Vesturhopsholar accommodation from AU$163

Great family vacation stopover spot. Very clean. There’s a small utility room with a clothesline to dry your suit if coming from an outdoor hot spring visit. Know that most rentals in the area have hot spring hot water systems that will smell like well water, not something that can be helped to my knowledge. Just saying to point out it isn’t an issue to be concerned with. There is a pretty full kitchen as pictured and picnic table out front. The grocery store in town closes early and opens late, so get your provisions early if that’s your plan. There’s a great seafood restaurant next door if you miss the timing. The walk into town from the unit along a small waterfall stream and park was really pleasant and makes the area feel much more walkable. If you are planning on seal watching in the area, many of the roads are not paved as of June 2024, so plan on double the time your gps claims. Many of the spots are closed due to tourists scaring the seals away, so do some research first. If pointing out anything to improve, the unit’s bedroom has two twin bed frames that can spread apart some if using as a single bed. Many European flats have two twins as a single queen/full, but often with one big frame to keep them from drifting apart.

This is a lovely hotel. We had a large room, tall shower (important for my 6'5" husband), and nice amenities. There's an absolutely delicious restaurant on-site, which we still talk about, and breakfast had waffles (also important for my husband). The staff was really friendly, too. We're already talking about finding our way back on our next trip to Iceland for the food if nothing else!

Great location and ways to find. Friendly staff. Restaurant stays open later so was able to get dinner. Room was exactly as described and perfect for 1 person.
