Englendingavík Homestay

I was not going to rate this place as high initially, it is a bit quirky and check in is rather strange with a restaurant manager person checking you in in an offhand matter. But it met our needs and honestly was the best nights rest we have had all week. Nothing fancy but all you need for a night. Great coffee shop next door.

The good stuff - a well equipped, spacious room with a good shower. Amazing view over the water with good walking. Free, easy parking and a cracking cafe next door for breakfast. The less good - neither the door to the building nor that to our room had functioning locks. This being Iceland, perhaps not a major issue but a great leap of faith required when heading out for the day.

What a wonderful old house, we loved the cosy and nordic design in our room which was directly facing the water. The room had access to a little lounge area with a super comfortable couch and an equally great view. We felt very much at home after our long flight from South Africa. The Englendingavík Homestay is the perfect location to rest for a night before traveling further north to Snæffelsness. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed, we would have loved to explore the food and lovely interior.

Het gaat bij deze home stay vooral om de locatie. Wij als pensionado’s hadden behoefte aan een eigen badkamer dat kan maar daar betaal je voor. De kamer is klein, schoon en op de eerste etage, de douche was niet warm, wel koffie en thee faciliteiten geen ontbijt beschikbaar!

Posizione ottima a metà tra Reykjavic e la penisola di Snaefellnes, ideale come tappa intermedia. Piccolo paese a fornito con bakery, rifornimento e l'hotel è posizionato a fianco alla costa, dove è possibile ammirare un ottimo tramonto. Rapporto qualità prezzo un pò alto rispetto alla media generale, con qualche lacuna che può essere superata se si fa viaggio "on the road"

Lieu qui a du charme mais personne pour nous accueillir à l’arrivée (14h40) … un numéro qui nous enguirlande pour savoir notre réservation ?! Bref, on attend et heureusement, les cuisiniers du restaurant arrivent pour nous aider… au final, on visite 4 chambres pour trouver enfin la notre… Chambre petite mais ok… salle de bain ignoble pire qu’un formule 1 ! L’eau PUAIT ! Autant vous dire qu’il a fallu se boucher le nez pour se doucher tellement l’eau était nauséabonde ! Nous n’avons même pas osé boire… Pour le restaurant qui soit disant était ouvert… il était fermé ! Pourtant les cuisiniers étaient en train de faire la cuisine mais pour eux le soir car nous les avons vu mangé ensemble (3 personnes) dans le restaurant… Bref ! A fuir ! De plus, il n’y a pas grand chose à faire dans cette petite ville un peu moche avec un musée qui n’est pas non plus un incontournable d’Islande… bien au contraire !!! Passez votre chemin !

Uma casa típica islandesa muito bem aproveitada para hotel ainda que com espaços partilhados, como cozinha ou casa de banho. Muito bom gosto. Muito bem localizada em sítio bonito e junto ao mar. Lamentável que o restaurante estivesse fechado pois consta ser muito bom.

Guesthouse in una bellissima posizione sul mare, cucina abbastanza fornita (le pentole erano sporche.. ma ciò non dipende dalla struttura quanto dagli ospiti precedenti..), con cereali, caffè, sale.. a disposizione degli ospiti, una jacuzzi esterna (che non abbiamo utilizzato poiché coperta) e un salottino sul quale si affacciano le due stanze al pian terreno. I bagni sono puliti e dotati di bagnoschiuma e shampoo. Il wi-fi è gratuito. Consigliato!

El hotel es sencillo, el baño común está reformado, tiene secador de pelo. La cocina es común y está bien equipada, tiene lavadora. Las habitaciones de la parte superior son antiguas y hay que bajar una escalera hasta la cocina y el baño. El restaurante del hotel es bueno y los precios son asequibles.
