“Super cute town, fun experience to take the ferry over to see an authentic Icelandic community.”
This was an excellent experience to visit Hrisey. Despite the outside look it was very clean well equipt and cozy. The beads were amazing the check in was simple. I loved it here.

“A nice and affordable accommodation for people without high demands.”
Beds were very comfortable. Although the bedroom was super tiny, you had a lot of common space to spread out. We did not meet the host but he repsonded quickly through messanger. The accomodation was obviousely once a place to live. Due to a lot of equipment you get some kind of visiting "granny's home" for those who like it.
