Fosshotel Hellnar, hotel in Arnarstapi

This award-winning, eco-friendly hotel is on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, 6 km from Iceland’s famous Snæfellsjökull glacier and volcano.

The hotel was really nice, as well as the staff and we had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. It is also quite nicely located near the sea with a nice view. If you are going around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, it is a great place to stay.

Við Hafið Guesthouse, hotel in Arnarstapi

Located along the coastline, Við Hafið Guesthouse offers simple accommodation in Ólafsvík. Guests here can benefit from free WiFi and the fitness centre on site.

This was a real case of 'dont judge a book by its cover'. The outside of the building, above shops, looked less inviting than when we got inside. Inside it was just 'wow' with clean open spaces for sitting and preparing food. The kitchen had everything you needed with fridges for your food and as much tableware necessary for large numbers of people. There was a dishwaher and washing machines (chargeable). The bedrooms were clean and also sound proof for a good nights sleep. Everywhere was very clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

All positive, location stunning (especially in snow storm we had!), guest house was as described and expected, although overall a little bit communal for us, but we had booked the en-suite family room so all good.

    I was climbing the glacier Snæfellsjökull with a group of people from FÍ (Ferðafélag Íslands). Arnarstapavegur is an excellent place to use as base for that activity as well as exploring the Snæfellsjökull National Park.

    The breakfast was excellent and the staff was helpful.

    The breakfast was excellent and the staff was helpful. Very nice restaurant there on premise. Room was sparse and simple but super clean and new and the bed was fabulous! Super comfy. Great location. Easy to get to and nice things to see there. Perfect for a one night stay but not for longer.

    We drove the Snaefellsjokull Park and peninsula.

    We drove the Snaefellsjokull Park and peninsula. Fascinating. From the small churches. The wild ocean and black sand beaches. The bird cliffs. Waterfalls. Lava fields and the glacier from many viewpoints. We had a wonderful lunch at Gilhakki Kaffihus in Hellissander. A charming little coffee house. You can do the loop in one day. There’s so much to do and see that two days would be even better. I would find a day trip from Reykjavik too rushed. Glad we stayed in Arnarstapi and drove through to Stykkisholmur

    I liked the place, the cottage was very nice and comfortable, walked from Arnarstapi to Hellnar (2,5 km). A beautiful walk along the see. Had lunch at Fjöruhusið, had delicious fish-soup, waffles and coffee. A must to experience, very original. Arnarstapi has two restaurants that were open July 2020. Both decent, one is part of the hotel and more upscale. There is no shop in the area, so you have to take all necessities with you, even matches and tampons were not to be found! Lot's of beautiful sights around the area and the glacier is very close. We visited Lýsuhóll natural pool, really nice although quite primitive. Overall a very nice experience and the nature sights are breathtaking.

    Tiny town with beautiful vistas/views and hikes.

    Tiny town with beautiful vistas/views and hikes. Not much variety of food options, but a handful of restaurants and some good fish and chips to be had! All extremely walk-able and I'd recommend a nice evening walk along the coastline as an activity.

    Arnarstapi is a quaint little fishing village with lovely views and trails for hiking / walking. The cottages were a great place to stay for the evening on our self-drive tour of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Our room was clean and modern, yet cozy and rustic. We liked the self check-in, which made it easy for us to come an go on our schedule. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to spend proper time exploring the beauty of this area of Iceland!
