Guesthouse Hamar

The ferry to the island was cancelled due to bad weather (8 Sept 2023). We called and emailed the hotel to explain we could not arrive per our reservation -- something they certainly would know. Hamar never answered or responded. In desperation, called ******* for help the same day. ******* called back the next day, informed that the hotel would not work with us or *******, and the hotel would still charge us as a no-show. (Since there were no doubt day visitors stranded on the island, would not surprise if Hamar ended up renting our room anyway). Beware.

Nice guesthouse, big rooms, easy to find, simple check-in. Would stay again when we return. Thank you!

Guesthouse Hamar is in a great location, only a few blocks from the ferry (leave your car on the mainland if you don’t really need to drive on Westmann Island). The room was a lot bigger than I thought. Shower was a little tight, but ok. Breakfast was included which was good as well. Walls are a bit thin, but there wasn’t anyone up late, so it didn’t bother us at night. Very happy with this 1 night stay.

very great location. it’s a family owned place . very well received and taken care . made us feel like in home

My family really enjoy our stay at Hotel Hamar. We had family room spacious and very clean. If you take a look you can see it isn' a new Hotel, but you will see how clean everything is. In Vestmanneyjar you don't have many option if you need Hotel, special in summertime. We was quite lucky when we got our booking confirmed. Staff is friendly and are doing good job, breakfast is simple and good in spacious dinner room. We was in short distance from almost every interest thing in town, and perfect to take tour with Viking Tours local company with perfect guide. All restaurant within 5min walk. Ferry Herjolfur 3min away. I can recommend this hotel because how clean it's. That's sign of good staff.

The location is perfect, breakfast delicious, large room and very friendly family run guesthouse. We highly recommend.

We found our key on the desk at 7 PM; no one was around. If you’re older and have bags, beware that there is no elevator. Now good things: Bed was comfortable, room was clean, excellent location downtown near restaurants. Recommend you spend extra to bring your car across on the ferry. This island is a delight to explore by car.

This ia great place to stay. The room is very spacious. The breakfast was enjoyable.

Set in the perfect location with a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived. The breakfast was lovely and tasty and the rooms were spacious, clean and cosy. We truly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend the RIB speed boat trips and the trips to the puffins and volcano on the island. A lot of rich history and wildlife to be seen here, we loved our stay! I would recommend Tanginn restaurant for great food and service too.
