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.
Welcome Apartments offers accommodation in Ólafsvík fishing village.

The apartment was spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. The self check in was explained well and simple to follow. The location is good for exploring the area.
Situated in Ólafsvík in the West Iceland region, Experience Beautiful Iceland features a patio and garden views. The property has sea and mountain views.
Beautiful views of the sea, especially sunrise. Great mountain views. It was uncharacteristically cold and windy so no hiking but trails exist. Easy access to the national park with black beaches, lighthouses, lava tubes and volcano views. Nothing open in winter, you'll have to drive to Arnarstapi (5 minutes) or 30 min around the peninsula for any food or fuel.

Great location to explore the peninsula and lots of walks...
Great location to explore the peninsula and lots of walks from Hellnar along the coast. Eating options are quite limited but the food at our hotel was excellent so we were happy to eat there each night.
Great location at the end of the peninsula after a busy day exploring. Not much nearby - but nice walk down to beach (with cafe). Hotel rooms are cosy but clean and comfortable - timber framed so not much noise insulation. We had a great stay for one night as a family of four with two sea view rooms - and were pleasantly surprised how good the restaurant food was considering how remote the hotel is. Very impressed by how friendly all the staff were - every single one said hello/good morning etc with a smile as you passed them
Remote, wild location just off the ring road, warm welcome, views (even on a rainy day), good room with comfy bed and bathroom with a strong shower. Dinner and breakfast both great. Also recommend the Frista Food Truck in nearby Arnarstapi for amazing fish and chips and quesadillas. Good recommendations from reception for spots to stop at on the drive back to Reykjavik, including seals on the rocks at Ytri Tunga. We also found a lovely little forest to walk through further on at Hofsstaðaskógur.
The location is great. The town of Hellnar is little more than a hotel, these accommodations, an old church and access to a wonderful seaside trail that starts at a charming little cafe perfect for a post hike beer or soup and bread. If the weather cooperates you’ll have great views of the glacier out one window and ocean out the other.
Great location as a mid-point overnight stop on a two day drive around the Snaeffelsns Pininsula. Really beautiful views out both the front & backdoors; glacier on one side, ocean on the other. Nice, clean restaurant and rooms. Able to accommodate a room for Parents and one child. Great espresso machine in the restaurant.
The location was amazing, the place was clean, and it was super quiet in Hellnar. It's also walking distance to the "hotel" in Hellnar, and they have a very good restaurant.
Hellnar was a perfect base for us to do some day trips around the peninsula. It's also close to some of the popular attractions.
The staff were amazing, kind and helpful.
The location was perfect, and the views from the common areas were breathtaking. All of the major sites on the peninsula are a short drive from the hotel.
Parking was easy.
Dinner was exceptional! We felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant.
This hotel is really recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff, the room was perfect, it was cleaned well every day. Breakfast and dinner were well served. Beautiful location with many hiking trails. The perfect hotel to stay for 4 days to explore Sneaffelsnes
Great location between glacier and ocean.
Nice room with mini fridge and comfy beds and pillows. It was peaceful and quiet. Good choice of tv channels, also free wifi. Friendly employees. The restaurant had a limited menu but the food was delicious.
The room was very spacious and had a very comfortable bed. The room had also a couch and a table which was very useful.
The hotel restaurant had a great view on the sea. The breakfast was rich and very good.
The dinners in the restaurant were good.

It's a nice hotel on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The food is good and stuff is friendly. There's a big parking space. The location is great for panoramas and photos. We even managed to take some pictures of whales.
Absolutely beautiful views. Fabulous hike right from hotel. Dinner was delicious! Compliments to the chef! Best meal in Iceland and better than Moss at Blue Lagoon.
