We are a group of 3 adults. Our room was in a seperate building adjacent to the main building . The room and the building we are in felt like an office building. The room is spacious. The room is very clean. Two pillows for each bed makes a better sleep. There are plenty of parking spaces on the ground.
Breakfast was good and plenty. The breakfast room was in the main building .

Stayed here for 1 night of our road trip along the ring road for our honeymoon and it was lovely! Plenty of parking, the room was very clean and nice with a beautiful view of the mountains! Everything from the rooms to common areas seem to have been very recently updated with nice design. The staff was incredibly lovely and kind, they even left a cute little postcard in our room with a handwritten note congratulating us on our wedding/honeymoon! Such a sweet touch. Very close to the cute little town of Hofn, about 10 minutes by car. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in hofn!

Decent location but the hotel is old with paper thin walls. I could hear the person in the room next to me snoring. I could also hear the hallway noise when people lock and lock their doors. I got bitten by midges in the room while I slept. There are much better hotels in Iceland.

Wow! We had a great stay! We had a room for 3 with a private bathroom. The room was so spacious. We ate at the restaurant on site. We had the carrot soup, veggie plate, cod, and lamb burger. Everything was delicious! I highly recommend you eat there. They also serve breakfast which was perfect and so easy.

Decent hotel, reasonably close to Höfn. Rooms were rather spacious compared to other places we stayed at for our group size (3). Rooms were clean, beds are comfy, and blackout curtains. However, big big problem, no elevators! Front desk staff was very friendly and offered to help carry our luggage to the second floor but regardless this is something to be aware of if you're lugging around big suitcases and the like. Breakfast must be purchased separately but you're close to Höfn anyways, so why bother? Nice place as long as the lack of elevators isn't a problem.

It was fine. It wasn’t anything special though. Rooms are quite small and a bit dated. Linens were clean and the bed was comfortable enough. Almost zero outlets for charging phones etc. Dining area seemed nice. There are very few options in the area so I think it’s probably a good option if you need to stay right outside Höfn for one night.
