Hvoll Hostel

Kirkjubæjarklaustur

Set 26 km from Kirkjubæjarklaustur in the South Iceland Region, 40 km from Fagrifoss, Hvoll Guesthouse features a barbecue and views of the mountain. Systrafoss twin falls is 24 km away.

All rooms are fitted with a shared bathroom. Hvoll Guesthouse features free WiFi . Fantastic place, perfect little room. The place has everything you need in the common areas, multiple sinks in the kitchen, lots of tables and chairs. I saw a washing room as well. Our room for 3 was comfortable and had a sink. Bathrooms outside have no issues, they are decently sized. Note that you can't go up from the kitchens in your shoes and you are requested to take them off for the stairs and your room which are carpeted. This is a self check-in accommodation and you can arrive late, like we did at 11PM. The house is located quite away from anything really, you can gaze stars outside in the night. Note that the road leading here is a gravel road, follow your map closely to make the correct turns.
