Sunnuberg Guesthouse

Sunnuberg Guesthouse

8/10 Good
"Located in Hofsos, small town, as others have noted, the details says restaurant but there is not one on site or even in the town. There is a convenience store across the street that has pizza and sub sandwiches, that is the only nearby dining option. The kitchen is nice but small. The whole time we were there two ladies in the other room camped out in it. Be aware also that it's not clear the actual property from the photos but it's the 8th or 9th photo. Not the black house. The rooms are simple but clean. Shower is a little small but you have your own. The local pool was great, stunning views and a nice little walk after off to the side to view basalt cliffs."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Hofsós?
The best area to stay in Hofsós is within the village itself, particularly around the harbour and the main street.

Hofsós is a small, charming village, so staying within its compact centre means you're always just a short walk from everything. The main street, which runs parallel to the coastline, features a few guesthouses, a general store, and a restaurant. The harbour area is picturesque, offering views across the Skagafjörður fjord and a glimpse into local life with fishing boats.

For couples seeking a peaceful retreat, staying in the heart of Hofsós is ideal. You'll be within easy reach of the Hofsós swimming pool, known for its stunning infinity views over the fjord, and the Icelandic Emigration Centre, which offers fascinating insights into Icelandic history. The village provides a quiet base for exploring the beautiful surrounding natural landscapes.

Families will also find Hofsós a convenient and relaxing place to stay. The small size of the village means children can explore easily, and the local playground is a popular spot.
When is the best time to go to Hofsós?
The best time to go to Hofsós is during the summer months, from June to August, for the most comfortable weather and extended daylight, or between September and March for the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights.

For those prioritising pleasant weather and outdoor activities, the summer is ideal. You'll experience the famous midnight sun, with nearly 24 hours of daylight, which is superb for hiking along the coast, exploring the village, and enjoying the Hofsós Swimming Pool with its stunning views over Skagafjörður. This period is particularly good for families looking to make the most of the long days for sightseeing and outdoor adventures without the chill of winter.

If experiencing the Northern Lights is a priority, then late autumn, winter, and early spring (September to March) offer the darkest skies. While the weather can be colder and daylight hours are short, the lack of light pollution in Hofsós makes it an excellent spot for aurora viewing. This time of year is often favoured by couples or solo travellers seeking a unique, tranquil experience focused on nature's light display.
