Fosshotel Hellnar

Fosshotel Hellnar

10/10 Excellent
"We upgraded to an ocean-view room, which looked over the rooftops of the neighboring property and then the ocean. Nice to look at while sorting in bed. The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The heated floors in the bathroom get 6+ stars! Our included breakfast buffet had lots of choices, but the eggs, sausage and bacon were luke warm. Coffee machine gets high marks, too. The friendly and helpful staff warmly welcomed us and dinner in the onsite restaurant our first night was very good. We had the cod."

"The Old Post office was a large guesthouse very close to the Kirkjufell waterfall and mountai. The mountain was well seen from the guesthouse.
