Arnarstapi Cottages

Easy to check in, very close to Gatklettur. If you are checking in late, make sure to eat dinner before heading to Arnarstapi, as there is no restaurant open late.

I’ve toured the entire island and have stayed in really nice places to guesthouses and this place by far my least favorite. It sits very close to a beautiful place other than that nothing good to say. Very basic to the point that u can tell they cut every corner to save money. WiFi is non existent. Reaching out for any type of help was a joke. No idea that the lobby sat inside of a restaurant, had to look for 30 min with no help from staff answering messages. Shower felt like an accident waiting to happen , very plastic and slippery. For the amount I paid I expected a bit more.

No WiFi despite advertising it in the description. Technically, they provide a WiFi signal, but it disconnected constantly (it was at one bar of strength) and unusable. The room itself was clean and well-organized. I did like that overall, but I strongly dislike advertising amenities that don't exist, or are provided at a bare-minimum, unusable level. A dedicated router needs to be nearby, or one in each cabin. I was in cottage #1.

The cottage is very cute and cozy and exactly what we needed! One of the best stays of our 2 week trip. Big shower, big comfy bed and good blackout curtains. Contactless check in was very smooth as well

Cottage is very basic and rustic. Some cottages have parking in front, others do not. The bed was fine but the pillows were paper thin with one per person. Bathroom was clean but needed some tending to. Pictures look great online vs in person. If you’re looking for a decent location that is a bit budget friendly, the cottages are fine. Just expect a rustic look experience.

Unique location that allowed us easy access to walk around Arnarstapi.
