Vegamót means 'crossroads', and that's exactly where you'll find this sustainably operated hotel, cafe and restaurant. Simple, clean rooms have private bathrooms. You'll probably spot its cafe, Rjúkandi Kaffi (snacks 450kr to 1700kr), first. It's next to the N1 station, and is loaded with homemade cakes, daily soups and happy locals. The hotel's restaurant serves well-presented Icelandic fare.
