Endroit calme et restauration d'exception !
Pros:

Petit déjeuner (inclus, c'est assez rare pour le signaler) juste EXTRAORDINAIRE ! Choix, qualité, présentation soignée et surtout la proposition originale pour la somme raisonnable de 1000 couronnes (- de 7 € en 2026) de se faire un sandwich complet avec tous les bons ingrédients présents pour notre repas de midi si nous n'avions pas trop le temps de faire des courses ou un arrêt restaurant !

Cons:

Histoire d'être objectif jusqu'au bout, parquet du couloir qui grince pas mal en haut devant les portes ! Un détail....

Trop cher pour ce que c’est
Pros:

L’idée que nous en faisions et la disponibilité dans une période très chargée
Choix par défaut

Cons:

Le personnel trop « rude »
Aucun accueil
Petit déjeuner jusqu’à 9h et à 9h 01, tout doit disparaître et nous finissons d’avaler ce petit déjeuner alors que rangement se fait de façon ostentatoire pur que nous quittions les lieux
Le prix est excessif par rapport à la prestation
Une salle de douche commune pur quatre chambre, salle de douche plus que sommaire

Mooie omgeving.
Pros:

Mooie ligging, goed bed, mooi uitzicht en lekker ontbijt. Vriendelijke medewerkers.

Cons:

Erg kleine kamer, heel benauwd. Geen horren voor de ramen, door de vele muggen kon het raam niet open blijven.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr einfach eingerichtet. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Das angebotene Frühstück hat uns auch sehr gut geschmeckt.

Cons:

Die Möbel sind schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Aufgrund der Jahreszeit wurden wir von den midges zerbissen. Man muss jedoch erwähnen, dass wir vom Personal vorgewarnt wurden.

Pros:

The room size and facilities. Good breakfast.

Cons:

The midges were bad at night, a midge net on the window would have been good. It was not possible to sit back and read on the bed because of the slopping roof which was a pity.

Prima doorreishotel.
Pros:

Mooie en rustige huisjes , alles mooi verzorgd, ook de ontbijtruimte/ restaurant is gezellig. Verzorgd ontbijt.

Cons:

Het diner bied geen keuze, het is eten wat de pot schaft, maar er zijn meerdere gezellige restaurantjes in de haven van het nabijgelegen stadje Hofn. Wij aten er zeer lekkere pizza.

Pros:

We chose Arnanes hotel because we thought we could buy food and drinks. Turns out there was no food and when came back from buying food the reception and the bar were closed. Huge disappointment and would have been so much better if we would have received those information upon our arrival☹️

Cons:

The restaurant was closed and the bar was also closed early with out information about opening hours

Pros:

Huone oli isäntäväen talon yläkerrassa. Se oli siisti ja tilava. Yläkerrasta löytyi oma WC ja suihku. Sopiva yhden yön majoitukseen. Aamupalalla kaikki tarvittava.

Cons:

Ovet olivat ohuet ja äänet kuuluivat helposti läpi.

Accogliente. Bella e immersa nella natura.
Pros:

Camere familiari ampie e pulite. Ottima posizione e ottima colazione con prodotti locali.
La piccola serra con tante verdure era persino romantica.
Si percepisce amore per la natura e senso di ospitalità.

Ganz okay, aber es gibt bessere Unterkünfte für den Preis
Pros:

Wir hatten ein Doppelzimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Im Zimmer war ein Waschbecken, die Dusche direkt nebenan und in Ordnung. Sehr leckeres, vielfältiges Frühstück mit noch warmem Brot. Sehr freundliche Servicekraft beim Frühstück.

Cons:

Zimmer im Dachgeschoss sehr klein. Booking.com gibt bei den Ausstattungen des Hotels "Restaurant" an. Man muss aber wissen, dass Einzelreisende hier nicht essen können. Nur angemeldete Gruppen bekommen im Arnanes Abendessen. Das war für uns sehr enttäuschend. Wir hatten uns nach einem langen, regenreichen Tag auf ein gutes Abendessen direkt in der Unterkunft gefreut und wurden auf Restaurants in dem etwa 7 km entfernten Höfn verwiesen.
