Guest rooms at Skyrhusid HI Hostel have an in-room wash basin. All have access to shared bathroom facilities. Bed linen and towels are included. The staff is absolutely amazing there and always ready to help! They even helped me out taking out my stucked car of the snow with a tractor! And gave me a lot of tips on how driving in the snow properly. This was the highlight of our stay: the people who work there. Also, the pizza we had at the dinner was so good - I mean, really good stuff. About the room, everything was tidy and clean, the shower is great with the right amount of water pressure and temperature, it has a heater to keep everything warm and the beds are nice.

Hafaldan HI hostel, old hospital building

Seyðisfjörður

Located in Seydisfjördur village, this hostel offers a rooms with a seating area, fjord views and free Wi-Fi. Seydisfjördur Swimming Pool is just 30 metres away. Parking is free at the hotel.

Some rooms at Hafaldan HI hostel, old hospital building feature private bathrooms, while others have an in-room wash basin and access to shared bathroom facilities. Access to a fully equipped guest kitchen, lounge and BBQ area is also offered. Laundry facilities are available. The staff and cleanliness blew us away wth their superb attention. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and the place eas cleaned regularly while we were there. The kitchen and sauna were excellent. The only thing I would say that was a con was that you could hear everything from outside the private rooms as the buildingnis quite old. I would recommend using ear plugs and letting guests know that the sound travels quite easily from the hallway into the rooms. Otherwise the stay was a 10/10 in every other way, I would love to stay there again and will recommend it to my friends. Thank you!
