Wifi

It's a good stop after the ferry from Westfjords. It offers what a hostel offers. The wifi did not work very well in my room. Generally, it's a good stay.

Shared toilets. I have a problem with it. We did not use the kitchen but it seemed a little bit small, so, specially during the summer, might be a little complicated to find a spot and cook in there... But I don't know, just guessing. I wish I had a kettle in my room...

Very charming guesthouse. I loved the interior styling! Nice staff. Bed was very comfortable. We had a big window with a view to the ocean... Great showers. Common areas are pleasant. There is even a piano you can play (from 10 to 22 it is allowed)! Good breakfast. Parking for free in the front. Beautiful location. Stykkisholmur is the cuttest little town!

There's a walk to the shower, but no problem.

My kids (aged 32 and 30) rated this among the coolest we stayed - really homely lounge and kitchen and dining space. Helpful hosts were there to welcome us. All clean and comfortable. Most of all, the location was outstanding, and the value incredible. Really nice stay.

I think the price could be lower in comparison with other hostels in Iceland.

The guesthouse is a good option for staying one night, which is more affordable than other accommodations in the area. Bathrooms and kitchen were clean and check in was easy by door codes which were sent to your smartphone before your stay. Bedroom was little and with no further equipment, like a wardrobe for jackets would have been nice, but the bed was comfortable.

Great location with a great view of the Harbour

Stayed in February 2025

Unfortunately the shower head cannot be moved, it is fixed at the top. On the ceiling in my room there were metal tubes going through and I had to listen to some loud weird noises (gas? heating?) the whole night, which is not so cool when you would like to - I am so sorry, but - sleep! Check out time is 10:00, which is kind of "OK", I suggest to change it to 06:00 so everyone can just leave early and catch that worm.

The location is the best feature of the guesthouse. Right at the harbour, close to the ferry to the Westfjords and Flatey. Lovely painted house with a unique interiour design and a plethora of bric-a-brac. Easy check-in.

My room felt like Van Gogh’s room in his St Rémy Asylum, only worse cos I have a basement room with views of gravel and cars. A constant noise of machinery running was coming somewhere. I’m not sure if it was the heat or if it came from outside. There was an overwhelming smell of artificial fragrance from cleaning agents. Kettle was malfunctioning.

Most terrible experience I have ever had at a guesthouse. I received an email the day before check-in asking me to download an app to use electronic keys for the front door and door to my room. Okay, no problem. When I arrived at the property, the keypads turned green, indicating that the electronic keys were working, BUT, the doors to the property were still locked. I called two customer service numbers for the property, but there was NO ONE WORKING THERE or answering the phones. After spending 20 minutes just trying to get into the building, I finally started pounding on the door in hopes that another guest would let me in. When someone finally opened the door, I told them I was having trouble with the keys and asked if they could direct me to the reception area. They said there was no reception area and there were no staff members in the building. Okay. The guests told me that they also could not open the doors to the property from the outside; they had to knock on the door and wait in hopes that another guest on the inside would let them in. "Then how do you leave?" I asked them. To which they replied, "We don't. We have had to just stay in the building since we entered." This is absurd! Who wants to go on vacation only to be TRAPPED INSIDE THEIR HOTEL because it is NOT POSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO THE PROPERTY FROM THE OUTSIDE? My partner and I ended up needing to book a last-minute, very expensive room in another hotel in Stykkisholmur. No one from Sjávarborg has responded to my request for help or explanation. Awful experience all around.

Our room was up two flights of stairs from the parking area in the back. Difficult to get luggage up the narrow stairs. Showers were in the basement (down 2 floors from our room). Staff in the cafe was only able to offer minimal assistance with lodging issues. Price was too expensive to not even include breakfast when there is a cafe on site. Also, very noisy in the evenings.

Nice location close to the harbor and walking distance to restaurants and grocery store.

Shared bathroom, although was obviously aware of the setup when I booked.

Nice central location. Reasonable price.

The service is really bad. We booked two rooms, but the host just gave us the code of one room. And also, because of some accidents happened, some of our friend could not live in room, we try to texted to the host, but the host didn’t answer me any messages until midnight we arrived at hotel ,and we get the what’s app number and called to the host. The host told me it is ok to refund of one of our room and ask us to sleep in four people’s room which in fact we have five people. However, tomorrow morning, the host said they could not do anything about it, and they could not refund to us.

VERY EXPENSIVE FOR A HOSTEL. WE HAD TO GET DOWN 2 STORIES FOR THE BATHROOM. SHARED TOILET FOR MANY PEOPLE. THE KITCHEN WAS TOO BUSY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO USE IT.

It is close to the harbor, but there might be better locations. It is very cheap (compared to other places in Iceland), but this is for a reason...

Uncomfortable beds and too noisy for our party.

Location is next door to a fancy restaurant and across the street from the harbor and a fish and chips and ice cream food carts. The hotel has a nice cafe downstairs. This is more of a hostel style place. We did have a private toilet. Room was bunk beds and double bed close together. Showers were in the lower level (3 total). We had a lot of stairs to carry heavy luggage but managed fine. None of us 4 slept well as the beds were uncomfortable and we could hear people in our halls as they used a shared toilet. The breakfast was very good and filling. Recommend walking across the way to the lighthouse.

A lot of noise from other tourists at night. Breakfast too late when you have to take the ferry. And very crowdy at the same hour - because everyone needs to take the ferry.

This hostel is perfect for one night. Especially when you need the ferry - just in front of the house. There is a shared kitchen available in the basement and a coffehouse in the front.

Breakfast should be included for the high price paid. A 2 star hotel for a 4 star price. But that is the cost of rooms in Iceland today. The check out time was early: 10:00am. I asked to use the <free> wifi at 10:05 am but was told to go outside and use a network that was not available.

Ease of check-in.
