All good ;) but the town is missing a café that opens early for breakfast guests.

Very friendly and helpful host, good value for money. Quiet at night, enough shared bathroom facilities, clean. Nice atmosphere in this old house, felt a bit like a museum!

A bit awful fish smells outside when we arrived , it was rainy but ofcourse its not owners fault. But good to know if you are travelling with someone who has fish allergies :) same as my son. He is so sensitive from fish. Even smell

Friendly , good stop over, spacious beds with pair price for family

The host is very sweet and welcoming. The house is in a great location, just a five-minute walk to the whale watching center. The decor has a charming, vintage feel, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. We loved the café on the corner, where the fresh fish soup and bread were some of the best we've ever had. Next door is a century-old cinema with a vintage projector. Everything was wonderful. Highly recommend!

We loved our 2 nights here! Bjarni is a fantastic host, and we really enjoyed the fish soup and homemade beer bread (and dessert) at his cafe down the street. The shared areas were kept very clean, and the shower had great water pressure. The kitchen area was well-equipped, spacious, and had several tables and places to sit. The hostel has lots of antique furnishings that added to the warmth of the place. Our room was spacious and had a desk and a large, beautiful hutch of sorts. The beds were very comfortable. Dalvik is a small town, so you don't have to walk very far to get to the cafe, library, (where my dad bought a used book), grocery store, etc. The swimming pool was wonderful, too! We spent one day taking the ferry to and from Grimsey, and we only had to walk across the street and down the stairs by the restaurant to get to the ferry. Thank you for a great stay and all of your help and communication prior to our arrival! I would love to return!

Leaving!

Bjarni was an excellent host. He went out of his way to help and made us feel very welcome and this definitely added an extra element to our trip. We were in Dalvik to ski tour and the hostel was perfectly situated for that purpose. It was within walking distance from the supermarket and the excellent Cafe Gisli. The other people in the hostel were also great and we got to know them all quite well during the week. Dalvik is just beautiful and getting up in the morning and going into the kitchen and being greeted with an incredible view across the Fjord was something else! We will definitely be back.

A bedside light would be great.

Lovely old building with lots of quirky bits and pieces and antique furniture. Atmospheric. We met interesting people. The owners are very welcoming

Could have been a bit more economical, but then it is iceland!

Location is perfect..very close from the bus drop off and right in front of ferry stop to grimsey. Opposite a busy restaurant .the toiletries were of excellent quality and brand..was actually surprised

Not to complain, as there are full time residents, the bigger communal kitchen doesn’t fit, as residents are cooking full on meals, using multiple cooking and prep surfaces, so you really left confused as can I use this pan? The coffee? The plates?

When you step in it is like back 50years, with decor, actual beds, bed setups, kitchen, you name it, even the keys. Although not a retro fan, this is not retro. I stayed here as I needed a place to sleep before catching the ferry to Grimsey Island. I got a room upgrade I think, lol. Was contacted hours before expected arrival, just to clear arrival procedures. I would recommend to other travellers, it’s clean, good water pressure, Ease of access, no pets, and no issues.

Having to leave such a cute wee town.

The property was amazing. Location and people. Felt right at home from the start. Very helpful owner and extremely nice. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The walls are paper thin, so if many people are opening/closing doors in the night you will hear them. This is the only thing I didn't like.

The staff and owner were so lovely. The kitchen upstairs is fully stocked and there is a nice seating area to have your meal. The showers seem quite new and have good water pressure. The rooms are cute and cozy. Very convenient location to catch the ferry to Grimsey.

As some stupid Americans, I locked myself out. The owner comes in to save me in 2 minutes.

Love the location. The owner is super pleasant to talk to. It comes with a nice kitchen and surprisingly spacious bathrooms. He also owns the best bakery shop in town with a fun theatre. I ate the best cheesecake ever there.
