Pros:

This hotel was ok, but the room was very outdated and absolutely tiny. Staff was nice, and the breakfast was pretty standard. There is no elevator so you will have to carry your luggage upstairs.

The hotel is about a 10 minute drive to Hofn but the views are absolutely breathtaking, the hotel is clean and comfortable and has a bar and restaurant in case you don’t want to drive to Hofn.

Pros:

We loved staying at this hotel. It was a beautiful setting where we were able to see two Glaciers from our window. When we finally arrived at the hotel after driving for 5 hours, we were exhausted, but dinner revived us—the lamb and Arctic char dishes were amazing! My husband said it was the best lamb he had ever tasted, and I agreed! We were so glad that we decided to eat at the restaurant in the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a good night sleep, and we were ready to go hiking nearby Glaciers. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks for hosting us!

Pros:

There were very few lodging options for the Hofn area as I booked last minute. I have always been satsified with Fosshotel facilities before, so I decided on this one despite the extreme expense. I realized once I arrived at the beautiful room that it was very expensive because it was a suite. I loved everything about it until it came time to sleep. 3 young men in the room below me kept me awake all night. I complained to the front desk and she spoke with them, but the noise continued until it was time for me to get up.

Pros:

The best sleep in this whole trip! Mattress felt like my own and same is the blanket. We booked a family room with two king size bed and two bathrooms (one is extremely large). The breakfast is standard, staff are very friendly! Talked to us about their experience coming to Iceland and offered travelling advice in her own country! Will definitely stay again!
