Pros:

Our room was able to comfortably accommodate a twin bed, a double bed, and a futon bed. The property and services were exactly as advertised. Futon bed was the least comfortable, as expected.

Cons:

No dinner options availabe on site which is unfortunate because honestly the hotel would make a lot of money; their breakfast had a good selection and I assume they could provide a good dinner as well.

Warm and comfortable with great facilities.
Pros:

Great location just outside of Hofn with good views and access. Each room has designated parking outside. The room was clean, comfortable and very warm. The shower was great (no cubicle, the bathroom is a wet room). The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Checking in and out is easy and quick. Breakfast was a cold buffet with cereal, breads for toast, meats, cheeses and jams, as well as some tasty Icelandic accompaniments such as lamb pate and herring. For a small additional fee you are permitted to use the buffet to make yourself a sandwich for a packed lunch. Coffee, tea and juice all provided.

Cons:

TV in room needs some maintenance to aerial/cable connection, took some adjustment to make it work.
