Midgard Base Camp

Hvolsvöllur

Midgard Base Camp features a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Hvolsvöllur. A hot tub and a bicycle rental service are available for guests. Providing free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking hostel has a sauna and evening entertainment. I like that it is not your regular party hostel (really don't like those) this place has class! The decor is one of a kind and the staff and amenities are definitely hotel level. It's really cozy which is good after a day of hiking. They have a lot of showers and bathrooms and everything is super clean. Food at the restaurant was marvelous! I asked for the vegan cabbage dish and it blew my mind. Breakfast is worth it, early in the morning you get a wonderful view of the sunrise through the restaurant windows. I'd totally recommend this place for solo travelers, couples or even families (the place is run by the family and friends, everyone is super nice, even the dog is around!)
