Perfect place as a mid-point in a long drive. Virtually ZERO to do, including only a gas station grocery only. But as a "motel 6" type option, it was better than average.

The two guys that run this place have apparently taken it on in the last couple of years and are very enthusiastic, friendly and helpful.
There is a pool table in the main “hall” area.
And the breakfast was delicious (there’s a waffle maker!)
Dinner can also be provided but you need to give 48hrs notice

Owners have done the "extra" mile here. It was the most welcooming experience in a hotel/room i ever had. They had thought of every need you may have. You can find anything you want in the house with instructions, from how to make your waffles (they offer you all the ingredients there with homemade jam) to musical instruments, to turn on the hot pool so that you find it ready when you go. Highly recommened. And the best location for northern lights, we just went out of the house and we saw the magical show of northern lights above us.

The house is beautiful located at the edge of the fjord, There is another house just next to it. There is enough privacy for both houses. The interior is made with love. I loved the spacious bathroom. The bed was very comfy.
When the sun shines it can get very hot inside, but we could open all kind of windows, so it was no problem, i liked the sustainability of using the sunheat.

A very lovely and warm home that made our stay in Iceland an absolute delight and comfort. Our hosts were welcoming and the place was pretty, clean and spacious. The sea view was therapeutic. We loved the place!
This hotel was easy to find off the main Route 1. Accommodation was on the basic side, however it was clean and tidy. 24/7 tea & coffee available from the dining area. Staff were friendly and assisted where necessary. Reasonable buffet breakfast. It is more on the expensive side compared to other hotels we had stayed in but due to its location, it appears to be reasonably priced. There is plenty of off road parking. The village itself is quite compact but there is a lack of local restaurants. We can recommend the Sjavarborg Restaurant, on the quayside for evening meal.

We only stayed a night, arriving in a blizzard. It was absolutely stunning, the hot tub and sauna in the snow were simply breath-taking. We didn't even get a chance to check out Hvammstangi, unfortunately, but next time I will definitely stay here again!

We loved everything: the cottage, the view, the nice short talk with the owner, the aurora on our second evening!
The main restaurant at the village near the cottage is pricy but very good: save for it if needed, it is worth it (and needed as there is no kitchen in the cottage 😉).
The water could be ice cold at first, be patient, it will soon be (very) warm. Talk to the owner before your stay, it will explain the reason better than me!
One last point: the owner talked about a path to go to the shore of the fjord, but we didn't found it. Make sure he explain it to you clearly.

We stayed here for one night.
We stayed here for one night. We where a little concerned considering the remote area of the country. The owner greeted us very kindly and made us feel like at home. Once you step in you can feel the love she has put in to this place. I was really happy on how clean the house is. The bed limens where so clean and ironed. ♥️ the backyard was adorable. She had waffles for us and a home made jelly made. ♥️

Just a short walk out of town but far enough to be quiet and private. Guesthouse was a wonderful surprise. Modern, clean and a very well equipped kitchen for guests. Host even threw a pot of coffee on in the morning. Full fjord view from our bedroom. Turned out to be one of our best overnights in Iceland.
Breakfast was poor at best. But if you were planning to go there to see the northern lights, the rooms would have been very good for that. The hotel is way out of the way, but easy to drive to. There is nothing around, so your food options are limited to zero
I will give it high marks for clean, it was very clean. They could have given a bath mat type towel to stand on.
A great location on a farm, just next to a peninsula with its fair share of attractions (go check out the nearby Seal Center in Hvammstangi for a better understanding of the region's cutest mammal before driving around Vatnsnes to spot some seals lounging on rocks). Andrea was a very welcoming host, I really enjoyed talking with her and the breakfast was a nice bonus.
We stayed in the first unit, closer to the entrance. The place was roomy, with enough space for our luggages (which was always a problem with hotels). The water did have a strong sulfur smell but other than that, the place was very nice. The views are spectacular and there is a small town very close to it so gas and market are easily accessible.
We loved the space and enjoyed watching some YouTube videos on the TV. We only stayed one night, so didn’t get to enjoy the place as much as we would have liked. It was one of the best places we stayed in Iceland. The town also had a nice restaurant we enjoyed. In the morning, there wasn't much in town for a quick breakfast though.
Loved the size of the home. We rented two homes for our family of 5 and it was by far the best value for our trip for a fraction of the price of the cramped hotels we stayed at during our 9 day road trip. If there was more to do in the area we would have used it as a home base. If we return we would def. stay here again.
The cottages are exactly as new, comfortable, and beautiful as the photos. Very well designed. Almost everything you’d need is provided. And the views out every window are gorgeous. Fields, rolling hills, the fjord in the distance, and Icelandic horses prancing around in the field next door.
The best night in Iceland; I give this house 100/10 points. We received a nice treat from the host. It feels like more than a house; it feels like 'home.' The facilities, especially the kitchen, are excellent. Everything is clean, and the bed is so comfy. We had a great night here.
We LOVED the place and everything. It has been a highlight among our accommodation choices in Iceland. This is an original Icelandic house! We were delighted to be welcomed by the owners dog , the sweet Tawta! The house was warm , big and well equipped.
Great breakfast as you would experience in a luxury hotel, but in a comfy home setting, exceeding our expectations.
The hostess was super-nice.
So many small details to make a memorable experience for our stay. Highly recommend staying here.
Dreamy location with Icelandic horses just outside the door and view over the beautiful fjord. Host was very friendly and recommended a great restaurant for dinner in the harbour (go search the seal centre and the restaurant is just above).
This lovely house near the water is everything you need for a peaceful stay. Everything and more was available. We could choose in which room to sleep, because there was enough place. We had a real Icelandic feeling in the house.
Outstanding guesthouse - really clean, spacious, modern. The breakfast was excellent even though none of us expected to get anything. Nicole was a super kind host. Highly recommended!
