Convenient location on the harbour beside the Museum of sorcery and across from an excellent restaurant! Room was clean but small and window was only a few paces from the street sidewalk. Bathroom was modern and clean. Breakfast was standard, but plentiful. Small nuisance was that we had to phone the manager to come and check us in.

I woke up to a flat tire. Having a hard time with the rental company about getting it replaced the owner called up a friend next thing I know someone was coming up to fix my flat tire for me. It really made my day. I didn’t have to argue with rental car companies and they could take care of it for me. It was very nice and appreciated.

The property was quaint overlooking beautiful scenery and ocean. The room was very tight and there was limited breakfast options, especially for vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free people. There was a shared bathroom. Given the remoteness of the location, the accommodation was comfortable.

There are basically two hotels in this village. My room (shared bath) was very small with two twin beds: I had to place my suitcase on the other bed. The shower was in a separate room, but I would have preferred having a shower mat ... I wore my flipflops. The breakfast was good, typical fare (hard boiled eggs, cereal, bread/jam/ham/cheese) but no vegetables (tomato or cucumber). I appreciated the coffee/tea being available until midnight, and the outdoor patio off the breakfast area was enjoyable. Perfectly acceptable for a one-night stay.

Quaint guesthouse in a small town. Great homebase for further exploration of Westfjords. Hosts were friendly. We really liked the breakfast service, and lunch (from their bistro at extra cost) was the best homestyle Icelandic food that we had during our trip. The rooms are very clean, although they are small. Shared WC and shower facilities were also clean.

Tiny little rooms with everything you need. Separate toilet/shower room so you don’t have to wait. Had a little restaurant area where you got free breakfast and could buy some lamb or fish soup for dinner (if you don’t arrive before they close, there’s another little restaurant across the street)

Just what we needed

A nice little place with a decent breakfast. The shower, like all we found in Iceland, was small. The breakfast is up a, flight of steps (not a problem for us, just an FYI) this place worked well as a base for exploration.

This guest house was one of the most affordable and one of the nicest places we stayed in Iceland. It was extremely clean and well-maintained, with additional touches and detail that showed the owners really cared. The staff were organized, informative and friendly. It offered a lovely complimentary breakfast with coffee, tea, juice, bread, meats and cheeses, cereal, porridge, eggs etc. It also offered lunch and dinner for a fee and was also conveniently close to other restaurants (one right across the street) as well as some local sights. We went whale watching with Láki Tours and the port was only a short 2 min walk away, in view of the guest house. It is the absolute perfect place to stay in Hólmavík I could not recommend it more!

Nice quaint location. Breakfast was ok. Fyi: when checking in, park in the back of the building. We tried checking in just walking up but no one was around and no one answered our calls. When we drove up and parked, host came out.

This was typical of a guesthouse in Iceland. The room was very basic. What I didn't like was that there were insufficient parking spots next to the building, but mostly that the bathroom was minuscule. The sink was so small, that any attempt to wash one's face resulted in water all over the floor. The toilet was so close to the tiny sink, that you had to sit on it at an angle. I can't imagine a large person using that bathroom.

Conveniently located, surprisingly quiet as there is a restaurant on the rooftop. I did not think this accommodation was worth the value. No hotpot nor mini fridge which was provided at other locations at similar price range. Breakfast was included, but it was not very good. The layout of the limited selection of food in the corner area of the restaurant made it hard for guest to get to. The coffee was really bad.

Could do a lot better

This is a good value accommodation, basic but with a good bed and shower which is what matters most to us. However we left with a negative vibe towards it. They advertise as having a bistro which would provide us with an evening meal or so we thought. What was on offer was either a meat soup or a fish stew, both small portions and microwaveable - or some cake. The price of 3500 IsK for either was just ridiculous. I had a good quality burger and fries in a good restaurant the day after for less than that. I am not aware of anywhere else to stay in town so pay a visit to the supermaket for your food.

Superlative in a few ways- The most expensive place I stayed in Iceland over our 3 week visit. The place with the smallest bathroom in Iceland. Also the beds had the smallest pillows I've ever experienced.

Guesthouse was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had a stovetop, fridge, and microwave, as well as an electric kettle. There was salt and pepper provided, as well as many pots and pans. Bring your own oil.

My only complaint was that the water smelled sulfuric, and I was not sure if it was safe to drink so I brought bottled water.
