The Freezer Hostel & Culture Center, hotel in Hellissandur

Situated on western Iceland’s Snaefellsnes Peninsula, this former fish processing factory has been converted into a professional theatre and artsy hostel. Free WiFi access is available throughout.

Easy late check in, couldn't do laundry after a certain time (around 5-6pm) so worth knowing if anyone was planning on that. Comfy beds, good common room with lots of games. We were there in April so no gigs or anything on

Brenna: Cliffside Apartment, hotel in Hellissandur

Situated in Hellissandur in the West Iceland region, Brenna: Cliffside Apartment has a patio and mountain views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace and free WiFi.

It was the best place we stayed in Iceland so far. The whole apartment was super cozy and warm. Sleeping with the sound of the sea is amazing. While we were there there was a blizzard and we were actually happy because by being stuck we could enjoy the place more. Super recommended

Gotuhus - Sea View Apartment, hotel in Hellissandur

Set in Hellissandur in the West Iceland region, Gotuhus - Sea View Apartment features a patio and mountain views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace and free WiFi.

Amazing location with panoramic views over the sea. One wakes up and falls asleep to the sound of the waves. The apartment is very spacious, the bedroom is a decent size too and the beds very comfortable. Parking on site. The terrace is no longer shared with the neighbours, a wooden wall has been built to divide the terrace so each apartment has their own private part.

    Place and people are nice,

    Place and people are nice, the right position to visit Snaefellsjokull National Park and the west of the peninsula. There are no easily accessible restaurants and shops, you have to provide all your supplies. In the hostel, you have a nice functional kitchen, refrigerator, and a small bar to buy drinking and snacks: light beverages, juices, potato chips, and smarties. To find milk, bread, and food, you have to wait for the day after, at the nearest shop with a minimum 15 km run. Once you organize yourself, life is comfortable, and friend are nice.

    Small, quiet town along the water near the tip of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It is quite beautiful in the area with sites nearby. The location is great if you are spending two days touring the peninsula. The murals are fun to view but that's about all there is to do in the town itself.

    We were trying to find a hotel close to the Snaefellsjokull Nat'l Park. Now that we have been there, we would opt for staying on Olafsvik (with 2 restaurants for dinner) or go to other side of park at Hellnar or Arnarstapi. Hellissandur didn't have much going on, except Gilbakki Kaffihus is very nice for mid-morning snack, lunch or afternoon break. Very nice people.

    I went to climb Snæfellsjökull, a 30 year ambition. Weather was horid, glad to not be spending the next 300 year as part of a glacier. Lets say it was an exciting day and not for those without experience with Ice weapons.

    What a treat! The house itself is insolite, used to be a bar, a grocery shop and later turned into e guesthouse. Generous and homey spacing and a beautiful flow, you enter from the street to the dining room then to the bedroom and then out on the terrace overviewing the ocean. The monocular on the terrace was a welcomed add on from the hosts, they knew seals are just in front at low tide... The cold beers in the fridge were also a nice touch ;) Loved our stay!

    This is a fun, characterful and quirky self-catering apartment in a village on the end of the peninsula. Think student house with nothing matching, but it doesn't matter because you chose it and there's books to browse and swap. Take a book to leave there. We had supper in the nearby town of Ólafsvík, as the restaurants in Hellisandur were closed in the low season. The village has amazing street art.

    Everything about this stay was great! The place had great vibes and was very comfortable to stay at and hangout. The staff was wonderful and were very welcoming! I ended up staying at a quiet time so had a room to my self basically, but felt very comfortable and welcomed throughout the hostel. I would definitely stay again if I came back to the area!

    I loved everything about this place! The kitchen had more utensils than most people have at home, so many choices of board games, and all the books! Made you feel like you want to stay for a month to discover everything on the shelves! Such a great idea for an apartment! Do not miss a chance to get breakfast served by a real viking in RAM Iceland!

    Definitely one of the highlights of our two week trip in Iceland. Edge of the world meets the comfort of modern living. Apartment is very well equipped and the view is just too good to describe. Make sure you arrive in time to catch the sunset on the terrace! And when it gets dark, the midcentury modern living room is perfect for a cozy night in.

    Beautiful, cute and quaint house. Loved staying here. Very responsive hosts. Would highly recommend! Great location to explore the peninsula. Restaurants in town were all closed for the season but we found restaurants 10 mins away and a grocery store so no problem. Loved the murals in this town also.

    Great location overlooking the water in the small town of Hellissandur at the tip of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. We did a two day trip along the peninsula from Reykjavik so this was a perfect location for the night. Enjoyed reading a book in the living room and watching the ocean.

    The first morning we got a breakfast box for each one and it was not very good. The second morning there were more people in the hotel and breakfast was served and each person choose what to eat, much better.

    It was our first experience with “no reception” arrival but it worked very well. Email received day of our arrival provided code for entry to hotel and code for room. The rooms were exceptionally clean.

    Most original place we've been to in Iceland. Super nice common areas with great vibes. Although it's far from being luxurious, it has so much character and charm, it is absolutely worth staying there.
