Austursigling

Þórbergur hefur verið á sjónum frá 16 ára aldri og þekkir fjörðinn og lífrikið eins og vasana sína. Hann veit hvar best er að kasta fyrir fisk og getur kennt ykkur að gera að og hantera veiðina. Að sigla um Seyðisfjörð er einstök lífsreynsla. 1000 metra há fjöll spegla sig í djúpum lygnum firðinum. Fuglabjörg ganga í sjó fram og æðurinn lónar í fjöruborðinu. Ef heppnin er með má koma auga á hval.

Best Hostel Ever!

The hostel is just beautiful, cosy and warm. Staff is really nice and helpful. The owner is a generous and funny person. The common room is together with eating area and really big kitchen. Breathtaking view from every other window. Bathrooms clean and modern. Beds comfy. Interior? I fell in love with that interior <3 Loved it there so much.

A home away from home.

We stayed in a room with a private bathroom, everything was so very well maintained. The Hostel had a fully equipped common kitchen and lovely area for enjoying your meal and visiting with travellers from it seemed all over the world.

Highly recommended!

Welcoming, well-maintained hostel in gorgeous setting.

Seydisfjordur is well worth a visit, and this hostel is the perfect, low-key place to stay. Converted from an old hospital, it’s got tonnes of character and charm. It’s a spacious building, with a large, well-equipped kitchen. We had a private room, which was clean and airy. Friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely stay again if I was in the area.
