Hostel Hvoll is an old farm house on the side of a lake. The nearest town is Kirkjubaejurklaustur, 23 kilometres away. The bus stops on route 1, and if you call them before hand, staff will meet you there and drive you back when you depart for ISK100.
The layout of the hostel is a little different - with three small buildings containing dorms and kitchens. The oldest building is showing its age, but it was where one of the owners was born so it does lend some authenticity to the atmosphere.
Arctic terns and numerous other birds nest nearby, and there are plenty of options for walking in the surrounding area, but make sure you bring good waterproof walking shoes. There is not much else one can do due to the hostel's isolation - it seems most people drive there and stay overnight as they work their way around national route 1, but if you want a peaceful break, Hvoll is a good choice.
