At Kirkjufell Hotel by Snæfellsnes Peninsula West Iceland - Grundarfjordur, travellers describe basic, quiet lodgings in a small harbor town with easy parking and convenient access to Kirkjufell, but frequently note unstaffed reception and self-service check-in.
Rooms range from very small to reasonably spacious, with comfortable beds but cramped prefab showers, thin walls, and occasional musty odors; some offer ocean or mountain views. Multiple reviews highlight many stairs and no elevator, making luggage handling hard. Breakfast is simple and adequate for a quick start for some, while others found it limited, required prebooking or extra payment, or ran short during busy periods. Overall, expect a simple, self-serve stopover near Kirkjufell rather than a full-service hotel.

A good basic hotel. I don't think there is an elevator in case that is an issue for any guests. It was not a problem for us. The included breakfast was OK. The hotel had a back deck with a hot tub and fire pit. Neither of them were in use while we were at the hotel. Rooms were very clean and reasonably quite. It was nice to have windows that open. The town around the hotel is small enough to walk everywhere. There are several eating options and a small supermarket. Would stay here again next time we are in the area.

No había nunca nadie para atender, ni a quien preguntarle nada. Llegamos luego de las 8pm y solo me dejaron la llave en el lobby con una nota con mi nombre. No nos dieron opción de desayuno y ni cómo pagarlo, solo lo tenían los preparados. En otros hoteles al menos daban café y chocolate 24/7. El problema es que no hay ni restaurantes ni tiendas alrededor y si el hotel no lo ofrece, pues estás en problemas. Sufrimos por ese aspecto, porque tuvimos que ir a otro poblado a comprar y todo cierra a las 6pm. Además, no tienen elevador y hay que subir todo por escaleras. Y el estacionamiento no es claro, horrible que está lleno de camiones y cosas que no son del hotel. Si llegas tarde, no hay nadie que te oriente y se siente inseguro.

Nice big comfortable room and the bed was excellent. Hauling the suitcase up the stairs might cause a few issues, though didn’t bother me. Lack of a reception seems to be an Icelandic custom that takes a little getting used to.

The towns on the Snaefellsness peninsula are very small - like populations of 100 - 2000 people. I note that just because of the numerous choices of amenities around this particular one. Walkable to restaurants, coffee, and a cute little grocery. We moved on to a much more remote part of Iceland after this stop, and missed the convenience we had experienced here. Felt safe and clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking. One side of the hotel faces the ocean, the other Mt Kirkjufell.

This is what you would expect for a budget level hotel in the US. I'm not sure if there is such a thing in Iceland. The hotel is clean and rooms are comfortable. Showers are very small pre-fab units. Breakfast is very basic. Don't expect more than some basic fruit, cereal, toast, boiled eggs etc. Management seemed to have staffing issues. Breakfast could be overrun easily with little staff to help. There was not a bar.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Kirkjufell Hotel. It's important to note that Grundarfjordur is a small town on the northern coast of the peninsula -- not a place where one should or would expect a 5-star hotel. Instead, what you're seeking is a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay the night while enjoying the beautiful outdoors, which is exactly what Kirkjufell Hotel provides. The hotel is charming in the way that urban hotels lack, with bird and fish identification posters hung in common areas because they are relevant to guests. The lounge areas, though modest, are comfortable, and the included breakfast was a typical Icelandic breakfast buffet with yogurt, cereal, meats, cheese, breads, etc. Our rooms were also typical, perhaps a little larger than the hotel rooms we enjoyed in Reykjavik and elsewhere. The one note that may be important to others -- I don't think there was an elevator, though it's possible we overlooked it since we were just staying on the second floor.

The hotel has 2 levels with only a narrow upright staircase which is very difficult to carry suitcases. The staff was immature unsociable and unhelpful. Also often unattended by staff. The room walls are thin so the noise is loud. The pipes are loud. The fire alarm went off and no one was around to help for a number of minutes and they did not know how to turn it off. On a positive note the beds are comfortable and the shower is nice.

The room was spacious and had a nice view but overall the experience was very bizarre. Literally didn’t see a single employee the entire time we were there. We arrived and the key to our room was on the front desk with a note. The restaurant was closed and there was no way to get something as simple as a bottled water. Nobody there in the morning as we were departing. Definitely the weirdest hotel experience I’ve ever had.

Location was minutes away from Kirkjufellsfoss and near a gas station and grocery store. The check in was super easy, just grab your key in the reception. Only problem, there were no check in instructions. Good thing another guest was nice enough to inform us. The room was spacious but the hallway has a bit of a smell. No kitchen but breakfast is available for a fee. Good place to rest for the night. Nice backdoor view of the ocean.

Had some issues during our stay. Front desk clerk seemed indifferent and really did not seem to care. I have the feeling that the owners are only in it to for the money due to high demand for accommodation in the summer, not to be in the hospitality business. Breakfast was very simple, but adequate. Rooms and hotel in general feel very worn and dated, again, I think the owners are in it for the money. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom very cramped with tiny sink. Not in the most pleasant location but convenient to the small town. Would only stay here if no other suitable options are available.

Location
Convenient base near Kirkjufell/Kirkjufellsfoss and walkable to a few restaurants and a small grocery in Grundarfjordur. The harbor/industrial setting lacks charm for some, though many found it quiet and practical for sightseeing.

The hotel was comfortable, convenient and clean. It was in a great location to stay very near to kirkjufellfoss. Nice little town to walk around too.

Location was minutes away from Kirkjufellsfoss and near a gas station and grocery store. The check in was super easy, just grab your key in the reception. Only problem, there were no check in instructions. Good thing another guest was nice enough to inform us. The room was spacious but the hallway has a bit of a smell. No kitchen but breakfast is available for a fee. Good place to rest for the night. Nice backdoor view of the ocean.

The room itself was clean and the breakfast was adequate. The hallways smelled a little musty but you couldn't smell it in the room itself. The staff was accommodating and nice. It was very close to Kirkjufell mountain and waterfall.

Dining
Breakfast is basic and adequate for a quick start, but access and service vary: some guests needed to prebook or pay extra, and items sometimes ran out or felt overpriced.

The booking was not as requested. They had no breakfast included. We had to pay extra. Our room was not as requested. Our booking was for two beds. When asked for a new room with this accomodation the staff person became very flustered. The hotel lost power at breakfast. The staff was unaware and had to be summoned to fix. Food ran out at breakfast. Staff seemed bothered by replenishing.

We did enjoy dinner at a place in walking distance of the hotel and it was delicious. That was the only place that was open at the time. They didn't have a lift in the hotel, so we had to carry our luggage up a couple of sets of stairs which was kind of annoying, but we made it work. The room was spacious and worked out for what we needed. Breakfast wasn't an option for us since didn't pre-select it when we booked the room, so that was a bummer. No one wanted to make the exception to it and offer it. So we just figured something out the next morning. We did come on a day when it was raining and gloomy, so it might have been different if the weather was nicer.

This is what you would expect for a budget level hotel in the US. I'm not sure if there is such a thing in Iceland. The hotel is clean and rooms are comfortable. Showers are very small pre-fab units. Breakfast is very basic. Don't expect more than some basic fruit, cereal, toast, boiled eggs etc. Management seemed to have staffing issues. Breakfast could be overrun easily with little staff to help. There was not a bar.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Kirkjufell Hotel. It's important to note that Grundarfjordur is a small town on the northern coast of the peninsula -- not a place where one should or would expect a 5-star hotel. Instead, what you're seeking is a clean, comfortable, friendly place to stay the night while enjoying the beautiful outdoors, which is exactly what Kirkjufell Hotel provides. The hotel is charming in the way that urban hotels lack, with bird and fish identification posters hung in common areas because they are relevant to guests. The lounge areas, though modest, are comfortable, and the included breakfast was a typical Icelandic breakfast buffet with yogurt, cereal, meats, cheese, breads, etc. Our rooms were also typical, perhaps a little larger than the hotel rooms we enjoyed in Reykjavik and elsewhere. The one note that may be important to others -- I don't think there was an elevator, though it's possible we overlooked it since we were just staying on the second floor.

We loved the place and the hotel. The room was a bit small, but downstairs there's a piano, a pool table, chess, other games. The staff (from CEE) was super-friendly and helpful. They gave us perfect instructions on how to tour the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and where, when, and how to best see the Northern Lights. They even arranged for a small communal Aurora watching with the guests.

A few restaurants are near by the property which is a nice option, would have been nice if the room was a bit bigger. The location is great if you’re planning to go to kirkjufell mountain.
