Lovely small guesthouse that has everything you need for a comfy overnight stay. Rooms are simple but clean, there is a big kitchen downstairs where you can cook dinner and nice breakfast is served in a cozy cafe that is part of the guesthouse.

Great location with food stands across the street and a stroll to a beautiful lookout point. With unique, antique furniture and a rustic feel to the guesthouse, it was comfortable and the parking is just next to the guesthouse. It was a clean, comfortable guesthouse with a full kitchen in a very charming seaside town! Had a lovely stay.

The curtains didn't block the light completely. Needed an eye mask for sleep. Just something to be aware of. 🙂

Nice room with a queen size bed and bunk beds to sleep two more. Clean shared bathroom with shower facilities downstairs. Nice kitchen and dining room downstairs. There is even a washing machine in the kitchen to do laundry! Overlooks the harbor, beautiful views from the bedroom window. Fix your own meals or restaurant options right around the corner. Great breakfast provided in the morning from 0800 to 0900. Friendly and helpful host. Self check in was easy with door codes provided and plenty of free parking either in back or in the parking lot across the street. Great base to explore the Snæfellsnes peninsula. A very charming place to stay.

Loved the location and the style of decoration the most. It was clean but had such good character ! And an amazing coffee shop downstairs which is delicious and cozy.

Other than my partner commenting on an unknown smell, nothing in particular.

Our room was located at the 1st floor (basement). In terms of sleeping comfort and quietness - all good. Liked the location - near the docks. If the weather allows, please check out the island with the lighthouse. Used the kitchen for some meal prep. Liked that they had a coffee (moka) maker. Liked that they have a shelf for free food that other travelers/staff have left for taking. Liked the showers. Had some shampoo, hairdryer and baskets for used towels. Good enough Wi-Fi for a Teams call. Automatic doors can opened from a mobile app. Thus less likely to get locked out your room. Free parking in the front.

For some reason we didn't receive a PIN to enter the property or our room & the guesthouse was unstaffed when we arrived. But as we booked through Bookings website that may be their fault, not the fault of the guesthouse. But a quick phone call to the number on their website & it was sorted out by the friendly, helpful staff.

The room was quiet & the beds were warm & comfortable. The kitchen facilities were great & the bathrooms were clean with plenty of stalls. The staff we spoke to were very friendly & helpful, too, & the location of the guesthouse was great.

Fun and funky vibe with a lot of interesting decor. Convenient location by the harbor with plenty of parking, cozy room and a very clean shared bathroom and kitchen. We never saw staff but the self check in process was easy.

N/a - everything was great!

Loved the atmosphere, so much charm! The common areas were wonderfully located with comfy chairs, tables, couches, lamps, art, local interesting items, the location of Sjávarborg by the harbour and walk to the island was perfect! Dinner at restaurant across the street - perfect! A short walk to the local pool. Really could not have asked for a better stay!

The location is fabulous

The mattress was pretty hard and there could have been more plugs in the family room (only near one bed and we had 5 ppl).

The place is decorated well to provide everyone with a cozy atmosphere. All facilities are in good and clean condition. The kitchen is well equipped and the place has lounge areas in mutiple levels. Toilets are in every level, three showers in both the women's and men's side + plenty of hot water! Near the hostel is a delicious restaurant Skúrinn, where the staff was super helpful with food restrictions. I would definitely stay again.

Excellent place. I called it the ghost hostal (this is good! lol) because I received a message prior to my arrival with all instructions. They have parking but also there's a larger public parking right up front. We arrived, parked, used the pin code to get in the hostal and our room. Made ourselves at home, never saw any staff. The place is SO cozy, I love it. Its also right by the docks and walking distance to all restaurants and the bar (yes, there's only one haha).

Stayed in November 2023

Self check-in so nobody at the reception (but probably because it is low season). Also lacking some basic stuff in the kitchen (like oil for cooking).

Very nice decoration, very cosy and comfy, and well situated by the port.

The room is very small so this place is good if you're just sleeping for the night but if you're spending much time in the room or have a lot of luggage you may want something bigger. There's no real staff so if you want or need assistance on hand from staff then you may want elsewhere.

Great location. Hot and great showers, large common room, kitchen and public area. The breakfast looked good and proper and tasty coffee (not the standard filter coffee iceland seems to have a lot).

the hotel rooms are very small but we did not expect it to be more than that. The place have dining room and kitchen downstairs which we used for family outstanding dinner! there is big supermarket nearby open from 1000-2000 and the kitchen is well equipped. (the only problem was that you need to wait for others to finish cooking or cook together. we used the washing machine as well for our laundry. the showers and toilet are public but quite clean and close to your rooms. in general, it was one of our best evenings in Iceland...!

They need a bench in the showering facility to put your dry clothes on.

Loved the contactless key-code entrance and the location was better than expected - on the cutest harbor in the whole world. Bathrooms on each floor, and showering room and shared kitchen downstairs was great. Everything was wonderful!

There wasn’t anything to dislike.

Loved the location and the view from our room #10. We cooked our own dinner in the kitchen and were able to relax in the dining/lounge area. Beds were comfortable and we didn’t have to wait for a shower in the shared bathroom. The electronic keyless door system works well.
