The Freezer Hostel & Culture Center
8.3 (56 reviews)

The Freezer Hostel & Culture Center ★★

📍 Hafnargata 16, Rif

"Beyond expectations, the architecture is beautiful. The common areas are spacious, and during the off-season, there were only about 10 young people staying. You can cook simple meals. It seems most foreigners here eat pasta. The town itself is also very charming."

Fosshotel Hellnar
9.1 (119 reviews)

Fosshotel Hellnar ★★★

📍 Brekkubær, Snaefellsbaer

"Amazing location surrounded by nature. Delicious breakfast. We enjoyed staying in the Superior room, spacious and comfortable for our family of 4."

Peninsula Suites
9.6 (306 reviews)

Peninsula Suites ★★★★

📍 Gíslabær, Snaefellsbaer

"The room is located next to the coast, with beautiful scenery. The facilities are complete, and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking. The room is a stand-alone design, so you will not be affected by other guests at all. It is highly recommended."

Adventure Hotel Hellissandur
8.7 (78 reviews)

Adventure Hotel Hellissandur ★★★

📍 Klettsbúð 9, Hellissandur

Hotel Búdir ★★★

📍 Búðir, Snaefellsbaer

"The scenery is amazing. The Black Church is right next to it. It's a pleasant walk along the beach. The food is also delicious. It's just a little pricey."

Arnarstapi Hotel ★★
"The hotel room is as cool and clean as other hotels in Iceland. Because there are no street lights, it is very suitable for photographing the aurora. I just don’t know why I was given a room at the farthest end."

Arnarstapi Cottages ★★★
"Arriving at this resort is the start of a logistical and customer service nightmare: An unmarked labyrinth: You get lost among unrelated restaurants and private homes, searching for a reception area that no one seems to know where to find. Parking disaster: Cars driving haphazardly across the grass. It's impossible to tell if you're parking in an official lot or in the middle of a garden bordered by a few stones. Zero hospitality: The reception staff is curt and unfriendly. It's clear that in northern Spain, we're miles ahead in terms of warmth and professionalism. Commercial dungeons designed to squeeze you dry: The photos sell charming cabins, but the reality is that you're given a tiny room with an obvious double purpose: A cramped space where everything is crammed together and the amenities are limited to a microwave, a kettle, and a handful of cups. Zero cutlery: A blatant attempt to prevent you from preparing your own food, forcing you to spend money at their restaurant. As if the size weren't enough, the hygienic conditions inside are bordering on unacceptable by any hotel standard: Dust accumulation: General room cleaning is practically nonexistent, demonstrating a complete disregard for guest comfort. Cloudy shower: The shower screen is disgusting; it's completely opaque, covered in a thick layer of limescale and dried soap scum from previous guests. The final straw, and the most serious issue with the entire accommodation, is a negligence they deliberately conceal on their website: Freezing in August: With outside temperatures of 7°C at night, the cabin is a veritable icebox. The ridiculously small mini-stove provided is incapable of heating the space. Timed hot water: The water heater in the bathroom barely lasts 20 minutes. If you exceed that time, you're condemned to shiver for an hour and a half waiting for the tank to refill. Verdict: A completely disastrous experience. They sell you the magic of Iceland and deliver a dirty, freezing, and claustrophobic corner."

"Laundry and drying services are chargeable. Breakfast options are a bit limited. The bathroom lacks an extractor fan, making it very humid. The room has heating and a window. Parking is available but can get full. The singing activities at night didn't end until past 11 PM. Remember to bring earplugs."

Fosshotel Hellnar ★★★
"Surprisingly an amazing place, I was not expecting such a pretty location too. The nearby hiking trail between Hellnar to Arnarstapi was beautiful. Probably one of the best bookings during my Iceland trip because the room was a good size, with lots of various storage space options, and many great amentities. I appreciated the mini fridge and kettle which isn’t really common in Iceland hotels. The bathroom was nice and clean too. Staff were friendly! Just a fantastic place!"

"A truly luxurious experience in Iceland, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a fully equipped kitchen. Cooking in this natural setting, followed by relaxing with your partner and watching TV, and enjoying a delicious breakfast before heading out the next day."
