It was an unexpected stay because the ferry cancelled due to weather, wind. We booked online, arrived after 3pm (check in time), no one was there. We called two numbers and eventually someone came. The tv didn't work.

Liked: Cleanliness
The breakfast was extremely minimal. The common areas such as hallways were very old and seemed dirty, very average/below average for the cost.

Disliked: Staff & service
The ferry to the island was cancelled due to bad weather (8 Sept 2023). We called and emailed the hotel to explain we could not arrive per our reservation -- something they certainly would know. Hamar never answered or responded. In desperation, called Expedia for help the same day. Expedia called back the next day, informed that the hotel would not work with us or Expedia, and the hotel would still charge us as a no-show. (Since there were no doubt day visitors stranded on the island, would not surprise if Hamar ended up renting our room anyway). Beware.
Guesthouse Hamar is in a great location, only a few blocks from the ferry (leave your car on the mainland if you don’t really need to drive on Westmann Island). The room was a lot bigger than I thought. Shower was a little tight, but ok.
Breakfast was included which was good as well. Walls are a bit thin, but there wasn’t anyone up late, so it didn’t bother us at night. Very happy with this 1 night stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Wonderful staff. Barebones but clean accommodations.
We found our key on the desk at 7 PM; no one was around. If you’re older and have bags, beware that there is no elevator. Now good things: Bed was comfortable, room was clean, excellent location downtown near restaurants. Recommend you spend extra to bring your car across on the ferry. This island is a delight to explore by car.
Property is near the harbor, convenient walking access to shops, restaurants and tours.( There is no elevator for those with difficulty on stairs)
The staff were all lovely and helpful.
