Westmann Islands Hotels | Places to Stay in Westmann Islands

August 8, 2022 Claudia Navarrete

Known as Vestmannaeyjar locally, the Westmann Isles are Iceland’s most important and newest island group, just 5,000 years old and still active volcanically. The latest addition, Surtsey, came courtesy of an undersea eruption in 1963. Because of their youth, the islands are especially rugged and are renowned for their sheer cliffs, which serve as home to huge bird populations (10 million puffins alone live here). As for people, Heimaey is the only island in the cluster that’s inhabited.

A great hotel at my favourite location

Reviewed By GeorgianaDany

One of the best hotels. It was my third stay here and I will choose it again every time. Excellent location on the wonderful island of Heimaey, my room had a view over Eldfell and Helgafell, the two volcanoes on the island. The staff is friendly and helpful, the room was spatious, clean, comfortable and it had everything I needed. There is a restaurant, a sauna, luggage storage options and the staff is always there to help you. Great value for money and a pleasant place to stay while exploring beautiful Vestmannaeyjar.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more beautiful looking building on the archipelago. It’s got all the modern amenities you would expect from a guesthouse. Comfortable double beds with memory foam mattresses, flat-screen TVs, access to free parking, an outdoor picnic area and complimentary WiFi and a Personal hotspot the whole trip in Iceland. Plus, many of the guest-rooms have fabulous views looking out over the mountains.

Öll fjölskyldan velkomin ?

Við gistum tvær nætur í íbúð 4. Staðsetning er mjög góð, úrval veitingastaða allt í kring og stórt bílastæði fyrir utan. Íbúðin er lítil en býður upp á allt sem þarf í styttri ferðum. Fyrir lengri tíma væri betra að taka stærri íbúðina. Húsið er fallegt og verður glæsilegt þegar eigendur hafa lokið við framkvæmdirnar. Risastór plús að mega hafa gæludýrið sitt með!

Kerlingarfjoll Mountain Resort

Lieblose Unterkunft, im 2021 eine Baustelle. Lage wäre genial

Reviewed By Manuela_Bern

Das gabze Gelönde war im Augus 2021 eine Baustelle. Unser Cabin war eigentlich hübsch, aber leider ungepflegt und total lieblos. Heizung war defekt und spuckte grünen Schleim ins Bad. Interessierte aber niemanden. Cabin konnte nicht geschlossen werden, da Schlüssel nicht auffindbar war. Man könnte so viel mehr aus diesem Ort machen. Zudem sind die Preise exorbitant. Teuerstes Nachtessen ever. Schade
