Perfect place as a mid-point in a long drive. Virtually ZERO to do, including only a gas station grocery only. But as a "motel 6" type option, it was better than average.

The two guys that run this place have apparently taken it on in the last couple of years and are very enthusiastic, friendly and helpful.
There is a pool table in the main “hall” area.
And the breakfast was delicious (there’s a waffle maker!)
Dinner can also be provided but you need to give 48hrs notice

Owners have done the "extra" mile here. It was the most welcooming experience in a hotel/room i ever had. They had thought of every need you may have. You can find anything you want in the house with instructions, from how to make your waffles (they offer you all the ingredients there with homemade jam) to musical instruments, to turn on the hot pool so that you find it ready when you go. Highly recommened. And the best location for northern lights, we just went out of the house and we saw the magical show of northern lights above us.

The house is beautiful located at the edge of the fjord, There is another house just next to it. There is enough privacy for both houses. The interior is made with love. I loved the spacious bathroom. The bed was very comfy.
When the sun shines it can get very hot inside, but we could open all kind of windows, so it was no problem, i liked the sustainability of using the sunheat.

A very lovely and warm home that made our stay in Iceland an absolute delight and comfort. Our hosts were welcoming and the place was pretty, clean and spacious. The sea view was therapeutic. We loved the place!

What a place! We were greeted by Oskar and his dog and given the grand tour which far exceeded our expectations. Oskar had clearly poured his heart and soul into the place and it showed. It had a very homely feel. The bedroom was comfortable with proper blinds that kept the light out. The bathroom was immaculate and well finished, there was even a lounge room upstairs for guests to chill in. The kitchen was well equipped and well labelled. Oskar gave us great tips on nearby attractions which we would otherwise have missed. He was easily the best host on our 15 day tour of Iceland!
The greatest highlight of this guesthouse was obviously the arctic foxes that came out to play in the evening. We spent hours in the field photographing them, they came right up to us.
This hotel was easy to find off the main Route 1. Accommodation was on the basic side, however it was clean and tidy. 24/7 tea & coffee available from the dining area. Staff were friendly and assisted where necessary. Reasonable buffet breakfast. It is more on the expensive side compared to other hotels we had stayed in but due to its location, it appears to be reasonably priced. There is plenty of off road parking. The village itself is quite compact but there is a lack of local restaurants. We can recommend the Sjavarborg Restaurant, on the quayside for evening meal.

We only stayed a night, arriving in a blizzard. It was absolutely stunning, the hot tub and sauna in the snow were simply breath-taking. We didn't even get a chance to check out Hvammstangi, unfortunately, but next time I will definitely stay here again!

We loved everything: the cottage, the view, the nice short talk with the owner, the aurora on our second evening!
The main restaurant at the village near the cottage is pricy but very good: save for it if needed, it is worth it (and needed as there is no kitchen in the cottage 😉).
The water could be ice cold at first, be patient, it will soon be (very) warm. Talk to the owner before your stay, it will explain the reason better than me!
One last point: the owner talked about a path to go to the shore of the fjord, but we didn't found it. Make sure he explain it to you clearly.

We stayed here for one night.
We stayed here for one night. We where a little concerned considering the remote area of the country. The owner greeted us very kindly and made us feel like at home. Once you step in you can feel the love she has put in to this place. I was really happy on how clean the house is. The bed limens where so clean and ironed. ♥️ the backyard was adorable. She had waffles for us and a home made jelly made. ♥️

Just a short walk out of town but far enough to be quiet and private. Guesthouse was a wonderful surprise. Modern, clean and a very well equipped kitchen for guests. Host even threw a pot of coffee on in the morning. Full fjord view from our bedroom. Turned out to be one of our best overnights in Iceland.
Well-equipped kitchen with various spices available (you will need to take your own cooking oil), no breakfast but they do provide bread, jam also tea and coffee for guests. Host Eva is very kind, she generously shared some cooking oil with us for our dinner. The location of this guesthouse is perfect for road trip on route 711. The house is very tidy and it is a quiet, cosy and light pollution free place to stay. We got a room with nice fjord view (no luck with aurora though, maybe next time :D)
This is a standard hostel, with some good and some not so good parts. Rooms were large and there was plenty of bathrooms, although they didn't smell to good. The bad part was the kitchen, which is too small for the number of guests, and didn't even have a pan. All in all not a terrible experience, but for sure the worst hostel we saw so far in the 7 days we spent in iceland, also considering value for money
This is a special place outside of town that feels like an old European guesthouse. It's both very personal with photos and decorations of beloved animals and family heirlooms, yet also private and quiet. Our room was quite small but very comfortable. Free breakfast was a great feature, and it was lovely to be able to have dinner in-house as well. The staff were so helpful and friendly. Would stay again.
Loved the size of the home. We rented two homes for our family of 5 and it was by far the best value for our trip for a fraction of the price of the cramped hotels we stayed at during our 9 day road trip. If there was more to do in the area we would have used it as a home base. If we return we would def. stay here again.
A beautiful spot just off the ring road. The guesthouse is very homely with some quirky decor. Room was nice and clean, bathroom was well stocked and had a powerful shower. Bed was comfy, there was no tea making facilities in the room, but no problem because we had a delicious breakfast with freshly cooked cinnamon rolls!
We loved everything about the cottage and the location. The surroundings were beautiful and serene with a view of the sea. The cottage inside was lovely: spacious and comfortable with pretty decor. The cottage was one of our two favorite overnight stays in our drive around the island. I wish we could've stayed longer.
For a couple, this cottage is just amazing and absolutely perfect in every way. It was the best accommodation during our entire Iceland trip. Everything from the cottage itself, the interior design and layout and the exceptional view on the surrounding area makes this a special experience.
Highly recommended.
Close to the town of Hvammstangi, this clean and comfortable guesthouse provided nice views and a great place to stay while driving along the ring road. There is a nice kitchenette that you can prepare your own meals and a grocery store right down the street (about 5 minutes drive).
The hotel was nice and comfortable. Enjoyed having a TV to watch. There is not a restaurant on site. We did not pay for breakfast. There is a restaurant at the Museum. Not too many other places to eat. It was good place to stay on our way to our next stop.
Located in a remote area this guesthouse has amazing setting. Everything inside is immaculate, clean and well thought. Kitchen has everything you need and common areas are quite spacious. This was one of the best guesthouses we stayed in Iceland.
I stayed there before really liked the place. This time one of the rooms had a leakage in the bathroom area, and the staff was able to change the room instantly for which I am very grateful. Overall I always liked this hotel!
Located in a beautiful village, away from the major tourist spots, quite and peaceful. Gave us a more authentic Icelandic feel. The cottage is not big, but has everything we need and offers compete privacy.
Oskar is an extraordinary host, we felt like home. The place is simple, but it is comfortable, clean and well equipped. The road to access the guesthouse is a little rough, but it is part of the journey.
Beautiful guesthouse with sauna and whirlpool. Very uncomplicated and very friendly owners. They put waffle mix and home made jam in the kitchen for us. Many different teas and coffee too!
Outstanding guesthouse - really clean, spacious, modern. The breakfast was excellent even though none of us expected to get anything. Nicole was a super kind host. Highly recommended!
Beautiful location on workings farm. Each room has its own sink. Easy check in. very kind owner. It’s an older home, but gives a real experience on living in Iceland.
