To our surprise we got a one bedroom apartment with kitchen and living room, all very clean and nice at a very good price.  The service was very good and we couldn't have asked for more basically.  We are definitely coming back.

Clean and spacious apartment and great service.

There are several types of apartments at Holar C&A. We stayed at one of the very nice and roomy cottages, good beds, kitchen, good showers. We also enjoyed the geothermal swimming pool & Sauna at the premishes. Will certainly stay there again when in Skagafjord. This is one of the most interesting historical places of iceland with history back to 1000, the first learning institute of Iceland was established there in 1106, a Latin school and later a church school. Site of the icelndaic Bishop for centuries. Today there is a University in the old Agricultural College, teaching Tourism and Community affairs, Horsemanship & breeding as well as Aquaculture offering degrees up to Masters and PhD.

One  of the "good" places of Iceland

IF you can get a cottage, this place is amazing and was the best place we stayed on our Icelandic trip (we stayed in mostly guesthouses and average hotels).   It is very interesting, as it's at an equine science university, so we felt like we were getting a real Icelandic experience rather than staying in a tourist trap.

Our cottage was clean, roomy, and offered a full private bathroom (with laundry facilities!), kitchenette, living and dining area, and sleeping for 5 (two beds, a single bunk bed, plus a sofa sleeper for 2).  Also had a patio with two patio chairs.  The kitchenette had a fridge, oven, sink, cooktop, and was fully stocked with dishes (incl wine glasses) and cookware.  We were also provided with towels and bed linens/pillows.  There is no wifi offered (although I am sure we could have asked?) and there is a TV.

They do have a restaurant, but the night we stayed was when the students were arriving back to the fall semester, so they only offered a 'burger bar', which we didn't want.  We drove 20 minutes into Hofsos for dinner instead, which was fine.  We did have the buffet breakfast the next day, which was plentiful and offered many great choices.  The grounds also have a small bar - my husband went there late at night to buy beer.

The surrounding area is beautiful, and they also have a swimming pool and hot tub.

I would definitely stay here again if I could get a cottage.

Cottage rental - best place we stayed in Iceland!

We stayed in a wooden chalet here for just one night during our tour of Iceland. The chalet was nothing fancy, but well equipped, and we were able to get a bowl of soup and some bread in the refectory for a fairly reasonable price (for Iceland!). Set in a beautiful valley.

Lovely setting

They have two levels of apartments.  The cottages were dark and very tiny not pleasant to spend any time in.  The units are run down.  They have another level of apartments which were roomier but still were basically student dorms   the area however is beautiful for a quick visit.  Both the locall beer place and the horse museum were closed last weekend. Lily at the front desk went out of her way to help us.  There are no food stores nearby to stock up on goods. Breakfast was quite standard.  This place should only attract people on a tight budget.


This is a  truly basic place to stay.

They have apartments which are basically student dorms. These lack blinds to shut away the permanent sun light, and were in a poor cleanliness condition.As well the utensils were lacking and what was there needed serious scrabbing. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi, although indicated by us as a must, was not available.  We have to commend the front desk lady who went out of her way to help us and agreed at one point to give us the access codes to the internet. A plus was the presence of a washing machine and the means to dry our laundry. The pool area was under constraction so we didn't have the option to relax in the hot tab that was promised.
