One of our absolute favorite and most memorable places during our Iceland trip. The accommodation was so homey and well designed and spacious. Perfect for our family and baby. The restaurant was delicious and adorable as well as the breakfast. The owners were kind and thoughtful and we learned so much about the history of the lodge. The surrounding area was stunning and I would recommend everyone to stay here during their stay along the ring road!!

Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm features accommodation 55 km from Egilsstadir. The hostel has family rooms.

At the hostel the rooms include a shared bathroom with a shower.

Guests at Húsey Hostel & Horsefarm will be able to enjoy activities in and around Húsey, like hiking. The farm is located in the most beautiful scenery and although one could say it's a bit isolated the location is just perfect for the purpose. The place is charming and genuine with tons of character and atmosphere. The best part however is definately the staff. The ladies of the house were extremely welcoming and lovely. We enjoyed our stay to the full and were so happy to have the chance for a ride with the amazing horses. Loved every bit of it.

Some rooms at Hafaldan HI hostel, old hospital building feature private bathrooms, while others have an in-room wash basin and access to shared bathroom facilities. Access to a fully equipped guest kitchen, lounge and BBQ area is also offered. Laundry facilities are available. The team was extremely helpful 👏 I also liked that there was a good coffee machine 😀 and Oatmilk, at no other hostel I've been to in Iceland they have that. The whole hostel was super clean 👌 and still they had only 3 workers, which I thought was almost impossible, but they were extremely thorough and fast. I will go there again! Thank you to Sara especially, you are one of a kind ❤️

Located in Djúpivogur village, this hostel offers rooms with free WiFi. The rooms are located in a separate house, while there is a shared kitchen in the main building.

All rooms at Hostel Framtid also have access to shared bathroom facilities and a lounge. Bed linen and towels are included. The hostel is very well equipped. The staff is very accommodating; we arrived after the check-in time had ended but because we called earlier the staff stayed behind to greet us and give us the key with instructions. The rooms are good and the beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean.
