Great 1 night stay
Pros:

Room was comfortable. Nice bed. We had dinner at the hotel and they let us know that the northern lights were active and we saw them right outside. Restaurant staff very friendly.

Cons:

No lift but they did offer to help with bags.

Amazing staff and comfortable beds
Pros:

The staff were incredibly nice and helpful during check-in, specifically the Polish Lady with dark hair working the reception desk, I didn’t get her name. Check-in was really fast. The bed was comfortable and had a great nights sleep. Pillows were a little flat but it didn’t impact our sleep. We loved the sea view, room was warm and a good size for a one night stay. The staff even went out of their way to make our stay special for our engagement! We really appreciated it. Breakfast had everything you needed for a good breakfast. Various juices, cakes and nice coffee from the machine apart from the usual. Ample parking in front of the hotel and of course the best part was the resident cat ❤️ Perfect walking distance to restaurants and the supermarket

Cons:

Not much to say here apart from the pillows and bathroom was on the smaller side but it didn’t impact our stay. It’s great for one or two nights.

Great hotel in Hofn

The only downside was the small bathroom.

Overall pleased with the hotel although breakfast was a chaotic experience
Pros:

Good location in the centre of Hofn

Cons:

Breakfast was chaotic due to the large coach groups present making it a poor experience. This needs a retro fitted lift as the stair are difficult for older guest

Pros:

Really liked the feel of the communal areas e.g. entrance hall, a really warm retro vibe. The staff were helpful and the resident cat, Cinnamon, was a highlight of the holiday! Easy to find, plenty of parking. No elevator but we were on the first floor so it was ok.

Cons:

The bathroom was very small and cramped with a tiny corner section with a curtain around the shower. The whole room, as expected, gets wet when the shower is used and then stays permanently damp as no windows. As a result there is mildew in the bathroom, a permanently wet floor and a smell of damp.
