3-star hotels in Husavik
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Husavik, Iceland: 15 places, from town-centre guesthouses to farm stays and cabins outside it. It is for travellers who want a guest rating they can trust, a known set of facilities, and a clear idea of which part of the Husavik area each hotel sits in.
Staying in Husavik
Husavik is a small town on Iceland's north coast, known for whale watching from its harbour. The hotels on this list are spread beyond the town itself: several sit on named streets in Husavik, such as Ketilsbraut, Höfði, Adalbraut, Laugarbrekku, Stórigarður, Garðarsbraut and Vallholtsvegur, while others are on farms and in rural spots reached by road, including Raudaskrida, Norðausturvegur, Meiðavellir Farm, Hvammavegur Adaldalur, Skógar, Árhólar, Kaldbakur and Granastaðir.
That split decides who each place suits. Fosshotel Husavik (rating 4.4 from 771 reviews) and Hótel Húsavík (4.4 from 226) are the town addresses with the widest facility sets, including bars, banquets, breakfast and fishing; The Nest, Húsavík Guesthouse, Post Plaza Guesthouse and Skjálfandi are smaller town or near-town bases, several with family rooms or kitchen and laundry facilities. Couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to the harbour do best in town, while families and drivers may prefer the guesthouses and cabins outside it, where free car parking is common. Business travellers have a business centre and banquet space at Fosshotel Husavik, and free car parking at almost every rural property.
