Very clean and cosy. Slept really well. The room was not very big and you have to share a bathroom with other guests, but that was not a problem. The shared kitchen was very clean and you could make yourself a cup of coffee there in the morning.

At the very centre of the town, close to everything, free parking right in front of the door, very cosy and kind of traditional building. All the good restaurants are around this place. For sure a nice warm sanctuary to spend your days in Heimaey.

“Ideal nice and comfy accomodation in Westmanns”
Very nice & traditional house close to the harbor. Tiny but with modern design, at the same time very comfortable with well equipped kitchen. The bathroom surprisingly big, modern and super-clean

“Cozy, clean, calm hotel with a friendly staff and a great kitchen!”
Very cozy place with a very good kitchen, where you can prepare your own meal. This guesthouse is located right in the center of the town, so all the shops were very close by. Our room was very clean and mattress was fine, not too soft neither too hard. Shared bathroom actually was not the only one, but plenty of them on the second floor and on the first floor, shower is clean and good, with different new towels on the shelves, clear sanitary rules. We don’t watch tv, but this one was equipped with a streaming platform, so most probably if you need to watch anything you will find something. Very helpful generous Icelanders working and running this place, we could get to know many interesting things about an island and town and got a guided ride to the lighthouse when the weather could be getting harsh. Thank you!
