Við Hafið Guesthouse/Hostel

Very clean hostel in central Olafsvik. We stayed here after whale watching and a trip to Kirkjufell. Kitchen was well equipped and there was even an oven which isn’t always found at guest houses in Iceland. The toilets and showers were very clean, so was the bedroom so no complaints! Entrance is at the back of the building up some stairs.

Amazing guesthouse, spacious and with great shared rooms and clean bedrooms. Staff were really friendly and sociable, with a special mention to Tina who spoke with us and took us to a spot to see the northern lights, as well as helping us out with any issues we had at any hour, really perfect service!

Really nice guesthouse on the peninsula. Very recently transferred ownership (like a couple days ago) which complicated the new owners ability to confirm our reservation. But they did! Community kitchen was nice and the couple sitting areas were, too. Loved that there was a tv to catch the Euro Cup! Fair warning: There are no breakfast amenities here. And there’s nothing nearby that opens early. Bring your own stuff. Olafsvik was a great little town with a couple nice restaurants in walking distance. Made it easy to enjoy this stop!

the guesthouse was really nice, everything was so clean!! the check in worked perfectly & we were also allowed to use the parking lot after check out :) in the kitchen was everything you will need & many tables. there were enough bathrooms & toilets. We could even see the northern lights from the room and had a great view to the beautiful sunset in olafsvik was great

Well located guesthouse on Snæfellsnes peninsula. Great spot to tour around. Hostel is cozy, quiet, clean and well-equipped. Staff is friendly and helpful. I recommend room with a sea view.

We booked a room with private bathroom. Ideal for families or for a wheelchair user.

decent place to stay when touring Snefelefelus. Room was quite tight for 4 people. Kitchen had lots of seating and tables, but a tiny place to cook and all centered on one corner; as the sink, oven, stove top, trash and dishwasher were all in one corner, it really limited it to one party prepping a meal at a time. Curtains were not blackout curtains. No issues with having to wait for bathrooms or showers.

Stayed in Iceland for a week, and this was by and far our favorite location to stay at. The check-in folks were super kind, and everything was very clean. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
