About this stay

Grundarfjördur Hostel is a practical budget base for travellers exploring the Snæfellsnes peninsula, set in the village of Grundarfjörður itself. After a day on the road, free parking is available on site, and the rooms are individually decorated rather than dormitory-plain. Shared facilities include a fully equipped kitchen, useful for cooking your own dinner, and a TV lounge for the evening. Bathrooms are shared. Most rooms look out over the town, and Kirkjufell, the peninsula's best-known mountain, is a short drive from the village. Snæfellsjökull National Park is about 30 minutes away by car, which makes the hostel a sensible stop for a loop around the peninsula. Free Wi-Fi is included throughout the property.

Our take

Grundarfjördur Hostel is a sensible budget base on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The rooms are individually decorated, parking and WiFi are free, and the shared kitchens let you cook rather than eat out every night. Bathrooms are shared too, so it suits people who are relaxed about that. Snæfellsjökull National Park is 30 minutes by car, which makes day trips easy. I recommend it for budget-minded families, couples and drivers touring the peninsula.

  • ✓Cook in the shared kitchen to keep a Snæfellsnes trip simple and flexible.
  • ✓Ask for a room with a view over the town when booking.
  • ✓Use the hostel as a base for Snæfellsjökull National Park, about 30 minutes away by car.
