Jeanine
Thank you for such a pleasant stay.
Brendan
Yeah not a great experience. No staff after we checked in and another guests key was just left on the front desk??? Strange. A cot was left in the room.(which was already small). Bathroom was recently redone but the rest of the room was very dated. No elevator for anyone that can’t handle stairs. TV had a warning up about some weird charge. Glad I was only there for a night.
Sara
Beautiful guest house. Large room with view of a volcano and most comfortable bed of my entire stay in Iceland. Modern bathroom. Very convenient to ferry. Easy parking. Very nice but not bougie just how I like it!
LYNN
Great stay
Enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in was simple, and the staff was very kind. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. I'd stay here again.

One night sleep near a volcano
One quick overnight stay. Staff was very accommodating for our early arrival. Rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. Unfortunately, we had to leave early for the ferry departure and weren't able to enjoy the complimentary breakfast.
Christine
This simple guesthouse was in a perfect location and was very clean and safe. We wanted extra pillows and they were brought to us. I appreciated having a couch to sit on, it's nice to have the extra seating area. Also appreciated the fridge in the hallway.
DeeEllen Ervin
Fine but no breakfast as was told in advance. We were told they stopped serving a week earlier.
Verified traveler
Bit disappointed
It was an unexpected stay because the ferry cancelled due to weather, wind. We booked online, arrived after 3pm (check in time), no one was there. We called two numbers and eventually someone came. The tv didn't work.
Amy
The breakfast was extremely minimal. The common areas such as hallways were very old and seemed dirty, very average/below average for the cost.
Kim
Great location for a stay on the island. Easy parking outside the door. Convenient to harbour and town amenities. Good breakfast.
Steven
The ferry to the island was cancelled due to bad weather (8 Sept 2023). We called and emailed the hotel to explain we could not arrive per our reservation -- something they certainly would know. Hamar never answered or responded. In desperation, called Expedia for help the same day. Expedia called back the next day, informed that the hotel would not work with us or Expedia, and the hotel would still charge us as a no-show. (Since there were no doubt day visitors stranded on the island, would not surprise if Hamar ended up renting our room anyway). Beware.
Kiersten
Very enjoyable stay
Nice guesthouse, big rooms, easy to find, simple check-in. Would stay again when we return. Thank you!
Joe
This ia great place to stay. The room is very spacious. The breakfast was enjoyable.
Tracy
Guesthouse Hamar is in a great location, only a few blocks from the ferry (leave your car on the mainland if you don’t really need to drive on Westmann Island). The room was a lot bigger than I thought. Shower was a little tight, but ok.
Breakfast was included which was good as well. Walls are a bit thin, but there wasn’t anyone up late, so it didn’t bother us at night. Very happy with this 1 night stay.

Stephen
Large comfortable rooms
Good central location, walking distance from ferry terminal.
Jennifer
Excellent nights stay! Staff was friendly and helpful.
Jeffery
We found our key on the desk at 7 PM; no one was around. If you’re older and have bags, beware that there is no elevator. Now good things: Bed was comfortable, room was clean, excellent location downtown near restaurants. Recommend you spend extra to bring your car across on the ferry. This island is a delight to explore by car.

Super cute guesthouse with good breakfast!

Comfy and clean! Guesthouse Hamar is located super close to the ferry and there's lots of free parking around the building.
I'd recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Heimaey!

Christy
Check-in was super easy and parking was available right out front. During checkout, reception went out of her way to get us some information. We thoroughly enjoyed our sleep in the comfortable beds and there was a full-sized fridge in the hallway; convenient for the grocery stores a walking distance away.
Greg
Great place with great location very close to the ferry terminal.
Michele
Comfortable rooms in great location to explore all of the island. Room was good size, with a comfortable bed and a couch for sitting, family owned, with friendly and helpful staff. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery store and the in-town activities including the Eldfell volcano.
William
Hotel: very clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Biggest negative: no elevator
Gwendolyn
Loved the building architecture and high ceilings. The staff was absolutely perfect. So helpful, especially with luggage as the guesthouse has 3 floors and no elevator. We wished we’d known that before we booked. We would have packed in a different way. But all in all wonderful.
Paul
Great location. Easy parking. Wished for an elevator.
Christopher
Everything is good with the hotel. Not entirely clear what possible parking spots were legitimate, but car was still there in a.m. so i guessed ok. No breakfast in off- season that maybe i should have known, but missed. Room is clean, warm, ok shower. Well equipped.
Mark
Fantastic location. Easy parking. Did not have much interaction with staff which was too bad. Very clean.
Verified traveler
Great place very close to the ferry stop. A nice breakfast and nice staff.
Sheryl Ann
The location was very good. When we arrived at check in time nobody was here to check us in and we had to track down by phone. Bed comfortable, room clean. Wish there were more towels than just the two very small ones
Gail
Family charm and a great Island headquarters.
Family run abs everyone was really friendly and accommodating. It’s a three star kind of place with extra special service and views of the volcano abs the town. Breakfast was nice. Again, family was really kind abs thoughtful.
Christopher
Fun
Nice place
Verified traveler
It was clean, quiet and good location . Would recommend it.
Felice S.
Best place to stay!
I'm not sure why you would stay anywhere else on this island. The room was great, the sisters who manage the property were attentive, cheery and terrific resources for all the best tips on what to do/not do while visiting. The location is 2 minutes walking from the ferry and right near the supermarket and restaurants. Can't be beat!
