Guest Reviews

• Shalyn (10/5): - This was such a cute little place. It definitely felt like a home away from ours. We will definitely be returning hopefully sooner than later.
• Michael (10/5): - Quiet, remote, scenic. Room was very quiet. Comfortable.
• Janice (8/5): - Great and convenient location for exploring the peninsula. Spacious and comfortable room, smallish bathroom with just one shampoo or body wash but good shower pressure. Good spot to see an aurora if one makes an appearance! They offer food all day, we had the lamb soup with toasted bread which was excellent, but the chicken noodle soup, although filling, was rather tasteless. Friendly and helpful staff.
• Angela (10/5): - The room was nice and cozy. It was very quiet, and the staff was friendly.
• Ila (8/5): - The room was compact but clean and comfortable. The attached bathroom was petite with a shower stall that was almost next to the sink and no partition or shower curtain so the whole bathroom got wet. Apart from this it was a good stay in a very convenient location in the Snaefellsness peninsula. Thanks to the staff for being so courteous and helpful.
• Lauren (10/5): Hotel Snæfellsnes stay 9/25 - The hotel was near some beautiful attractions. Staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good. We had a great view of the Northern lights.
• Arth (10/5): - The gentleman at the reception was very polite and took utmost care of the situation. We were very happy as he automatically upgraded us to an apartment as there were some noise complaint from previous guest. As for the apartment, it was clean with stunning scenic views. Overall, we loved our stay.
• Angie (8/5): Great location on peninsula - Nice small motel in good location for peninsula sight seeing. Rooms were comfortable and hotel restaurant had excellent food. Breakfast was included with a great variety of choices. Only down side was door had weight on it and slammed so in evening if resting you may hear your neighbours door as they left but it is otherwise in a quiet and remote area. Would definitely recommend
• Carole (10/5): - Cute property, great restaurant and location!
• Nancy Firra (10/5): - The service at this hotel was fantastic! In addition to having great food in their restaurant, the hotel also has a bakery with wonderful pastries. The beds were very comfortable, & the room size was perfect for 2. We would definitely stay here again.

• Nancy (10/5): Perfect room - This was our last night in Iceland. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, good size. Bathroom was also perfect size. Small shelf. Great shower. We also had dinner at the restaurant. One of the best meals in Iceland. I was just about a 2 hour ride to the airport. TV was available, but have your Prime or Netflix acct numbers available.

• Anuj (8/5): - This hotel was a great find. It has clean and well-kept rooms with Smart TVs and an excellent breakfast. Their on-site café stays open until 9:30 PM, which is very convenient. We had a fantastic stay here, and the location is ideal for exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula without needing to drive from Reykjavík.
• Peter (8/5): - Bed and bedding were not comfortable for us, but that is a matter of taste. Really needs bathroom ventilation.
• Autumn (10/5): - This hotel and its owner are WONDERFUL! Lovely place to stay on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Highly recommend!
• Kit Man (10/5): - extremely friendly and helpful staffs, very welcoming, they showed us the room and briefed us about the functions when they gave us the key. The heat was coming from the floor so it may take a while to heat up but all is well, we had a nice sleep and very lovely breakfast as well. Highly recommended this hotel if you are around this area to explore the Snæfellsjökull national park.
• Franco (10/5): - Great place clean ad firendly staff
• Joshua (10/5): - The staff was exceptionally friendly. Room was very tidy and the bed was like a cloud compared to the place we came from. The baked goods from the cafe were delicious. The wind was quite fast the night we stayed and you could hear it in the vent in the bathroom but shutting the door did a good enough job to quiet it down a good bit. Would stay here again if I had the chance
• gordon (10/5): - Well situated
• Terry (10/5): - Perfect location to stay while visiting Snaefellsnes
• ROSA (10/5): - Staff was very kind
• Stephanie (10/5): - We loved this hotel. The staff was very welcoming. The food in their restaurant was excellent. We loved the breakfast that was included. They have a latte machine for the morning and were nice enough to boil me some oat milk to make a latte. Probably the best coffee we had while in Iceland was here. It was an extremely convenient location for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. We would gladly stay here again in the future.
• Thomas (10/5): Snaefellsnes - Spent 3 nights here while exploring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula and couldn't have found a better hotel! Breakfast was good, bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was very spacious!
• Koon Ming (10/5): - The Breakfast is good with many selection and the homemade bread is delicious. We had dinners at the restaurant and the food is well presented and worth the price we paid. The big bonus is that we were able to see the Northern Lights right outside our hotel room which is certainly a great plus given the freezing cold.
• Nathan (10/5): - Great apple dessert!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - 房間很大，甚至我們在晚上九點半才check in，住宿老闆還是為我們親切的介紹房間及周邊設施！
• Laurie (8/5): - Planned this location after a day of exploring the Snaefellnes peninsula. Room was clean and restaurant availability onsite was a bonus to get a late dinner.
• Garrett (10/5): - Nice, quiet rooms. Wonderful breakfast buffet!
• John (10/5): - Perfect for Northern Lights.
• Rose (10/5): - Hotel Snæfellsnes – The Perfect Base for Exploring the Peninsula Located almost in the center of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, Hotel Snæfellsnes has everything you need to explore this stunning region. If you’re visiting Iceland, don’t skip this area! We used the hotel as a base to explore the peninsula clockwise, and each stop felt like a new highlight, adding to the overall experience. Our room was clean and spacious, with large windows offering a beautiful view. We even spotted three sheep walking by our window, which made the experience extra special. The room had a well-equipped bathroom, and the hotel is a one-story building with a big parking lot and a nearby gas station. There’s even an On Power plug station for electric cars, which was very convenient. The hotel also features a restaurant where you can enjoy dinner, as well as a breakfast buffet that’s included with your stay. During dinner, we were hosted by Anselmo, who made our dining experience unforgettable. His recommendations for food, wine, and dessert truly elevated the meal. If you stay here, you absolutely must try the lamb and the apple pie dessert—they were outstanding! Anselmo’s warmth and hospitality left a lasting impression on us, and we’re grateful for his kindness. Overall, Hotel Snæfellsnes is an excellent choice for travelers looking to explore this beautiful peninsula while enjoying a comfortable and welcoming stay. We highly recommend it and would gladly stay here again.

Interestingly, tables were allocated by your room name which meant there was a table for everyone. There is also an electric car charge point in the carpark.
• Laetitia (8/5): Bon hôtel - Nous avions une chambre pour 3 avec 3 lits séparés. Comme souvent dans les salles de bain on ne sait pas comment accrocher les serviettes pour tout le monde et autres affaires. La salle de bain en question était grande. Petit déjeuner inclus très bien avec du choix et le repas du soir pris au restaurant était correct.

• Florian (8/5): More a 3-star hotel - Was nice, but was expecting more from a 4-star hotel.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good value for money - The layout of the hotel seemed more like a motel with all units at ground floor level. The rooms are a good size, warm and comfortable, ours looked recently redecorated. Spacious bathroom with walk-in shower and underfloor heating. A kettle and Nespresso machine were supplied for tea and/or coffee. Dinner and breakfast were served in the restaurant attached to the popular cafe - dinner portions were generous and the breakfast selection was excellent. It looks quite basic on the outside but offers a lot
• Lisa (10/5): Great Stay - We had an amazing stay here. The room was cozy and had all the amenities needed for our overnight stay.

Very affordable as well. I loved it !

• David (10/5): - Outstanding. Quiet, peaceful, and for Americans like a “motel that feels like a hotel.” There are individual doors to each room like in a motel which is perfect for a ring road trip. 100 percent of you will be driving. A bathroom that echoes it is so big. Excellent breakfast. Wonderful staff who showed me to my unit herself rather than just giving directions. I cannot recommend this place more highly. Very convenient on way to the national park.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the presentation.
• Jennifer (10/5): - We loved our short 1 night stay here. A really kind man greeted us and walked us to our room. It was very clean and was probably the most comfortable bed we had during our stay. There’s a cafe/dinner opened pretty late so you can grab coffee and something to eat reasonably late. Everyone was really friendly. Breakfast has espresso, fruits, pastries, and more!

• HAN (10/5): - Very neat hotel! Great dinner & fresh breakfast. Highly recommended :)
• Ruby (10/5): - You really should stay here. Pictures of the rooms don't do them justice. They have vaulted ceilings! Plush linens with loads of pillows, effective blackout curtains, and windows that open. And its so quiet. You'll definitely sleep peaceful. Oh, and did I mention the cappuccino maker in your room? Or the Netflix and Amazon Prime on the TV? Or that the way the water drains in the shower is so freaking cool??? Staff is so friendly and cheerful. The homemade bread at breakfast toasted perfectly with crisp edges all around. And the lamb shank I had for supper one night was the best meal of my two week trip. So flavorful and fell off the bone with wonderful veggie sides. Really a must try. I stayed a total of nine places on my vacation, and this place was my absolute favorite. I'll be dreaming of that meal, and my stay, for quite awhile. You really must stay at this lovely establishment! Thank you, thank you, for such a remarkable stay!
• Mark (10/5): - Excellent food reasonably priced. We ate lunch (fish and chips), dinner (lamb shank and trout) as well as breakfast (buffet included with accommodation) and all were excellent. Room had a great coffee maker and bed was very comfortable.
• Michael (10/5): - The room was clean and spacious and we got a really good night rest. Also, I stayed during a rainy/stormy day and arrived late (passed the normal check in time). But even in the bad weather, the staff went the extra mile to ensure that we were able to get to our room. Thank you!!
• Brad (10/5): - Excellent breakfast with lots of options and dinner options were excellent. The trout was superb, and the lamb looked excellent.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel room was large but very basic and unappealing. For example there is no towel rack in the bathroom.
• Dimitriy (10/5): - Very clean room, great breakfast included.
• Alice (10/5): Superfint hotel på snæfellsnes. - Det er et superfint hotel med nogle flotte værelser. Folkene er supersøde og engelsk talende. Hotellet ligger perfekt i forhold til sigthseeing på halvøen. Hotellet går de allerbedste anbefaling fra os
• Tara (10/5): - The food was delicious for dinner and the breakfast in the morning offered an array of breakfast items.
• Martin (10/5): - It's a great base for visiting the peninsula. You're in the middle of nowhere by a road junction, theres practically nothing else close by and you can see for miles in every direction. Its very peaceful. The rooms are warm, there's a little coffee lounge and the food in the restaurant is fabulous. We stayed three nights and really liked it.
• Karl (10/5): - Room was clean with big tv and nice shower and comfortable bed. Staff was very friendly and helpful - dinner at the restaurant was delicious- fish and chips and the vegan soup were great plus save room for dessert. The breakfast in the morning was the usual but very good. Definitely recommend.
