Maybe because of not yet high season, it was very quiet. Shared bathrooms were not the problem due to a few guests. The restaurant is excellent.

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. We were surprised that the hostel was so clean and cozy. We felt very comfortable. At the entrance you have to take your shoes off, so you'll get a homey feeling. The hostel has a small Sauna you can use for free, which we enjoyed very much. The whole hostel operates on a "think Green" spirit, which was very cool. It has a great sharing concept for all the public rooms. The kitchen was very well equipped and the decoration showed love for details. The room was small but cozy and the bed was comfortable. Check Out is at 10am but you can use the public facilities even after that. We enjoyed our stay there very much.

Located in Seyðisfjörður, 4.1 km from Gufufoss, Hafaldan HI Hostel - Harbour Building provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking and barbecue facilities. Guests can enjoy mountain views. This isn’t something I usually notice but the hostel was very well structured. The layout was very convenient and comfortable (showers were separated nicely with lots of space, lots of space for luggage in the rooms and under the bed, head space on top bunks etc) and there were outlets and usb ports in each bunk. The entire building had such a comfortable, welcoming vibe, not to mention it was very aesthetic and had an incredible view of the mountains and ocean. Nicely designed with a funky color palette and lots of decor. It was a 14 minute walk to the town centre but it had guides, maps, board games, and books all in the hostel. The kitchen was clean and had all the utilities organized and sanitized nicely. Staff were incredibly kind and accommodating and even helped me set up a ride to the airport. Wish I could have stayed longer!
