Situated in Selfoss, 47 km from Ljosifoss, The Coffee House features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine.

Owner was very friendly and happy to give advice on places to go and she made you feel very welcome. This was the best accommodation we stayed in on our week's holiday in Iceland, would definitely stay again on a return visit. The communal space was spacious despite there only being 3 bedrooms, the bedroom itself was small but clean. The kitchen although small was very well equipped. The washer/dryer in the bathroom was also a perk The photos don't do it justice, they make the communal area/kitchen look much smaller then what it was

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This property is situated near Hella, close to the Ring road, a very serene, stunning and peaceful place to stay. The house is quite big with 4 bedrooms including 4 bunk beds. Very well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our stay. We used to get message daily from the property enquiring whether we face any issues ,a very impressive gesture! Highly recommended.

    Great location, easy access, fast communication with the host. During our short stay we experienced the birth of a foal just in front of the house.

    well equipped kitchen - close to a forest - bunk beds to store luggage conveniently on the top bed (lower is a double bed), using this technique I couldn't find the room too small - large common area for sitting (kitchen & living room) - self-check in
