Pros:

요쿨살론까지 50분거리라 그 전날 못한 보트투어를 하기에 적당한 위치로 전망이 좋고 회픈에서도 가까와 맛있는 식사도 할수 있어 좋았어요. 직원들이 친절하고 멋진뷰에서 아침식사를 편하게 할수 있는것도 좋았네요.

Cons:

방음이 잘 안되어 옆방 소음이 좀 들렸네요.

Pros:

Красивое место и вид на прекрасную долину. Отличный ресторан.

Cons:

Эргономика пространства номера более чем сомнительна. Растворимый кофе в номере даже вспоминать не хочу.

B Blick auf den Gletscher
Pros:

Gut gelegenes, modernes Hotel der in Island häufig vertretenen Kette Fosshotel. Von hier erreicht man einige Sehenswürdigkeiten problemlos mit dem Auto (z.B. den Diamond-Beach und die Gletscherlagune). In Höfn gibt es einige gute Restaurants. Das Fosshotel hat ebenfalls ein gutes Restaurant (die Speisekarte unterscheidet sich aber nicht sehr von anderen Fosshotels).

Cons:

Wir hatten sehr viele kleine Insekten im Zimmer. Vielleicht wäre ein Moskitonetz eine gute Idee.

Quiet location, stunning views
Pros:

Great to have it at a quiet location with the road number one now being diverted. Excellent to have a (slow) charger for EVs in front of the hotel. Staff was friendly throughout

Cons:

Value for Money was out of whack. The rooms felt quite dated.
