The hotel was really nice, as well as the staff and we had an excellent dinner in the restaurant. It is also quite nicely located near the sea with a nice view. If you are going around the Snaefellsnes peninsula, it is a great place to stay.

This was a real case of 'dont judge a book by its cover'. The outside of the building, above shops, looked less inviting than when we got inside. Inside it was just 'wow' with clean open spaces for sitting and preparing food. The kitchen had everything you needed with fridges for your food and as much tableware necessary for large numbers of people. There was a dishwaher and washing machines (chargeable). The bedrooms were clean and also sound proof for a good nights sleep. Everywhere was very clean. The staff were really friendly and helpful.
Welcome Apartments offers accommodation in Ólafsvík fishing village.

Property was clean, location was nice, wifi worked well!
Beautiful views of the sea, especially sunrise. Great mountain views. It was uncharacteristically cold and windy so no hiking but trails exist. Easy access to the national park with black beaches, lighthouses, lava tubes and volcano views. Nothing open in winter, you'll have to drive to Arnarstapi (5 minutes) or 30 min around the peninsula for any food or fuel.

Great location to explore the peninsula and lots of walks...
Great location to explore the peninsula and lots of walks from Hellnar along the coast. Eating options are quite limited but the food at our hotel was excellent so we were happy to eat there each night.
Remote, wild location just off the ring road, warm welcome, views (even on a rainy day), good room with comfy bed and bathroom with a strong shower. Dinner and breakfast both great. Also recommend the Frista Food Truck in nearby Arnarstapi for amazing fish and chips and quesadillas. Good recommendations from reception for spots to stop at on the drive back to Reykjavik, including seals on the rocks at Ytri Tunga. We also found a lovely little forest to walk through further on at Hofsstaðaskógur.
Beautiful location, perfect stop after coming in from airport and doing many activities on the peninsula. Amazing breakfast and friendly staff. Must do the walk Hellnar to Arnarstapi Hike behind the hotel. Perfect to do right behind hotel and go eat dinner in Arnarstapi and we ate at Stapin restaurant (amazing fish and chips and draft beer) and walked back. Perfect hotel
The location is great. The town of Hellnar is little more than a hotel, these accommodations, an old church and access to a wonderful seaside trail that starts at a charming little cafe perfect for a post hike beer or soup and bread. If the weather cooperates you’ll have great views of the glacier out one window and ocean out the other.
Great location as a mid-point overnight stop on a two day drive around the Snaeffelsns Pininsula. Really beautiful views out both the front & backdoors; glacier on one side, ocean on the other. Nice, clean restaurant and rooms. Able to accommodate a room for Parents and one child. Great espresso machine in the restaurant.
The location was amazing, the place was clean, and it was super quiet in Hellnar. It's also walking distance to the "hotel" in Hellnar, and they have a very good restaurant.
Hellnar was a perfect base for us to do some day trips around the peninsula. It's also close to some of the popular attractions.

It's a nice hotel on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The food is good and stuff is friendly. There's a big parking space. The location is great for panoramas and photos. We even managed to take some pictures of whales.
