Find the Cheap Arnarstapi Hotels

Nice set up with multiple cottages on one side of the road (further from the water) and the hotel on the other side (closer to the water). If view is important to you, then the hotel might have better access to water view as some of the cottages probably look at the buildings of the hotel. Luckily my cottage was at the east end (room 11) so my window had an unobstructed view of the water, and my door could see the hotel/water as well. Check in is at the Arnarstapi Center (where the restaurant is) and that’s also where you park your car. It’s a short 1-2 min walk to your cottage. But you are allowed to drive up to your cottage to unload luggage before parking your car a bit further. The inside is basic but lights were functional. Kettle, microwave, and mini fridge. We didn’t want to eat at the restaurant so bought a sandwich before coming here and microwaved it to heat it up. Would be nice if they provided basic utensils and plates. I had no problems with wifi as some others have had. Fast connection, could watch Netflix. It is true there is limited hot water (~5 min) but my partner and I just showered 1 hour apart at the end of the night. Both had hot water and with the expectation it would be short lived. It’s nearby to the trail by the waterfront including the stone bridge which was pretty. I would stay here again if I drove into the peninsula again.

Perfectly fine but if you’re budget conscious, this isn’t the place to spend extra $$. After looking at options on the peninsula, this seemed like the best option, even though it was more expensive than other options. The view was great but not really worth paying more when all we really wanted was good food and a comfy place to sleep. Did not love our meals, pretty bland overall. Also, the pillows on the bed were flat. The room was clean and the staff were friendly, but not a great value for what you get.

The sea view room has a good view and the restaurant has a good view. The restaurant is not open at noon but serves coffee, tea and small bread throughout the day. There is a bit awkward when the room needs to pass through the restaurant. Overall it was great and the service staff was especially friendly!

I loved this restful hotel by the water. It was so nice to be able to watch the sheep grazing next to the shore and pass by the window in the bar area. We had a comfortable room with a little balcony that we couldn't access. The room wasn't very big, but the bed was very nice, and we got a good night's sleep. I also liked the shower. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were fine, and we also enjoyed some wine in the bar. I wished we could stay another night and just sleep, or read a book, watching the water and the sheep while sipping wine. What a beautiful hotel!

The worst ‘ Hotel ‘ I’ve ever had the misfortune to enter. Without a doubt the most expensive although I admit I may not travel a lot. The staff if there were any present may be able to sort problems out but in a bid to cut costs you have to ring for a room number and code….if they answer. Rude and seemingly ignorant after about 35 phone calls. Avoid at all costs and you won’t be disappointed. The rooms themselves I have no issues with. The management of the building is terrible and considering it’s £240 per night their object seems to be to just rip the tourist off. The lowest pint of my visit to Iceland by a long way. Companies like this should not survive on business.
