Enjoyed our stay here. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Check in was simple, and the staff was very kind. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery stores. I'd stay here again.
Beautiful guest house. Large room with view of a volcano and most comfortable bed of my entire stay in Iceland. Modern bathroom. Very convenient to ferry. Easy parking. Very nice but not bougie just how I like it!
Comfortable rooms in great location to explore all of the island. Room was good size, with a comfortable bed and a couch for sitting, family owned, with friendly and helpful staff. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery store and the in-town activities including the Eldfell volcano.
The accommodation was clean and well equipped. There are 2 supermarkets nearby and the ferry is only a 5 minute walk away. I can recommend the guesthouse.

Wonderful staff. Barebones but clean accommodations.
The staff were very friendly and the room was comfortable. The shower was nice and the shampoo was soothing. Definitely would stay again if i return to iceland
Comfy and clean! Guesthouse Hamar is located super close to the ferry and there's lots of free parking around the building.
I'd recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Heimaey!
One quick overnight stay. Staff was very accommodating for our early arrival. Rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. Unfortunately, we had to leave early for the ferry departure and weren't able to enjoy the complimentary breakfast.
