Probably one of the best hostels I've stay in around the world. Great location with a breath taking view of the harbour and snow capped mountains. The hostel is clean and comfortable. The beds and bedding are some of the best I've slept in through the world. I would definitely return and stay longer next time.

On peut รชtre totalement indรฉpendant grรขce ร  une cuisine oรน on peut stocker ses affaires (frigo et paniers pour les produits dโ€™รฉpicerie).

Chambre spacieuse,celle avec double lits superposรฉs, lit infรฉrieur un peu haut pour un jeune enfant. Matelas comfortable, couette chaude, prises et lumiรจre ร  chaque tรชte de lit, un lavabo et miroirs,de la place pour les valises. Les parties communes sont propres et la salle ร  manger donne sur le port, nous avons vu le ferry arriver dans le fjord. Beaucoup de charme et bรขtiment avec une histoire.

Ostello molto datato. Confermo quanto commentato da altri viaggiatori: le pareti divisorie delle camere sono fatte di "carta velina", quindi la privacy รจ decisamente relativa. Molto suggestiva la sala comune con vista sul mare. Ottima soluzione per pernottare a Seyรฐisfjรถrรฐur con un rapporto qualitร /prezzo accettabile.

Simple, clean and comfortable

Our room and the common areas were clean and well-maintained. No interaction with staff but our room was ready and the key was in the door, so no need to check in. Enjoyed sitting in the dining area with a cup of tea after dinner, using the large table to spread out our maps to plan for the next day. Our private room was basic but clean and comfortable. Sink in the room and plenty of outlets for charging devices. Located across the harbor from dining and shops, reachable by a short easy drive.

Very nice hostel with a full kitchen with all the pots, pans, and utensils that you could ever need. There is a nice sitting/dining area over looking the harbour and the WiFi is good enough to stream Netflix.
