Hotel Breidavik

“Un de nos meilleurs souvenirs d'Islande, dans cet extrême ouest fascinant.”

Even though it’s old, the hotel is quite charming; the bunk beds in a tiny room are clearly advertised. The location is exceptional and the food is very good, especially the fish, and the owner is very attentive.

“Preis und Leistung stimmen hier nicht”

The location is great, fresh bread and pastries at breakfast, and the staff are very friendly. The facilities are old, sometimes shabby, with exposed bare bulbs for lighting, night‑stand lamps are present but there are no matching tables or the sockets are missing; if I get a place like a 60s youth hostel, I’d expect to pay only the corresponding price.

The staff were super friendly and the spot is nice, everything is very clean, but the building still feels a bit odd, hinting at its history.

I stayed in a wild, quiet spot that was spotless and comfy, with great bedding, a hearty breakfast, clean bathrooms, and a welcoming host.

“Einfach, rudimentär, sauber - in dieser exponierten Lage gerne wieder.”

Right from the start I noted that the place is far from any convenient infrastructure and feels more like a “luxury Alpine club hut”; I’m convinced the operators deliver an outstanding service. The rooms and showers are simple, which I see as a notable achievement rather than mediocre. When I arrived, there was no tap water because a pump had failed the night before the solar eclipse—everyone was told about it, it was uncomfortable (no toilets), but the issue was fixed quickly even in this remote corner of the world. The evening menu was modest, but like breakfast, a gluten‑free meal on request was no problem. Despite the extra strain from the influx of tourists during the eclipse, the staff were very friendly. On the northwest edge of Iceland, reachable only after a few hours of driving, the hotel is far from supermarkets. The building seems to have seen better days, probably because it’s close to the Arctic Circle and must endure harsh conditions that I, as a Central European, don’t want to experience. Still, it’s clean, the food is simple yet very good, and for food‑allergic guests a request is handled without issue. With higher guest traffic it would be nice if the communal showers were cleaned more often. I put this under “What didn’t you like?” because, as mentioned, it’s a basic accommodation that would be judged differently in a tourist‑filled centre. Considering all these geographic and infrastructural factors, this is a deserved luxury that, in my view, merits recognition from the operators.
