North West Restaurant & Guesthouse

Out in rural Hvammstangi on Iceland’s north coast. A small hotel & restaurant about a 12-minute drive from Kolufossar Falls and close to Lake Vesturhópsvatn, Borgarvirki and the Icelandic Seal Center Museum. A handy base for coastal walks, seal watching and quiet countryside days.

Just 9 guestrooms with simple, clean décor and flat-screen TVs. Rooms have private bathrooms with showers, desks and daily housekeeping; some rooms offer garden views and cribs/infant beds are available free on request. The place feels like a tiny lodge with a calm, family-friendly vibe and a handy library and picnic area on site.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout, a terrace and garden to take in the views, plus a bar/lounge and snack deli. Expect a relaxed rural pace and easy on-site features like a restaurant with mountain views and a small collection of guest-friendly spaces for reading or picnics.

Front desk staffed during limited hours. Free self parking is available onsite.

On-site restaurant serves a varied menu with mountain views and options for most tastes. There’s also a bar/lounge and a snack bar/deli, and continental breakfast is offered daily (available for a fee, served 7:30–9:30 AM).
