Good place, just ensure get right room
The location is ideal, couldn’t be better. And our room ended up being simple yet lovely. They had however promised us online a room with a kitchen, sofa & view & when we got there - they at first showed us one with none of these, and blocked windows. Not ok. A very nice woman we found did move us to smaller nice room, with view.

Great hotel; informal staff; pleasant visit
Great little hotel! Check-in was just a phone call to the proprietor and he told me which room to go in, and that I would find my key on the table (which it was!). Hotel was right on the street, but it was quiet. It was very clean and roomy for an Icelandic hotel. We had three in our party (Me, my wife, and our 26-year-old daughter) and they had a fold-out couch for our daughter to sleep on. Extra linens were in the closet. (Except for the excessive snoring in the room, she slept great....) Good restaurants down the street and across the street. Parking was off-site (on the street), but there were no issues. Wifi was faultless. TV worked fine and we found English channels. Vessmannaeyjar is a charming island with a lot of interesting things to do: (look for puffins; climb the 1973 volcano; go to the Volcano Museum - very accommodating proprietor there, as well....) Breakfast choices were limited but we found a decent donut shop kind of around the corner from the hotel. Highest marks to these folks! I would visit the island again, and I would certainly stay at Hotel Eyjar again!

A pleasant stay on Westman island.
We had a really nice stay at hotel Eyjar. We arrived much earlier than the check in time and were given our room right away so we could deposit our backpacks. The breakfast was also excellent.

Good if you don’t get the bad room
Not sure if it’s because I booked my room through Hotels and my friends booked through Booking for same room type but my room was small and shower was impossible to work or broken. Bed was so very hard. 3 of my friends had rooms with microwave fridge and couch. We couldn’t find anyone to check us in so left after roaming through building and knocking on doors. Came back later to find someone there. After check in she left again. Park on street where you can. Pizza place up the street is very good and reasonably priced. Seafood restaurant within walking is very good with great fish and chips.

Not a full-service hotel
Not really a full-service hotel (no front desk/reception). Arriving at 10AM, the site was locked, had to call someone to open the door for us. Cleanliness was not outstanding. Overall, value for the price paid was not outstanding

Rude Owner
Was told by the owner at check in to remove my shoes because he didn't like dirt in his hotel..said to me "I don't like that...Nobody likes that!" We just got off the ferry, my shoes were fine. Besides, this is not his own personal home, this was hotel I was spending $300 to stay in with my family. Breakfast was included, I request at 7 AM, and again he was unhappy with this time, he thought it was unnecessarily early. Again, challenging me on every little thing. The hotel has four floors but no elevator and he condescendingly be moaned about all of our luggage and asked if you're moving to Iceland, but not in a jovial way. Oddly we only had one carry-on piece of luggage each. Three small bags total. we travel light on purpose. Suffice to say this cantankerous owner does not deserve your business. There a much nicer selections elsewhere.

Great location, pretty nice room. No reception, but good service from the person who came when we called. There was a bit of noise during the night, some odd sounds like a drill at 5am keeping us up.
