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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
