Very nice hotel on the coast of fjord. I guess it used to be a farm that later converted in a accomodation place. Now it still keep vintage place charm. We stopped in the family studio, that have a two floors and fully equipped kitchen. View was amazing.

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. Here you are literally part of a living farm. The entire facility, equipment, building, animals, nature, .. everything is so authentic. If you don't mind living in a Vintage style, you definitely can't miss this place. For us it was a real experience. It was the only place where we woke up and looked out the window at horses. The most beautiful and colorful sunset we met on our trip. And those birds? A complete bird orchestra. There were home-made eggs from the farm in the fridge for a small fee, we really regretted having our own. We definitely recommend!

Located in Seyðisfjörður, 4.1 km from Gufufoss, Hafaldan HI Hostel - Harbour Building provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and barbecue facilities. Guests can enjoy mountain views. The host was very pleasant and gave me a lift to the correct building after discovering I was in the wrong one ! I thought that, due a few art students floating around (they were there for a residency) that it was open, and simply not fully in gear yet because it was the very start of the season... I got to the building I was actually supposed to be in and found that that very much wasn't the case! Well stocked facilities, like milk frothers, and if you had a bit of change, use of a coffee machine, plenty of cutlery, with books, jenga and chess, and lots of table space too. The view was gorgeous. I couldn't stop staring out the window in disbelief. The room had its own sink, which was very nice! I had a lovely stay :)
