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 team was extremely helpful 👏 I also liked that there was a good coffee machine 😀 and Oatmilk, at no other hostel I've been to in Iceland they have that. The whole hostel was super clean 👌 and still they had only 3 workers, which I thought was almost impossible, but they were extremely thorough and fast. I will go there again! Thank you to Sara especially, you are one of a kind ❤️

Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm features accommodation 55 km from Egilsstadir. The hostel has family rooms.

At the hostel the rooms include a shared bathroom with a shower.

Guests at Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm will be able to enjoy activities in and around Húsey, like hiking. Old farmhouse very comfortable and cozy. The cleanliness in rooms, toilets and kitchen is very good. The location is remote and not close to a town, which makes it a great opportunity to feel the lowlands of this region. The host is very friendly and encourages interaction between guests through the hostel features (large kitchen and gallery for eating together, library with board games and no WiFi to minimize internet surfing). Highly recommended!
