Known as Vestmannaeyjar locally, the Westmann Isles are Iceland’s most important and newest island group, just 5,000 years old and still active volcanically. The latest addition, Surtsey, came courtesy of an undersea eruption in 1963. Because of their youth, the islands are especially rugged and are renowned for their sheer cliffs, which serve as home to huge bird populations (10 million puffins alone live here). As for people, Heimaey is the only island in the cluster that’s inhabited.

Hotel Vestmannaeyjar is located in the heart of Vestmannaeyjar town. Although distances are short on the island it is convenient to have all the services you require with in walking distance. The hotel opened its expansion in April 2014 with 24 new spacious rooms. The hotel has now 43 rooms. All rooms have a 10-channel flat screen TV, phone, and free high speed wireless internet connection. The hotel has beautiful views of Heimaklettur to the north and Helgafell to the south.
One of the best hotels. It was my third stay here and I will choose it again every time. Excellent location on the wonderful island of Heimaey, my room had a view over Eldfell and Helgafell, the two volcanoes on the island. The staff is friendly and helpful, the room was spatious, clean, comfortable and it had everything I needed. There is a restaurant, a sauna, luggage storage options and the staff is always there to help you. Great value for money and a pleasant place to stay while exploring beautiful Vestmannaeyjar.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more beautiful looking building on the archipelago. It’s got all the modern amenities you would expect from a guesthouse. Comfortable double beds with memory foam mattresses, flat-screen TVs, access to free parking, an outdoor picnic area and complimentary WiFi and a Personal hotspot the whole trip in Iceland. Plus, many of the guest-rooms have fabulous views looking out over the mountains.
Við gistum tvær nætur í íbúð 4. Staðsetning er mjög góð, úrval veitingastaða allt í kring og stórt bílastæði fyrir utan. Íbúðin er lítil en býður upp á allt sem þarf í styttri ferðum. Fyrir lengri tíma væri betra að taka stærri íbúðina. Húsið er fallegt og verður glæsilegt þegar eigendur hafa lokið við framkvæmdirnar. Risastór plús að mega hafa gæludýrið sitt með!

We are located in a quiet and convenient area at Illugagata 7, only about 10 minutes walk from the ferry dock. We offer one apartment for five with a private entrance and 7 different rooms. Breakfast buffet available between 1.june-31.august. Free wireless internet connection. Shared bathrooms. Guesthouse Árný is a comfortable and friendly place to stay at whilst visiting The Westman Islands. I give effort in assisting my guests with helping tips in planning their stay here.
We got a 3-person room by the kitchen for two nights which was perfect for the two us plus our two young boys. Room, shared bathroom and other accommodations were very clean. Host was welcoming and exceptionally helpful. Location is within short walking distance of both centrum and Herjólfsdalur.
The apartments in The New Post Office are all fully furnished apartments ranging in size from 28 to 38 square meters. They all come with a private bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and dining table, living room and a private balcony. They have either a double bed or two single beds and an extra sofa bed is in the living room, along with a smart TV that has access to Netflix. Of course we offer our guests free Wifi. You have access to storage, for example for your bike or your golf set. A shared general space on the ground floor has a lounge, ice machine, the largest sundeck on the island, bathrooms and more where you can get together, meet the other guests and relax.

Das gabze Gelönde war im Augus 2021 eine Baustelle. Unser Cabin war eigentlich hübsch, aber leider ungepflegt und total lieblos. Heizung war defekt und spuckte grünen Schleim ins Bad. Interessierte aber niemanden. Cabin konnte nicht geschlossen werden, da Schlüssel nicht auffindbar war. Man könnte so viel mehr aus diesem Ort machen. Zudem sind die Preise exorbitant. Teuerstes Nachtessen ever. Schade
