Seljavellir Guesthouse

Highly recommend, comfy, clean, functional, great value. Liked · Check in process was very easy; room and facilities were excellent, comfortable, clean, and modern. The location was also perfect, just a bit outside Hofn, and very accessible to all nearby attractions. Lastly, the kitchen facilities (plates, microwave, coffee machine) are quite functional. Disliked · Only minor points of improvement - a mini fridge in the rooms would be ideal. As it was very cold, we were able to keep food cold in the car, but this is not very comfy. Lastly, we would suggest having a way to turn off the lights outside of the rooms - this would be optimal for northern lights spotting, as the guesthouse is very well located with lights displays very visible. However, the ourdoor lights of the room make it difficult.

Would not recommend © Location was good set up inside would have been good except for bedding condition • Once I pulled bedding back and inspected bed found the mattress cover with rust coloured stains and pepper like particles on it. I suspected bed bugs. DID NOT STAY left immediately. Panicking as late evening found another place to stay. Messaged hotel in the morning and asked for a refund and they replied I should have gave them a second chance to give me a different room and will not refund my money paid I WOULD NOT RETURN!!!

Very nice, cheap and comfy rooms 5 minutes away from Hofn. For those who are hunting northern lights this place is ideal as they keep it low lighting during night and all north side is clear with a massive view.

Fantastic accommodation! Seemed shelter here from a heavy rainstorm and was very happy and lucky it was one available room for us. The bed was comfortable, room was clean and spacious for the two of us with lots of room for our bags. Clean and good size bathrooms. There was a common room in the middle of the building which we did not use because we slept in so I cannot describe that. Recommended!

I would say that Seljavellir is an accommodation that met our needs but did not go above and beyond. However, what we booked is what we got. It’s a no frills basic accommodation. The self check in was easy. The hotel is about 10 minutes from the main area of Hofn. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and warm. There’s a counter, a coat rack, only soap in the bathroom, a single pillow per person, a single hand towel (even for 2 people). Also, the noise control isn’t great but it didn’t bother us much because we were an end unit and our neighbors werent too noisy but I can see how others found it hard to deal with. A very odd thing I found was the flooring - it was reminiscent of faux stone we use outdoor on patios at home. So it wasn’t pleasant on the feet. The breakfast was not included and was 2500 ISK per person, but when we saw the offering we weren’t impressed and decided against it. It looked very basic for the price but then again Iceland prices are expensive. They did offer free coffee and hot water so I grabbed that and a skyr from a gas station and that was good enough for me. Overall, I’d say it was a good accommodation but not GREAT.

Full scam place - definitely not hotel nor calm place. The house is basically built from paper walls. The path to other rooms goes next to your window so you can hear all the noise of towing luggage. Also, there is no noise cancellation between rooms so when people wake up at 4 for hike you will wake up too. As a bonus, owner of property is arrogant and not willing to address any issue.

Cosy, clean and a fantastic accommodation if you are looking for a place to stay in the area. Comfy bed, perfect heating and a great shower to rest after a tiring day exploring Iceland. Highly recommended!

We've booked two rooms in April, and the team had that into attention, giving us adjacent rooms. The rooms were quite nice and comfortable, with big windows and nicely clean. The autonomous check in was easy and a plus, so we were not pressured about arriving time. The staff was available by message and very helpful. The only downside was the sound isolation between rooms, and the insane sound of the wind entering by the bathroom vent.
