Ósar

3.9(235 reviews)

About

Ósar, on Iceland, stands at 711, Vatnsnes, Iceland. First-time visitors should expect a seasonal operation, open from May 1 to Oct 1, with the website at http://osarhostel.com/ as its online reference. Visitors give it 3.9 out of 5 across 235 reviews.

That 3.9 rating from 235 reviews reflects a substantial volume of feedback. Reaching Ósar from Iceland's main centres takes some planning, since Reykjavik, Akureyri, Vik, Hofn, Selfoss, Keflavik, Husavik and Isafjordur are spread around the coast. Icelandic island food centres on cod, haddock, langoustine and harðfiskur, dried fish eaten with butter.

Vatnsnes lies in northern Iceland, and the 711 address places it in a rural stretch away from the larger towns. Akureyri is the nearest of the island's main centres, while Reykjavik sits considerably further south.

The May 1 to Oct 1 season aligns with the warmer months, when puffins nest in burrows on Icelandic islands from spring before leaving again by late summer. Travellers driving the northern routes should plan fuel and supplies around the larger towns. The 235 reviews and 3.9 rating give a broad sense of how the place is received.
