Gotuhus - Sea View Apartment, hotel in Hellissandur

Set in Hellissandur in the West Iceland region, Gotuhus - Sea View Apartment features a patio and mountain views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace and free WiFi.

Amazing location with panoramic views over the sea. One wakes up and falls asleep to the sound of the waves. The apartment is very spacious, the bedroom is a decent size too and the beds very comfortable. Parking on site. The terrace is no longer shared with the neighbours, a wooden wall has been built to divide the terrace so each apartment has their own private part.

Situated in Hellissandur in the West Iceland region, Brenna: Cliffside Apartment has a patio and mountain views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace and free WiFi.

It was the best place we stayed in Iceland so far. The whole apartment was super cozy and warm. Sleeping with the sound of the sea is amazing. While we were there there was a blizzard and we were actually happy because by being stuck we could enjoy the place more. Super recommended

    Place and people are nice,

    Place and people are nice, the right position to visit Snaefellsjokull National Park and the west of the peninsula. There are no easily accessible restaurants and shops, you have to provide all your supplies. In the hostel, you have a nice functional kitchen, refrigerator, and a small bar to buy drinking and snacks: light beverages, juices, potato chips, and smarties. To find milk, bread, and food, you have to wait for the day after, at the nearest shop with a minimum 15 km run. Once you organize yourself, life is comfortable, and friend are nice.

    Small, quiet town along the water near the tip of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It is quite beautiful in the area with sites nearby. The location is great if you are spending two days touring the peninsula. The murals are fun to view but that's about all there is to do in the town itself.

    We were trying to find a hotel close to the Snaefellsjokull Nat'l Park. Now that we have been there, we would opt for staying on Olafsvik (with 2 restaurants for dinner) or go to other side of park at Hellnar or Arnarstapi. Hellissandur didn't have much going on, except Gilbakki Kaffihus is very nice for mid-morning snack, lunch or afternoon break. Very nice people.

    I went to climb Snæfellsjökull, a 30 year ambition. Weather was horid, glad to not be spending the next 300 year as part of a glacier. Lets say it was an exciting day and not for those without experience with Ice weapons.

    This is a fun, characterful and quirky self-catering apartment in a village on the end of the peninsula. Think student house with nothing matching, but it doesn't matter because you chose it and there's books to browse and swap. Take a book to leave there. We had supper in the nearby town of Ólafsvík, as the restaurants in Hellisandur were closed in the low season. The village has amazing street art.

    The Freezer Hostel is probably one of the coolest places I’ve stayed at in Iceland! It’s beautifully decorated with a lot of art and characters, even the rooms are covered in art! The rooms were nice, beds comfy and the kitchen was pretty well equipped- you’ll find everything you need. The staff is super friendly, happy to tell you all the fun stories about the places or help you plan your day.

    The location is terrific, with spectacular views of the ocean through large "picture windows" in the living room and bedroom. Given that Hellisandur is such a small town, Gotuhus is within easy walking distance of the restaurants, gas station with groceries, the legendary The Freezer culture club and hostel, and the entrance to Snaefellsjokull National Park.

    Everything about this stay was great! The place had great vibes and was very comfortable to stay at and hangout. The staff was wonderful and were very welcoming! I ended up staying at a quiet time so had a room to my self basically, but felt very comfortable and welcomed throughout the hostel. I would definitely stay again if I came back to the area!

    I loved everything about this place! The kitchen had more utensils than most people have at home, so many choices of board games, and all the books! Made you feel like you want to stay for a month to discover everything on the shelves! Such a great idea for an apartment! Do not miss a chance to get breakfast served by a real viking in RAM Iceland!

    So this was the best accommodation in Iceland for us. Amazing atmosphere, lots of ideas, books, messages on the walls, wonderful. The atmosphere draws you in, calms you down, it's simply wonderful, and that includes the equipment that is just right to fit into this atmosphere. And the viking (beer) in the fridge was the icing on the cake.

    Freezer Hostel has a huge living room, with musical instruments, many books, games, coffee & tea, very warm and inviting, and immediately feels like home! I even made some music with one of the staff (flute & guitar), met many great people. This is probably the best (or one of the best) hostels in Iceland.

    Beautiful, cute and quaint house. Loved staying here. Very responsive hosts. Would highly recommend! Great location to explore the peninsula. Restaurants in town were all closed for the season but we found restaurants 10 mins away and a grocery store so no problem. Loved the murals in this town also.

    Great location overlooking the water in the small town of Hellissandur at the tip of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. We did a two day trip along the peninsula from Reykjavik so this was a perfect location for the night. Enjoyed reading a book in the living room and watching the ocean.

    It was perfectly located to explore Snaefellsnes. Quiet, clean and very relaxed. Fantastic big lounge/chill out area with lots of board games etc. It’s a hostel so don’t expect a hotel but we really enjoyed our stay.

    The first morning we got a breakfast box for each one and it was not very good. The second morning there were more people in the hotel and breakfast was served and each person choose what to eat, much better.
