Hafaldan HI Hostel - Harbour Building

Love the history of the building & in general the hostel is a very good one, even having a sauna in the basement, which I didn’t have time to make use of unfortunately. One major negative was the lighting in the shower area, I was up early & the only one in the showers. In the middle of my shower, the lights went off. Potentially very dangerous as I had to grapple around in the dark, put a towel on & exit the shower to switch the basement lights back on. So, the basement lights are on a timer. Bare that in mind if you are down there alone.

We booked the apartment which was very spacious, could easily accommodate 4 with a fold out sofa as well as a double bed. Included our own kitchen and bathroom facilities. The apartment was light and airy, private and had a lovely feel. Shower fitting a bit dodgy and some early morning heavy footed stomping, but to be expedited in a hostel and an older style building. Certainly not enough to put us off staying again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the vibe of both the hostel and the whole town was very positive. Some excellent hiking directly from town into the surrounding hills.

Manager is kindness, and kitchen is very equipment & spacious. We will recommend tourists here. We have a good time in hafaldan hostel. Location is near church and beautiful scenery. 숙소의 가성비도 좋고, 직윈이 매우 친절하여 우리가 3년전에 예약을 하였는데도 불구하고 예약의 연기와 환불도 해 주었다.

Perfect place to visit East Iceland, in a nice city by the sea. The hostel is equipped with an excellent kitchen and nice amenities. The personnel is very nice, and so is the building. Also, perfectly located in the town center.
