A visit to Hotel Bjarg has been part of my hunting trips to East Iceland every year since 2009, where you meet great hospitality and feel next to home. Don’t expect a five star hotel with it’s 8 rooms (one of the is actually a suite!), pool table, TV hall and a bar, but the service is very personal. "Karvel", the owner, is always willing to share his knowledge and personal experience from different places ranging from Los Angeles to Fáskrúðsfjörður and you could say it’s a family affair as his two sons help him operate the kitchen and run the hotel.

I would recommend Hotel Bjarg for those who are looking for excellent personal service while touring the island and have Karvels family cook you a great Icelandic dish that he specializes in!
