Við Hafið Guesthouse, hotel in Ólafsvík

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.

    Small, quiet Icelandic town but with enough facilities to support a vacation stay. Plan to get all your supplies by 18:00 as stores close then. Location is central to all sites on the peninsula. Not many restaurants in Olafsvik and those open were closed or on limited hours in the off season (late September) but there are some in nearby towns that were open.

    Bikers paradise is far more beyond our expectations. it is close to church mountain and national park, sea views and mountain views with some waterfalls. The whole family of the host is one of the kindest people we have ever meet. They are very happy to help whenever their guests need. Apparently we were acknowledged they have helped many guests for free, such as stuck in the snow, car breakdown , late arrival without food etc.

    A lot of things to see around the peninsula - make the circular drive around the tip. Visit Laugarbrekka, Malarrif Ligjthouse, Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge, and the Gatklettur. A lot of restaurants nearby (I had some great fish n chips while there). Local folks are courteous and helpful. I hated to leave.

    The city is beautiful with all terrains around it. There is a beautiful waterfall in the city to which you can walk right up close and there are mountains around it plus beach/sea. Good restaurant in the city called Sker.

    Ólafsvík is the larger of settlements around Snaefellsjokull national park. There are plenty of things to see on this end of West Iceland, so 2-3 days is a good length of stay here. It has a bank, shop, and gas station; a fairly remarkable church, and a post office.

    The guest house has a few bed rooms some share a bath and half-bath. It worked out well for the three of us and the price is very affordable. We met a young family there and enjoyed there company in the shared kitchen area. If you are traveling with your own food supply this is really an excellent choice. From the hotel we walked to town and walked on a path up around the hills behind the small development where the guest house is located. We went whale-watching from this town so it was really perfect for the things we wanted to do.

    Olafsvik is a must stay on your ring road experience! It’s very cute and surprisingly not as small as I imagined from online images and description. Inga and Oli were very sweet with their concern for guests and extremely hospitable. The house is so cute and cozy. The living area is very spacious, the bathroom is clean, and kitchen has all supplies. The house is filled with thoughtful and beautiful decor. We made friends with people traveling from Germany. I highly recommend. This was one of our favorite stays.

    Biker's Paradise is a cosy guesthouse where you feel like home. It is so clean, well organized and everything smells so fresh! Oli (and Inga) are so friendly ans helpfull. The location is amazing: perfect to discover the peninsula. Olafsvik is a sweet little town. Take walk through it because it is so cute. The view from the guesthouse is also very impressive. There are two beaches in front of it and they are perfect for a short walk or to watch the sunrise.

    Very big and nice apartment with parking space in the center of Olafsvik. The villiage itself is perfect to visit Snaefellsnes peninsula and you have good chances to see nothern lights (we saw some). Everything was clean and quite new in the apartment and it was really big. We stayed with 4 persons (2 seperate rooms) and we had a living room with kitchen. It was a really nice stay and the best location we had during our journey through Island.

    The town of Olafsvik was a perfect stop, & Bikers’ Paradise was a gem! The location has a beautiful view & is near a great walking/hiking trail. There’s a shared bathroom situation here, but there are 2 (only 1 with a shower). Never had to wait! There’s a great common area, & the kitchen has many amenities. I met Inga, one of the owners, & she is incredibly friendly & clearly wants guests to have a comfortable stay.

    Great apartment in the center of Olafsvik, perfectly situated for a tour of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. The place is quite big and very practical, there is everything needed in the kitchen. Comfortable beds and small but nice bathroom with a washing machine, a great feature after all the hiking in the rain. Decoration is vintage but clean and cosy. Communication and check-in/out are super easy.

    Our host was friendly and told us about his partner's artwork. This place is also a gallery. The rooms are upstairs, opening onto the kitchen. The owners are downstairs if you need anything. We enjoyed chatting with other guests. Breakfast was self-serve. Olafsvik is close to attractions on the Snefellsnes penninsula, and there's a nice hike right in town that gives you views of the area.

    Great kitchen, and a really good location in Ólafsvík. It's an easy walk to restaurants, the pool, the gym, Vínbúðin, and the grocery store. And it's so close to Snæfellsjökull National Park. Just minutes away from great hiking and scenery. The living space is nice for both dining (table for 4) and having a movie night - with a nice size TV and easy to connect a streaming device.

    Tidy, very clean and comfortable. we were surprised how good it was given the description as a hostel. In some countries hostels can be poor but not in Iceland it seems. The only minus was that the heating made the room very hot and not ideal for sleeping but the beds were very comfortable. If you are thinking of staying in Olafsvik, this is a great option!

    We very much enjoyed our two nights in Olafsvik, as part of our visit to the Snæfell peninsula. As we relied on cooking our own meals during our stay in Iceland, this place was pretty perfect as it had a kitchen containing all the necessary utensils.

    Very clean, what you see is what you get. This place is nothing fancy, but it's a great location for traveling around the peninsula and whale watching from Olafsvik. The kitchen is nice, with everything you need.
