Spent a comfy night here on a swift trip with friends after taming the glacier on ski-doos. The hotel is very smart and fresh and the staff are just lovely. Try the lobster derivatives on the menu. Close to town (town being small) and some great views of the sea and glacier. The rooms are efficient and comfy but a... More

We booked this hotel to explore Vatnajökull Glacier and the surrounding area. Our first time in Höfn, so did not know what to expect and wanted to play safe, which paid off. This hotel was by far the smartest, friendliest and most cosy hotel for hundreds of kilometres once you are out of Reykjavík capital region- and for this time... More

We hobbled into Hofn late at night , in the bitter cold, after having TWO rental cars break down earlier in the day. Our second rental car broke down on a one lane bridge and we had to push it off before getting struck. We thought we might freeze to death! Finally we got it started again and made it... More

Nice Hotel, great service and location. The staff was very helpful and made you feel at home. We came in the middle of the night, but we were welcomed with smile and served with hot meal for very reasonabel price. This is not a 5 star hotel, but you get more than you pay for.

We stayed here for 2 nights, a bit longer than expected due to the weather. The staff were exceptionally helpful with advice regarding road and weather conditions and demonstrated genuine concern for our safety. They were so kind in giving us a reduced rate for the second night of our stay when we were unable to leave due weather. We... More

A solid three star hotel with a personal service and great lobster pizza, try it. Free WiFi in the Lobby and all the rooms, I recommend it. Good location of the hotel and the Hofn town, many attractions nearby including Jokulsarlon.

We drove the ring road in September, and decided to stay the night here. Yes, the rooms were tiny, and the bathroom tinier. It was probably our least favorite place, however the options are very limited and given our itinerary, we decided to chance it. That said, they did have a really great breakfast - one of the better ones... More

I hate posting negative reviews but we did not care for this hotel. Our room was extremely tiny - smaller than a college dorm room. We did not use the shower because it was so small and would have been more of a hassle than it was worth. There was barely enough room for my wife and I with our... More
