The staff was friendly and the centrality of the guest house right next to the witch museum and harbour was great. Okay for one night.

“Holmavik Guesthouse”
Hostel style accommodation. Comfortable beds. Upgraded bathrooms. A nice, clean, tidy property. Helpful staff. Good breakfast. In the middle of a small village setting, across the road from local restaurant.

“Great location and very nice hosts”
Great location right by the harbour. We received a very friendly welcome and were happy to talk to the owner and his father about Iceland. Perfect starting point for whale watching or excursions along the coast. The Fiskur Pot was excellent.

“Fascinating history of regional Iceland”
Location was nice, next to the museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft which has a cafe. We had a great view from our room. Staff were very nice and helpful, particularly when we received a severe weather warning and needed some advice. Wi fi was good, breakfast was basic but perfectly adequate.
