It was fine. It was convenient to restaurants in town. They were doing construction on it but that was ok. The bedroom and bathroom was clean. Shower was fine. Room was a bit small for two twin beds--they could not really be separated so it was like sleeping in the same bed. They were supposed to contact me the day before with check in instructions, but I didnt get any info and was a bit worried till I reached someone by phone. Once there, the check in was fine.

This was my first stay at the guesthouse, so I can't make comparisons. I stayed on the first floor, and there were four bedrooms with two beds each (? Not sure. There are two shower rooms (there are no shelves or hanging space, so you cannot bring your towels or personal items). The bathroom is so small that it is difficult to move around, and there is only one for four bedrooms. (Probably at least eight guests)

We had an issue with adding a payment to a reservation and we were met after hours at the door by the property owner. After finding out that we may not be incredibly comfortable with a shared bathroom, she offered an upstairs private apartment that slept our whole party. Great customer service and very kind lady. We were thankful for her generosity and flexibility!

Insufficient bathroom and kitchen capacity

Not what we expected. Too many people sharing bathroom, toilet and kitchen. Kitchen only had 2 cooking rings for 10 rooms. Only one toilet and bathroom for 4 rooms on ground floor. Upstairs rooms had to come out of building to get to ground floor to use kitchen. Room smelt of stale fish due to proximity of harbour...not hotels fault to be fair. Tap in room sink dripped all the time. Poor sound insulation. However easy to find, warm and comfy bed. Hotel in much worse vondition than photos on website show. Kind and helpful staff though think they are not based on site. Parking outside was plentiful.

Had a great stay in the guesthouse. I was on main floor and found it was very quiet even though most of the rooms were occupied. Called ahead to get my room number and the key was in the door when I arrived which was great! There is a shared bathroom but I never had to wait to use it, and it was very clean. The shared kitchen had everything needed to make dinner, they even supplied basics like tea/coffee/spices etc. and plenty of seating. The room was quite large and very comfortable. Would stay here again!

Worth looking at for short stays.

Basic accomodation but clean, comfortable and well organised.
Inside much better kept than outside which lowers its tone a bit. Pics of guest house makes it look a a bit better than it really is. Fine if spending a night or two. Personally I would look for a hotel next time as I struggle with sharing bathroom facilities.

We stayed at a 4 star hotel the night before this one and this one was better. Although the bathroom is shared, the location is ideal for Hofn. The views are really nice, serene, peaceful water. Within walking distance to restaurants and sights in Hofn. The bed is comfy and there is a sink in the room. If you’re passing through, this is a great accommodation.

So if you are looking for curb appeal, don't go. When we pulled up we thought we had make a really big mistake but due to the time of our arrival and the lack of options we had no choice. The room was clean and barely big enough for 4 of us but the bathrooms, showers and the kitchen were community spaces which were not our preference. We arrived late and they left us a key which was nice but we were relieved that we were only here for one night. The area around was OK as it was right near the water and there were some restaurants close by.

We stayed in the apartment, with the private parking space it made it very convenient, and accessible. The shower was gorgeous and it was nice to have our own space. The check-in was different than what I am used to, you have to call and then the receptionist drives up, but it doesn't take long for her to get there though. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice spot, no-frills

Nice place right at the harbor in Hofn. Only 1 shared bathroom on the floor for about 10 rooms so that can be tricky. Shower & toilet were in separate rooms, though, so that helped a bit. Decent amount of free parking but it's shared with a diner next door. Walking distance to restaurants. Shared space can be kind of loud when there's people there.

All rooms have shared bathrooms, in small print in posting, stay clear of this hotel unless you want to spend $180 per night for a small room and a shared bathroom with 16 of your \"closest\" unknown friends during a spike in COVID. Avoid staying here, our room, any many more, was up steep flight of stairs, poor access.

The guesthouse rooms pictured on Expedia give the impression you will be staying in a new or newly renovated gorgeous little guest house. In reality, they are newly decorated comfortable rooms in a 3 story historic building with a great location beside a quaint harbor, with communal areas still decorated in 80s style with pictures of New York everywhere. Not bad for its price and location but tiny sitting areas and nowhere really to enjoy the beautiful harbor views.

Expensive and mediocre service.

Not a particularly good value, This place is a mix of hotel style rooms and dorms. Even in the hotel style rooms you have to pay extra for a towel! At the price they charge, that adds insult to injury. They also expect you to strip your bed linens before you leave. They make it seem that the guest is there for the convenience of the staff rather than the other way around.

On a positive note, it was clean, warm and the common kitchen area is very nice. Wifi was OK.
