Guesthouse Básar — Hotel in Akureyrarbær

Is there a way to make of an already wonderful place as Grimsey an unforgettable paradise? The answer is yes. At Básar Guesthouse. The hotel is at the airport facility. If you come by boat it takes some minutes by walk, but the owner Gagga came to pick us by car. She is a professional and attentive host, always available in case of need. Breakfast is majestic. What you need to spend the day making excursions and hiking around the island. Rooms and beds are super comfortable, warm and welcoming.

We were on the island for summer solstice celebrations and were invited to the fish buffet prepared by the women of the island which was a...

She loves to drive and shows the island well. She is so proud of her homeland. She has a lot of knowledge of Iceland and is so willing to share. She was willing to do anything for us. ||Not only did she provide adequate towels, but wash clothes! Not something I have seen in Iceland and Europe. The shower and water pressure was great! ||The marker for the Arctic Circle is not too far away. A nice little hike up and then down and back again. So...
