Description

Sólbrekka Guesthouse is a small, two-star accommodation located in a former school building in Neskaupstadur, Iceland. It offers a range of room types including Standard, Family, and 1 Bedroom Cottages, with amenities such as free WiFi, a bar, terrace, and free parking. Guests appreciate the clean rooms scoring 8/10, and the well-equipped shared kitchen and comfortable common areas. While the rooms are often described as simple and modest in size, the guesthouse provides a quiet retreat with impressive fjord views. Pets are not allowed and breakfast is not served onsite. The property is rated 8.6/10 overall, reflecting good service and amenities for its category. Its remote location means it is best suited for travelers seeking peace and nature rather than a base for extensive sightseeing.

Location

Sólbrekka Guesthouse is situated in the village of Brekka, within the Fjardabyggd municipality, about 125 km from Hornafjordur Airport (HFN). The guesthouse lies at the end of a fjord, accessible via a steep, winding gravel road that takes approximately one hour from the main highway (Highway 1). Nearby, guests will find a small cafe at the guesthouse itself rated 9/10, but no other stores or restaurants are close by. The isolated location offers stunning views over the fjord and a peaceful atmosphere, but the drive requires caution due to the narrow and sometimes challenging road conditions.

Tips

  • Bring your own food since there are no stores nearby and breakfast is not served.
  • Prepare for the drive with a suitable vehicle, preferably a 4x4, due to narrow and gravel roads.
  • Pack entertainment or board games for downtime, as the guesthouse offers a quiet, peaceful setting with limited nearby activities.

The drive is dangerous and challenging to get here on the one road in but the place and the views are amazing. Much better than the hlid hostel in comfort, size, and amenities. Would only come here out of your way if you need to though and it adds 1.5 hours at least in driving time round trip.

Super nice remote Fjord. We saw a MinkeWhale just in front of the pier . A small fuel station - no idea if it works and who to contact. Road here is awesome . Not “dangerous” at all. It’s a normal mountain road

It's a lovely guesthouse in a former school building, with a small room but a comfortable common area and a well stocked kitchen. Beautiful views of the fjord. The area is a bit isolated--just a tiny village, and it takes over an hour to get there from the main road by a steep winding dirt road. We hiked up the hill, but the trail isn't well maintained. It's a great place for peace and quiet, but not as a base for exploring the eastern fjords.

The smell is terrible. The bunk bed is terrible as well and it is overpriced. Hard to get to, but that was not an issue. The issue is that everything is outdated and it was very expensive for what she offered.

Welcome to Iceland's smallest village and best kept secret. The drive is an hour from highway 1 with lot of hairpin bends and gravel road. But the view is breath taking. If you're looking for a camp site or guest house in a peaceful place, Sobreka guest house is a diamond. The fjour is beautiful and peaceful. 6/5.

Everything went well. It is a very calm relaxing area. The cost is reasonable considering the location is an hour drive from the nearest town. Most of the drive is a single gravel road next to water which is beautiful but it would be a little scary in the dark. Overall a solid place!

Absolutely life changing to be out here in the peace and quiet… And it was literally that, just the sounds of nature, fresh breeze and glorious sights! Accomodation was simple but did the job, for the serenity I would come here again any day! Just a bit difficult to get to on the gravel… I suppose it adds to the feeling as not many people come or go… ❤️

Very clean and quiet. The road leading to the guesthouse has some amazing views. Perfect place to end the day after all the driving and sight seeing.

+ Shared kitchen with everything you need.
+ Clean rooms.
+ Mini shop for snacks.
+ Board games and LEGOs for kids.

Superb location at the end of not so superb road... Especially during the rain it could be a challenge... But the rooms are clean, kitchen is well equiped... Just don't forget to bring your own food cause there is no store around... Overally very cheap accomandation one hourish from the ferry port
