Hotel Djúpavík

The hotel is set in a truly unique location, surrounded by breathtaking mountains and the sea. Although it’s not the easiest place to access, the journey is well worth it—once you arrive, the stunning scenery and remarkable architecture will leave you in awe. The staff are exceptionally friendly, the restaurant serves delicious food, and the rooms are cozy and inviting. What made my stay unforgettable was the night concert held in an old abandoned factory—a one-of-a-kind and surprising experience that I will cherish for a lifetime.

The most charismatic hotel in all of Iceland. We love everything, the people, the service and the food. Best fish you can have in the most beautiful little place you can imagine.

This is a really special place in a magical part of the country. It feels like you've arrived at the end of the earth -- in part because of the challenging drive. During my visit a few years ago, the roads were getting washed out and closed due to heavy rain and I was almost stranded (not to mention, almost swept into the sea..). I arrived very shaken and stressed but received the warmest welcome and a hot bowl of soup. Unfortunately the bad weather cut short the time I had planned to spend in this part of Iceland. Be sure to tour the old herring factory. It was extremely atmospheric and I loved it.

Free coffee and excellent chocolate cake and friendly service in the middle of nowhere after an hour on a loose surface road: bliss. The scenery is breathtaking on the western fjords and somehow, the weather is on our side with frequent strong sunshine

Great country style Hotel in a unique location at Djúpavík Strandir. Great food, must try the their own baked bread.

Incredible. Amazing. Unbelievable. Home made bread. The first time I’ve got something like that in Iceland. Nice creamy salted butter. Great soup. Good fish, not the best but better than many other places. Nice small international wine and local beer. Great location. Great sense of telling the story of the place. Too bad the table cover is not also in English. Great service. Thank you very much. Enjoy everything you do, tomorrow is another day, but don’t count on it!

This remote Icelandic gem offers a unique and authentic experience. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and inviting. Free coffee and tea are a lovely touch. The dinner was delicious, and the home-baked bread at breakfast was simply divine. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. While the rooms are basic with shared bathroom facilities, it adds to the hostel-like charm. It’s important to note that this hotel was originally a dormitory for herring factory workers, which gives it a fascinating history. If you're looking for a stay with character, this is the place for you!

Arriving late evening after a challenging road trip from Reykjavik, this wonderful remote pearl welcomed us with supper of spicy hot soup and newly baked bread. One of the tables in the dining room occupied of a semifinished jigsaw. Another of artisans preparing for an upcoming exhibition, having a friendly chat before bedtime.|The hotel room is small but cosy, windows overviewing the sea. Every hotel spot decorated with things that once belonged to somebody else or somewhere near and familiar. Very nostalgic.|Next days herring factory museum tour, led by hotel and factory owner family member Magnus, was stunning. The guide gave us the fascinating historical background as well as a crash course in engineering and genius, lack of equality for women, romance during herring season and how nature came handy for the industry for almost two decades. |Enthusiasts of Abandoned Places will absolutely adore this place.|This will be my one most surprising memory on our trip to lovely Iceland.
