Húsavík Green Hostel

Húsavík

Set in Húsavík, Húsavík Green Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The property is non-smoking and is located 47 km from Godafoss Waterfall. I really couldn’t fault it. Beautiful and comfortable and I liked that you had to leave your shoes at the door which made the place cleaner. I can’t believe I’ve forgotten the front desk’s name, but they were incredibly helpful and friendly and we had a great laugh about the Eurovision movie while they were telling me about things to do in Húsavík. Plenty of parking and a great central location to be able to walk everywhere easily. I would stay again and for longer!
