Pros:

Hotel Nordjulos in Raufarhöfn is an absolute gem—cozy, clean, and quaint, with comfortable rooms that make for a restful night. But what truly sets it apart is the people. Holmsteinn (“Steinny”) has a heart of gold—so kind, charismatic, and generous. He sat with us to chat, shared stories of his family, his wife, and his grandson (who proudly carries his name), and even offered us the chance to see their fishing boat. His twin sister, Guna (forgive me if I’ve misspelled it), was just as welcoming. The kindness and sincerity they showed reflects the very best of a small village community, and as travelers, it was incredibly comforting and memorable. We left not just with a stay, but with a story to treasure. When we return to Raufarhöfn, there’s no question we’ll stay here again—and we’ll be eager to hear about Steinny and his wife’s next trip back to Spain!

Accueil très sympathique, chambre propre, pratique pour le dîner. Hélas, cher.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié l’accueil, qui était véritablement sympathique et cordial, et ce qui est assez rare à signaler dans ce pays. Par ailleurs, on peut s’installer dans la salle qui sert à la fois de restaurant et pour le petit déjeuner, bien en avance, pour profiter de la chaleur, surtout lorsqu’il fait un froid glacial à l’extérieur comme cela était la situation pour nous. Nous avons apprécié le dîner, et le petit déjeuner était correct.
À souligner que cet établissement ne pratique pas le prépaiement sur Booking, de telle sorte qu’il faut prévoir le budget pour régler la nuit, lorsqu’on arrive, ainsi que le petit déjeuner et le dîner en plus, si on les prend.

Cons:

Ceci n’est pas particulier à cet hôtel dans ce pays, mais il faut malgré tout signaler le prix à la nuit qui est exorbitant, pour un service qui est classique.

Prima hotel met goede keuken
Pros:

Erg ruime kamer, schoon. Goed restaurant, vooral de vissoep was heerlijk.

Cons:

Komt iets gedateerd over maar dat stoorde ons niet. In de directe omgeving is niet veel te doen, je moet iets verder rijden.

Large very comfortable and clean room. Absolutely wonderful hostess! They now have a very nice elevator. We had the best meal of our trip at the restaurant at the hotel. Definitely try the fish and lobster soup!! The rooms were very quiet.
