3-star hotels in Vestmannaeyjar
This shortlist gathers 3-star hotels in Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland, with guest ratings from 3.9 to 4.8 out of 5 from up to 1269 reviews. It is for travellers who want a well-rated, mid-range base in the town or the surrounding Vestmannaeyjar addresses.
Staying in Vestmannaeyjar
Vestmannaeyjar is the name that runs through every address on this list, yet the individual hotel addresses name different spots: Steig, Brekkum, Skógarfoss, Klettsvegur 3, Suðurvíkurvegur 5B, Mýrarbraut 13, Lambafell, Árbakki, Forsæti Iii, S250 Dimonavegur and 861 Hvolsvöllur. The hotels therefore sit both in the town and in its rural surroundings, so a short break here can be spent close to the harbour or out among the farm and cottage addresses. Free car parking appears at most of them, which suits guests arriving by road.
Couples and short-break visitors tend to gravitate to the top-rated houses: Black Beach Suites at 4.8 out of 5 from 1036 reviews, Hotel Selja at 4.6 from 193, and Hótel Búrfell at 4.2 from 175. Families are served by the family rooms at Hótel Dyrhólaey, Árbakki Farmhouse Lodge, Guesthouse Carina, The Garage and Brú Guesthouse, while business-minded guests may prefer Hótel Dyrhólaey with its 24 hour front desk, banquet and fitness centre, or Hotel Selja with express check in and copy facilities.
