Húsavík Cape Hotel, Husavík Hotels
Traditional family-run hotel with mountain and sea-view rooms, a library, and a Eurovision-centric bar and restaurant
Overview
A leisurely ten-minute walk will take you to the renowned Geosea Geothermal Baths, where you can soak in naturally heated waters while enjoying panoramic views. Alternatively, in the same amount of time, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating world of marine life at the Whale Museum, a perfect prelude to an unforgettable whale watching tour departing from the harbor.
For those eager to explore further afield, geological wonders such as the majestic Goðafoss Waterfall and the dramatic Ásbyrgi Canyon are within a convenient 40-minute drive. However, you might find yourself perfectly content staying local and discovering the many charms of Húsavík. After all, this is Iceland’s oldest settlement, a place steeped in history, dating all the way back to 870 when a Swedish Viking first made landfall here.
The hotel features a pleasing variety of accommodations, ranging from standard rooms to self-catering apartments ideal for extended stays. The décor thoughtfully blends traditional seaside elements with modern touches and amenities, including relaxing bathtubs and practical blackout curtains. Families will appreciate the availability of rooms with multiple beds or even bunkbeds, capable of comfortably accommodating up to six individuals. While some rooms offer views of the neighboring building, it’s highly recommended to opt for a mountain or sea-view room to fully appreciate the breathtaking natural surroundings.
Húsavík is the star of the show here, and the hotel embraces that completely. Head to the on-site library to delve into local history through fascinating artifacts. The globally popular movie, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, unexpectedly catapulted Húsavík into the spotlight. To celebrate this unique claim to fame, the hotel features a dedicated Eurovision exhibit, offering insights into the film and the iconic pop music competition. Don’t miss the hotel’s themed bar and restaurant, Jaja Ding Dong, inspired by the movie. The menu is an Italian Eurovision-themed one that is guaranteed to delight, even if you’ve never seen the film or the contest.

Wifi – Check On RequestIceland
Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
