00 á kvöldin
Ég og dætur mínar fjórar rekum gistiheimilið. Við höfum mjög gaman af því að taka á móti ferðamönnum og kynna fyrir þeim hvað bærinn okkar hefur uppá að bjóða og hversu mikið er hægt að gera og skoða á Snæfellsnesinu.
Ólafsvík býður uppá margar fallegar og skemmtilegar gönguleiðir í kringum bæinn og upp á fjöll, það er líka gaman að ganga um bæinn fara á bryggjurnar og svo mjög aðgengilegt að ganga upp að Bæjarfossinum. Á sumrin er hægt að fara í hvalaskoðun frá Ólafsvík. Við erum sérstaklega vel staðsett, til að skoða Snæfellsnesið, það er mjög stutt að fara í Þjóðgarðinn Snæfellsjökul þar sem fegurðin er engu lík og mjög margt og mikið hægt að skoða. Einnig er mjög stutt að keyra að Kirkjufelli og aðeins um 50 mínótur að keyra í Eyjasiglingar.
