Hele fijne overnachtingsplek.
Pros:

We hadden een kamer met gedeelde badkamer in het hoofdgebouw. Een prima keus! De kamers zijn comfortabel. De badkamer netjes. En het is er rustig 's nachts. Het ontbijt s morgens was prima!

Cons:

niets.

An unforgettable stay under the Aurora!
Pros:

Arnanes Country Hotel is an absolute gem nestled in Iceland’s breath taking, wide-open landscape. If you are looking for peace, pristine nature, and incredible views right at your doorstep, this is the place to be. The setting feels beautifully secluded, letting you fully disconnect and take in the dramatic scenery.

A special shoutout to Dadda, who made our stay truly exceptional. She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and gave us the best insider tips and advice on when and where to look out for the Northern Lights. Thanks to her guidance, we experienced pure magic: the Northern Lights dancing across the sky, visible right from the comfort of our cosy cottage window! Watching the green ribbons swirl above the mountains without even having to step out into the freezing air was an experience we will cherish forever.

The cottage itself was warm, comfortable, and equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. We cannot recommend Arnanes Country Hotel enough and will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Iceland!

Pros:

The hotel had a very cosy country vibe and was quiet and secluded. The room had a really nice view. Breakfast was plentiful. The shower pressure was great and we got new towels each day. The hotel is conveniently close to Hofn which had loads of great dinner options.

Cons:

The bathroom doesn’t have an extractor fan so you have to keep the window open for a while to clear the damp out of the air.

Ambiente lindo e quarto bem completo
Pros:

Todas as instalações muito lindas e limpas, o quarto era uma graça tendo katle disponível, pia no quarto e varandinha. Funcionários atenciosos e o café da manhã era uma delícia com várias opções homemade.

Cons:

No local que ficamos tinham 4 quartos e apenas 1 banheiro com chuveiro disponível, o que tornou um pouco competitivo no horário de tomar banho, mas não foi nada que deixou a experiencia desagradável.

Comfortable cabin-like room

The property is located in a peaceful, quiet area with beautiful countryside views. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive. There is free designated parking space directly in front of the room, making it very convenient for guests traveling by car.

Cons:

The breakfast buffet area could benefit from more space to allow guests to move around comfortably and avoid overcrowding during busy hours
