Hótel Búðir

hotel-budir

Hótel Búðir, spelt Hotel Budir in English, is a hotel located on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. It does not have a hot tub, or proper blinds for the windows, but what it lacks in these features it more than makes up for in location. Not to mention the friendly staff, excellent food and lovely decor.

You could definitely have a worse view. The other window, and the bathroom, look out across the Snæfellsjökull glacier.

The hotel seems to have a bit of a rock and roll attitude. Some of the rooms only seem accessible by crossing the roof. This is definitely worth a visit even if you are not in one of those rooms, simply for the panoramic view.

Their restaurant is busy, but the food is tasty, beautifully presented and comes in reasonable-sized portions.

Just up above the hotel is Búðir church. It has been re-built several times since the original.

Beyond the church is the ocean, and a surprising amount of sandy beach.

Without a doubt, Hótel Búðir offered us the most beautiful location of the trip. Mountains, a glacier, a waterfall and the ocean, all visible from the same room.
