Basic room and excellent breakfast. The highlight here are the bird cliffs - not to be missed - that are best viewed early in the morning or in the evening.

It's the only hotel in the area but they really do things right. Great staff, good food, and such a different experience. I'll admit it was weird being somewhere where Wi-Fi wasn't readily available, but it also made it fun. It's a lovely hotel in such a desolate but yet beautiful Northern Ireland. Highly recommend!

Great location for easy access to the puffins at Latrabarg cliffs. Room was small but very adequate and the block out blinds worked really well.

I loved everything about this place! Remotely located, surrounded by dramatic and beautiful landscapes, and super nice staff. They offered to wake me up to see the northern lights, and also prepared me the biggest breakfast to go. I’d love to come back some other time!

The hotel was a very Icelandic "stretch" facility with a dozen rooms or more in an unattractive row. Once inside, though, the accommodations were good. The best was the staff, especially the owner, who went out of her way to keep us entertained long after opening hours. THE PUFFINS is why you want to be there. Of all of the places in Iceland, these Puffins were the most accessible, and least overcrowded by tourists.

Amazing customer service! The woman who helped us was very kind and helpful. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious too. The only thing that would have made it better was the bed. Ours tilted down near the head so it felt like we slept upside down all night. Otherwise great place, would recommend!

Very close to latrabjarg cliffs. The room I paid for was pretty small and outdated, but the whole building was a bit rustic so it was ok. The beds don't have blankets which was a bit annoying. There weren't shower facilities avaliable (i may be wrong and didn't know where to look) and I paid 52 Canadian for a cod fillet and soup. Could've been better but staff are really nice and the location is great, it was clean too.

If you come between aug-Apr, do not stay in this place. They charged for using kitchen and bed linens separately $24/person. I end up has to used my sleeping bed on the bared bed. If you want to use kitchen another $24/person. And there is no puffins on the cliff in Aug. And free wifi only works in the lobby not the room!!!

NO shower available if your room includes only a shared bathroom. NO bath towels provided, so be aware before you book of these limitations! Guests will need sleeping bag for their bunk beds because no bed linens provided, so bring your pillow cases. Rooms have one electirc outlet only, so choose between your room light and charging your phone or laptop. The kitchen facilities are basic and do not have paper towels. The Bird Cliffs are a 3o minute rough and dangerous dirt road trip each way, and the puffins are not as plentiful. The

Closest to the Latrabjarg Cliffs puffin colony!
Hotel Breidavik is all about location, location, location. Its not a place you stumble upon by chance, it's specifically the closest place you can stay to the puffin and other bird colonies at Latrabjarg Cliffs. And this is an area mostly serviced by rough, unpaved roads, so being close makes it much more likely that you will go and see the birds multiple times, even during a short stay. And it makes it easier to bird watch late at night when the birds remain active. The nearest town with multiple hotels to choose from looks close on a map but is almost an hour away because of the road quality, whereas Hotel Breidavik is just a few minutes from the bird action.
The hotel has a combination of rooms with private bathrooms, rooms with shared bathrooms, basic rooms without linens, and also a campsite. This is quite an interesting combination, and ultimately very useful, as there are unusual features like laundry facilities and a shared kitchen and eating area, in addition to the more expected bar and restaurant.
But plan ahead - you need to check in advance where gas stations and supermarkets are. And the (long) drive to Breidavik is a bit more relaxed (and takes less gas) if you take the Stykkishólmur to Brjánslækur ferry, perhaps both ways, perhaps even with a stopover on Flatey Island. But taking the ferry reduces the number of supermarkets you'll see on the way from two to one!
Hotel Breidavik is a fantastic find with the friendliest owner!

Se vai nei fiordi occidentali non ti aspetti di alloggiare in un bel hotel ed in effetti così è stato ma visto che sei in un posto sperduto e bellissimo te ne freghi e ti godi tutte le bellezze che ci sono fuori dalla camera. Buona la colazione

Die Zimmer waren viel zu heiss und zu stickig. Es gab nur ein kleines Oberlichtfenster zum Lüften. Kein Waschbecken auf dem Zimmer somit hatten wir keine Möglichkeit wenigsten die Zähne zu putzen.
In dem Duschraum keine Waschbecken. Das Wasser aus den Duschen kam nur töpfchenweise.
Personal sehr freundlich und die Lage des Hotels war wunderschön. Das Frühstück war ok.
Mir hat die Unterkunft nicht gefallen. Ich komme nicht wieder
