    Spectacular location, great food, hiking and factory tour, amazing place to visit.

    We had a room in the "cottage" outbuilding, which had a great view of the close-by water and mountains, but it was tiny--one dimension was just a few inches longer than our bed, and the other was perhaps four feet wider. We shared a bath with the other room in the cottage.

    Djupavik is in a wonderfully remote area on the Strandir coast. It's reached by a well-maintained gravel road that follows the shoreline. The village itself is tiny, with the hotel as its only business. The hotel buildings are historic structures that were originally part of the fish processing plant from the 1930s, which is still standing. The hotel manager/chef gives an outstanding tour of the fish factory, very highly recommended. There's an art gallery with rotating exhibits in the factory. An excellent Icelandic breakfast is included. Also available are very good homemade soup and bread at lunchtime, and really delicious lamb, fish and vegetarian meals at dinner. The dining room is cozy and filled with interesting artifacts. The staff members are friendly and accommodating. Exploring the shoreline is interesting, especially at low tide. Hiking in the area is excellent, and the hills and waterfall above the town are interesting to explore.

    breakfast? improvable. I was surprised when asking for a slice of cake, this was paid for. for the rest, everything is ok

    the owner very nice. structure nestled at the end of an Icelandic fjord. The exterior is very charming, with a disused herring factory and a shipwreck adorning the context.

    Exceptional Experience at Hotel Djupavik: A Delightful Stay, Warm Welcome, and Awe-Inspiring tour!

    A babbling creek runs beside the room, which I absolutely adore because it enhances my sleep quality. However, it might not be to everyone's liking, so it's worth taking this into account before booking.

    I had the privilege of staying at Hotel Djupavik, and it truly ranks among the most exceptional places I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. The breakfast was delightful, the warm welcome from the staff was even better, and the tour of the nearby fish oil factory was simply awe-inspiring. The atmosphere here makes you feel like a cherished friend rather than a mere guest. Absolutely fantastic!

    Nothing!!

    Hotel Djupavik is a very quaint old fashioned hotel near the old herring factory of Djupavik. The owner himself gives tours of the herring factory at 10:00 am. Fascinating history. We learned a lot! The rooms are plenty adequate and there is even a sink in each room so you can brush your teeth without having to step out of your room. Breakfast was excellent and we also had a wonderful dinner. We recommend that hotel if you want to experience something different and step back in time for a day!

    What a place to stay, it was definitely worth it! But remember you have to drive 46 km by gravel road to get there. We drove a city car Ford Fiesta (without 4x4) and we've done it! Going there by such a car, you should count around 1,5 h one way. But with these views and sense that you are in the middle of nowhere, it was such a positive thrilled adventure :) For us this town Djúpavík with a Hotel Djúpavík was the best thing, which we came across in the whole Western Fiords. Definitely worth visiting!!

    It’s good to be aware of the 44km dirt road. Normal SUV is fine but take it cautiously on the narrow parts.

    Wonderful history of this building and town. Great staff - great food. Take the 1000 tour of the herring factory. Amazing experience. If you are needing 2 rooms, take the cottage rooms and then you just share a bathroom for the 2 rooms.

    It is quite noisy as the walks are thin but they provide each room with ear plugs

    Great little cosy family hotel / guesthouse with good food and beautiful surroundings. This is remote and local family style, like you are staying over at your far uncle and aunt that you haven’t seen for a while and they are artistic and turn out to be telling great fun stories of the sea vibes, so if you are into that this is the perfect spot!

    Nothing - it was incredible from start to finish

    Hotel Djúpavík was one of our favorite stays in all of Iceland. They provided us with a “home away from home” feeling and took care of us in more ways than one. We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff and the owners were exceptional, the food was AMAZING, and the rooms exceeded our expectations. I recommend that everyone stays here during their trip to Iceland.
