Ósar Hostel

Vatnsnes

Facing the beachfront in Vatnsnes, Ósar Hostel has a shared lounge and a bar. The hostel also offers free WiFi and free private parking.

Guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All guest rooms at Ósar Hostel come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. This beautiful old guesthouse exceeded our expectations a lot. It is rebuilt from an old milk farm and has a lot of maze-looking cozy spaces, rooms and levels - each with hidden gems, from ancient family relics to comfortable resting areas. Nice wooden room was more spacious than the property photos show, and the sea view was a pure pleasure. Everything is very clean and has home-like spirit in it. The owner is very kind, he told us about the house and also gave several valuable hints which allowed us to see the seals in the nearby area. Very romantic place to stay!
