Fosshotel Stykkishólmur

Fosshotel Stykkishólmur

Fosshotel Stykkishólmur is a 3-star hotel located in the beautiful fishing village of Stykkishólmur.

Stykkishólmur, sometimes called the town of a thousand islands, is in the Northern part of the Snaefellsnes peninsula. The town exudes a charming ambiance, thanks to its vintage homes that transport you to a bygone era.

With a population of approximately 1,100 people,  Stykkishólmur saw its first development in 1550, when the natural harbour allowed for the creation of a trading post. The town experienced further development while the Danish Trade Monopoly was in place. 

Perfectly positioned for an adventure in West Iceland, Fosshotel Stykkishólmur is close to key attractions such as the Norwegian House, the Shark Museum, and the Library of Water. Moreover, the harbour is a hub of activity, offering ferry trips to Flatey Island and the Westfjords.  

Want to explore further afield? The Snaefellsnes peninsula is a paradise for adventurers, featuring lava fields, basalt cliffs, legendary caves, and the Snæfellsjökull glacier. It is also home to Kirkjufell, or Church Mountain, which stands 463 meters above sea level and is said to be the most photographed mountain in Iceland. 

As of August 2024, all of our hotels have received Green Key certification from FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education), making us the first fully sustainability-certified hotel chain in Iceland.

One of the most famous landmarks in Iceland, Snæfellsjökull is a 700,000-year-old stratovolcano with a glacier cap, situated on the most western part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The crater served as the entrance to the fantastical subterranean world in Jules Verne’s classic 1864 novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and the Peninsula also found fame in the 90s when thousands of people congregated to welcome aliens to Earth.
