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. A fantastic hostel in a great location. We were in room 12 which was a double with bathroom and a view of the mountains. There were great facilities including a sauna and we were able to stay until the boat left despite having checked out. We thought it was the best hostel we have stayed in. We would definitely stay again if we came back to Seydisfjordur. Thank you to the owners and staff.
