Stykkishólmur Inn is not just a hotel — it’s the largest artwork in town, where each hallway, room, and corner tells a story of something that almost happened.
Our rooms are cozy, simple, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and curiosity. Whether you’re staying in a small double or a larger room, expect:
Comfortable beds with quality linens
Private bathrooms with modern fixtures and soft lighting
Minimalist Icelandic design with occasional quirky touches
Wall murals and art installations just outside your door, part of the hotel-wide exhibition of “almost-true” history
Each floor features a different near-myth or unrealized dream — from UFO landings to peace summits. The public areas (lounges, hallways, stairwells) are part-gallery, part-time capsule.
You’ll find:
A welcoming lounge with seating and story fragments
Surreal murals inspired by real ideas that nearly happened
Calm, quiet, and clean rooms with personality — never clutter
A feeling that your stay is part of something a little bigger
Whether you're here for a night or a week, you’ll sleep inside a story.
This isn’t just a hotel. It’s a map of Icelandic dreams.
Staying at this hotel on the way back to Reykjavik from the Snæfellsnes Peninsula is a great option, as the surrounding environment is beautiful. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean, the restaurant serves delicious food, and there's a wake-up call at night to remind guests to watch for the Northern Lights. The service is excellent, and we were fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights on the night of our stay – it was truly spectacular.
We visited Kirkjufell, Budir Black Church, and Arnarstapi, and this vacation home is also not far from Ytri Tunga Seal Beach. The location is excellent, the rooms are clean, and there's a kitchen, making it perfect for a large family trip. My family was very satisfied!
It was such a quaint place, but unfortunately all week we were there it was under construction, so noise from hammering and drilling was very annoying since this was booked specifically for meditation and writing of my book.
Very satisfied with a stay. We chose this hotel’s cabin, which is about 50-100 meters away from the sea, with the glass door facing the black mountain in front. It's about a distance from the front desk, but you can park in front of the door. There are 5 cabins connected. Because we have two people staying together, the front desk specially left us two relatively adjacent cabins. This night’s stay was great. The cabin was not special in appearance, but it was well equipped with kitchen equipment, dining table and sofa, and the bathroom was also great. There are also very good heating facilities, which can be switched on and off at any time. That night we cooked dinner in our room and went to the open-air hot spring pool outside the hotel. We could also make free hot chocolate in the lobby. We went to the beach to watch a perfect sunset at 10:30 in the evening.
The hotel is a bit similar to a camp, there is a sculpture park, very special, there are hot springs, streams, and a group of white swans living on the mountain. The environment is very good. I see the aurora at night. Unfortunately, there are too many clouds and most of the aurora are blocked.
The hotel room is as cool and clean as other hotels in Iceland. Because there are no street lights, it is very suitable for photographing the aurora. I just don’t know why I was given a room at the farthest end.
We added bed linens with additional charges but then we need to install it ourselves. We are already tired travel from far and setting the bedlinen ourselves is unacceptable.
For the men's shared bathroom( not the toilet), the floor is full of dirt, without slippers it is very bad experience. I was showering with naked feet because I only travel with shoes. As there's a short distance from room to the bathroom that need to step through murt, other traveller slippers also became dirty and just walk into shower area with slippers on.
There's plenty of space for shared kitchen which is awesome, but the auto door lock made it very inconvenient for a single person that is in middle of cooking and need to open door for partner, because 1 room is only given with 1 set of keys.
I did not expect that the full windowed view of waterfall is only for ordering meal, oherwise I would rather spend 1 meal there for the scenery, sadly I missed the awesome breakfast.
The location is excellent, the scenery is stunning, and the environment is tranquil and pleasant. We were lucky enough to see a beautiful rainbow on our arrival day, which added a pleasant surprise to our trip. Dinner was excellent, with exquisite cuisine and outstanding flavors, making it one of the most memorable meals of our trip. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay.
The hotel is located right next to the Stykkishólmskirkja Church, and around 10-15mins walk to the city centre/ferry terminal. It is a convenient stop for us travelling from the north to the west side of Iceland. The hotel room has a nice view. Basic amenities are available. The shower room is only separated from the toilet by a ‘moveable’ glass and water might spill elsewhere when you shower. Overall a decent stay.
Very Good

NnayaijThe last stop on our island tour, from Akureyri to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, was here. The hotel is located by the sea, far from any other towns or shops, yet it boasts breathtaking views. Rooms vary in size and price. The showers lack doors, making it easy for water to splash out. The hotel offers complimentary tea and coffee. There are no restaurants nearby; the hotel has a buffet dinner, but it's expensive and the food is mediocre. Breakfast is not plentiful, just enough to fill your stomach. The service was average.
SSobolevAlexanderComfortable location. Very clean and neat. View to the sea (but it is not close, or to the mountains). Breakfast is very modest - bread, cheese, ham, cooked egg. Breakfast is not available. The common shower is combined with the toilet - one for 4 rooms.
GGuest UserQuiet and clean hotel with lots of facilities which allow guests to enjoy. We arrived at the hotel late (after 9pm) and the hotel restaurant was still able to serve us food that was way beyond our expectations - the waitress was extremely kind and helpful. We were also able to catch the northern lights which was a pleasant surprise considering the time of the year (August). Overall, we are very pleased with our stay here.

GGuest UserHotel Fransiskus is a former monestary and still has a church and a seniors facility attached to the building. My room was modest in size, but the amenities were good and I enjoyed the view of the ships as well as the opening window which allowed me to enjoy the sea breeze. The young man at the front desk was very helpful and friendly.

KKarincute place, everything is very DIY, we havent't met anyone from the hotel until the next morning. apparently you get a code to open the door by email but we spoke to a few guests and none of them had received it, so you'll need to be able to make a phonecall to reach the owners to get the code to get in...
HHoEugeneEasy self-check in, which was great for us because we reached near 11pm. Beds were comfortable, heating was good. Best part was breakfast. Shared kitchen was well stocked with pans, eggs, milk, salami, oil, sauces, for cooking. Had a satisfying breakfast complete with coffee, juices and yogurt.
