What guests think
At Hótel Fransiskus Stykkishólmi, travellers highlight very clean, simple rooms, friendly staff, and a quiet harbor-side location that's walkable to the lighthouse, ferry, and restaurants, making it a convenient stop.
The property is a former convent with an active Catholic chapel attached, which many find unique while a few feel uncomfortable. Rooms are generally basic and comfortable, with many offering scenic views; recurring comments mention some small layouts, limited amenities, occasional TV or Wi-Fi issues, and rare noise or maintenance problems. Breakfast is widely praised for variety, though hot options or Skyr may be missing at times, and there is no on-site restaurant for other meals. Expect a simple, comfortable stay in a scenic, walkable setting.

We were surprise to find out that hotel Fransiskus is also a church. It is a pretty big hotel with very simple but extremely clean rooms. Breakfast was rich and provided everything we needed. The staff was attentive and helpful. Parking is available and the town is in a walking distance. We had great dinner at Narfeyrarstofa downtown - Excellent!!

Guter und für isländische Verhältnisse günstiger Aufenthalt. Mein Einzelzimmer war groß genug mit ausreichend Stauraum, nur eine Kofferablage hat gefehlt. Bad ist ebenfalls ausreichend groß, was ja in Island nicht immer der Fall ist. Das Frühstück ist einfach, aber ausreichend, es wird auch immer gut nachgefüllt. Die Lage ist gut, nur einen Steinwurf vom Hafen entfernt, wo auch die Fähre Richtung Westfjorde ablegt. Nur die Parksituation ist nicht so gut; wenn das Hotel voll belegt ist, kann es sein, dass man keinen Platz mehr bekommt und in der Nähe auf der Straße parken muss.

Unusual for being a hotel with its own Catholic Church. Adequate rooms overlooking harbour. Breakfast choices different to the norm - no Skyr (!) and cold baked egg but amazing selection of seeds and chicken soup on offer. Just 350m from Baldur ferry and fabulous fish and chips food cart even closer (no restaurant at hotel).

This hotel is directly connected to a retirement home, and they're finicky about where you park. I had to move our car around back... where none of the doors can be opened. So then I had to walk back around to the front. But otherwise, we had a really comfortable stay and a nice breakfast the next morning.

Although the combination of hotel, church and hospital in the same building seems strange, this is a very nice place. The rooms appear newly refurbished and very nice. Some of the rooms have a good view over the harbour. The breakfast is also well supplied and with service. There is, however, no dinner restaurant in the hotel, and since the restaurants in Stykkisholmur are very small, they were all occupied, so I recommend that you make a dinner reservation in advance.

Our hotel room was clean, roomy, and had just what we needed for our 2 night stay. The staff who greeted us was welcoming and friendly. The town is rather small so any hotel in the area would have sufficed. However, it is very conveniently located by the docks if you are planning to visit West Fjords as well. Our room was located next to this area which had some seating for guests to lounge in so we were able to overhear a little bit for one night but it was brief as they did not stay there for long - it posed as no issue by the time we went to sleep. This hotel also offers breakfast in the morning which was definitely a money saver! :) There is also a parking lot available for guests. It looked like it may have been full by the late hours but it seems like there was sufficient space to park close to the parking lot even if it wasn't in marked spaces.

What’s unique is the fact that there’s a functional Catholic Church within the hotel. The Easter service echoing through the hotel was unexpected but not a big inconvenience.

Stayed for the last leg of our trip. Two nights. Large room (3 beds, 1 double, 1 twin). Good size bathroom with shelf. TV in room, but per staff management was dealing with contracts. But there was a TV in lounge that got service (?). Breakfast buffet available (the buffets in Iceland always included hard boiled eggs, fruit, cheese/meat platter, veggies, pastries). This was the only buffet that did not include the Icelandic yogurt...missed it!.

This was a great little hotel on the hill of a small quaint adorable town. The rooms were small, but they were comfortable for 2 people. Located within walking distance to anything you'd want from the town. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. This hotel is definitely a little different. It used to be a convent for nuns as it sits right next to the towns hospital. The rooms and hallways feel like it. But, it was cheaper than the Foss Hotel down the road and was comfortable enough for a 1 night stay. The breakfast in the morning was a little strange, but it did the job as there wasn't much else in town open to eat at the time. Would highly recommend if you're just stopping in town for a night! Clean and friendly and good value.

The property is a convent with all the expected charm of a convent. The televisions do not work. The room had the plumbing sound of running water over the bed for much of the night. The views were nice of the harbor but the windows were very dirty. There is no landscaping other than a parking lot shared by a retirement home. The centerpiece of the lobby is a 1970s chapel and a life sized mural of Jesus. There is a Stale smell throughout the facility. No restaurant or facility other than breakfast room. Breakfast was acceptable. We dined at the far superior nearby Foss Hotel which was within walking distance.

We stayed in a family room for 4 and it was perfect. The beds were all proper beds and this being our 4th night in Iceland, it was the most comfortable by far. The room was clean and spacious. Kettle could be requested at the front desk. Had the view of the harbour from the room and what a lovely sunset view Grear location with short walk to the harbour. Will definitely recommend this great hotel.

Parking lots are below the building. You need to walk up a bit, but not difficult.

My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Daniel and Sam were incredibly friendly and hospitable and made our time in Stykkishólmur memorable. They both went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and meeting them was the highlight of our trip. As an LGBTQ couple we felt very welcome and safe. Our room had an amazing view and was very clean and comfortable (the pillows were amazing!). Breakfast each morning had rotating options and plenty to choose from, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Thanks again Daniel and Sam, we will absolutely be back next time!

Et surtout un personnel qui ne dit meme pas bonjour ni au petit dejeuner ni dans les couloirs... hallucinant... le tout dans une deco insolite tres tres catho (ca aurait pu etre sympa...) mais tres tres froid... passez votre chemin, il y a bcp mieux avec guesthouse dans le meme village ou encore a Borgames (hotel varmaland moins cher et top)...

This was a great little hotel on the hill of a small quaint adorable town. The rooms were small, but they were comfortable for 2 people. Located within walking distance to anything you'd want from the town. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. This hotel is definitely a little different. It used to be a convent for nuns as it sits right next to the towns hospital. The rooms and hallways feel like it. But, it was cheaper than the Foss Hotel down the road and was comfortable enough for a 1 night stay. The breakfast in the morning was a little strange, but it did the job as there wasn't much else in town open to eat at the time. Would highly recommend if you're just stopping in town for a night! Clean and friendly and good value.

What a great stay! Three nights staying here as we explored Snaefellsnes and West Fjords. Beautifully furnished room with three windows overlooking the harbor. Walking distance to the three restaurants in town and a nice bakery. Great breakfast and pleasant, helpful staff.

Stayed for the last leg of our trip. Two nights. Large room (3 beds, 1 double, 1 twin). Good size bathroom with shelf. TV in room, but per staff management was dealing with contracts. But there was a TV in lounge that got service (?). Breakfast buffet available (the buffets in Iceland always included hard boiled eggs, fruit, cheese/meat platter, veggies, pastries). This was the only buffet that did not include the Icelandic yogurt...missed it!.

Unusual for being a hotel with its own Catholic Church. Adequate rooms overlooking harbour. Breakfast choices different to the norm - no Skyr (!) and cold baked egg but amazing selection of seeds and chicken soup on offer. Just 350m from Baldur ferry and fabulous fish and chips food cart even closer (no restaurant at hotel).

Such a beautiful location in a beautiful fishing town. We could see the lighthouse from our room and the sunset. Staffs are very nice and the Chappell inside the hotel was so peaceful! Breakfast is good, no hot selection though but it was quite sufficient with lot of options.

we were so sad that we only spent one night here. This is a beautiful place with a lot of history. Cute town and we saw the northern lights here. The host at the front desk was so sweet and nice and very knowledgeable and took great care of us. Wish we could have stayed longer

Diana at the front desk was super nice and very helpful. Hotel was great and the cleaning service was as well. We (2 of us) had a view of the water from our room and right at the end of the hallway was seating with a view of the harbor and water which was really nice. There was a great variety for breakfast. We stayed three nights and it was very comfortable. We made reservations at Skipper’s restaurant for dinner which is close by. Fish and chips were delicious. Topped it off with the lava cake, yummy. Overall stay was wonderful!

Great hotel . It’s very close to the ferry (west fjords connection ). Surprisingly the hotel is part of a previous convent/school/hospital . It still has a functioning beautiful church chapel . The hotel is very clean , and the only hotel in our 15 day trek through Iceland that actually provided housekeeping on the second day without asking .Overall beautiful little town close to the national park .

Hotel Fransiskus was one of our favorite stays in Iceland, We had some queries before we reached but Diana at reception was a great help and very respectful and responsive. She made sure to answer all our questions and guide us about the restaurants near by. We had a nice quick chat with her when we reached. The breakfast buffet was good too. We loved our experience here and recommend the place a 100%
