Grundarfjörður HI Hostel

The only drawback is the parking a 2mins walk from the house, rather than just at the house. Everything else is great. I can see the mountain from the front porch. The kitchen is well equipped and good for cooking dinner. Room is bigger than peers. Bathroom is decent, though the shower room is too tiny. Check in time is more lenient than peers (anytime after 3pm). One of the top 3 accommodations on my ring road trip

The hostel has two buildings, the red one which is the main building, and green, and we stayed in a quad-room on the ground floor of the green one. There were two bathrooms on the ground floor, which is good enough and there’s never any need to wait. The cooking area in the kitchen is relatively small, which can allow only one family cooking at a time. The room is relatively small, but has good blinder. As the kitchen is in the middle of the 3 rooms, we can hear the noise from the kitchen early in the morning. The parking is about 100m from the hostel, which is very convenient.

The location and service was great. Very clean rooms. It was nice to have a full kitchen as well as a living room! Keep in mind there are no spices or anything, just dishes and pots,pans, etc. Of course, only problem is roommates. Ours weren't super noisy but you can still hear them if they are moving around while you are trying to sleep. But that's common of hostels.

Really lovely room. Location is perfect, quite close to the obvious main attraction in the town. I wish I had booked my entire stay in the peninsula at this hostel.

We stayed here four nights during a wintery April. The location is great with the local swimming pool just a few steps away, fantastic views of the mountains behind the town and a quick walk to the harbour. Kitchen was perfect for our purposes and we really enjoyed our stay!

Cute and cozy hostel with really helpful and nice staff. Mountain view from the room! Facilities nice and clean. Also lovely common space and the kitchen. Highly recommend!

Hotel pricing for a run down hostel. I paid $150 for a room and was very disappointed with it. The property isn’t very clean, the walls are paper thin and various things are broken. I could justify paying something like $80 for this but $150 is a rip off.

+ The place was great! I loved that everything was on the same floor (in our case): room, bathrooms, kitchen. We also had a sink in the room, which was very handy. We received a big family room instead of a double room, and we liked it! Everything was nice, I would totally recommend this place! - Parking is a few hundred meters up the road, which is not a lot, but it was raining like crazy when we arrived, so this was a bit unpleasant.
