Best Hotels in Olafsvik

The worst ‘ Hotel ‘ I’ve ever had the misfortune to enter. Without a doubt the most expensive although I admit I may not travel a lot. The staff if there were any present may be able to sort problems out but in a bid to cut costs you have to ring for a room number and code….if they answer. Rude and seemingly ignorant after about 35 phone calls. Avoid at all costs and you won’t be disappointed. The rooms themselves I have no issues with. The management of the building is terrible and considering it’s £240 per night their object seems to be to just rip the tourist off. The lowest pint of my visit to Iceland by a long way. Companies like this should not survive on business.

Nice set up with multiple cottages on one side of the road (further from the water) and the hotel on the other side (closer to the water). If view is important to you, then the hotel might have better access to water view as some of the cottages probably look at the buildings of the hotel. Luckily my cottage was at the east end (room 11) so my window had an unobstructed view of the water, and my door could see the hotel/water as well. Check in is at the Arnarstapi Center (where the restaurant is) and that’s also where you park your car. It’s a short 1-2 min walk to your cottage. But you are allowed to drive up to your cottage to unload luggage before parking your car a bit further. The inside is basic but lights were functional. Kettle, microwave, and mini fridge. We didn’t want to eat at the restaurant so bought a sandwich before coming here and microwaved it to heat it up. Would be nice if they provided basic utensils and plates. I had no problems with wifi as some others have had. Fast connection, could watch Netflix. It is true there is limited hot water (~5 min) but my partner and I just showered 1 hour apart at the end of the night. Both had hot water and with the expectation it would be short lived. It’s nearby to the trail by the waterfront including the stone bridge which was pretty. I would stay here again if I drove into the peninsula again.

The sea view room has a good view and the restaurant has a good view. The restaurant is not open at noon but serves coffee, tea and small bread throughout the day. There is a bit awkward when the room needs to pass through the restaurant. Overall it was great and the service staff was especially friendly!

The location is very good and several major attractions can be walked. The town is very beautiful, probably the most beautiful place on the Snefer Peninsula. The hotel is also the best hotel in the town with parking

Overall very good, for a reasonable price, they have new and clean facilities, with decent room space. Has quite environment and friendly staff. Its not 24 hour reception and breakfast could be better. Can also adjust the door of the corridor to be more queit as it's loud when close without paying attention.

What a magical stay we had at Hotel Budir. Although the setting is very remote, Hotel Budir has an intimate and welcoming vibe and the scenery around it is stunning (mountains, ocean, moss-covered lava fields, the iconic Black Church, and of course the ubiquitous sheep). Our room was clean and extremely comfortable, with views of a tall waterfall out one window and the distant Snaefellsjokull glacier-capped mountain out the other. The staff were all super friendly and accommodating, adding to the warm, family-like feel of the hotel. We loved the cozy bar (and the 40% discounted happy hour drinks!), and the dining room with its bank of windows on three sides was a lovely setting for our delicious gourmet dinners and the breakfast buffet. But what made our stay at Hotel Budir especially magical and memorable was the three-hours we spent on our final night watching a brilliant and ethereal display of the Northern Lights!
