Welcome to our hostel

Iceland is all about fascinating geography and Árbót Hostel is a great base to start exploring from. The hostel is surrounded by diverse bird life and beautiful nature, and is located on a farm where horses and cattle are bred giving guests a unique opportunity to experience real Icelandic farm life.

The facilities at the hostel are basic but you will not be spending your time indoors. Some of the attractions to visit include the beautiful Lake Myvatn area which harbours volcanic activity - the region is covered in lava and interesting geological phenomena like canyons, pseudo craters, hot mud and steam springs.

Bath in nature’s own hot tubs in Jarðböðin with temperatures reaching 38-40 degrees. A 10 minute drive away and you will find the nearest town, Husavik, where you can book a great chance to whale watch on fantastic tour boats.

Great place out in the nature. A bit tricky to find without Google maps. At the end of a bumpy road, but all very nice and friendly people.

El hotel es correcto. Cocina muy grande y limpia. La única pega es que el baño tiene ducha y WC dentro por lo que bloquea al resto de miembros cuando alguien entra aunque solo quiera usar una de las dos cosas.
