Find Guest house in Hofn

Lovely little guesthouse ideally located on the south coast. We stayed as part of our two day SC tour and were pleasantly surprised. It was dark when we arrived but the view was spectacular in the morning of the mountains and sunrise over the coast. The room was very clean, beds were comfortable and was lovely and warm for a stormy February evening! The evening food was ok, limited choices but did cater for vegan diet. Breakfast was standard but good - bread, fruit/veg, meat, cheese, oatmeal. Enough to set you up for the day! Overall a great place to stop for one or two nights on the South Coast!

Hepburn really had to set the hotel early, because it was too late, so I lived in two places with my friends. I thought this cheap would be very bad. The result was much better than I thought. Although it was a public bathroom, the small apartment felt neat. The kitchen equipment is all available. It is a good choice for overnight stays. The neighbors are of high quality. The used utensils are cleaned up and quiet. They are much quieter than each other. It is much better than another hotel with more than 2,000.

Advantages: clean and hygienic. Good location, close to the lobster shop. Disadvantages: The room is small, the most amazing thing is that the curtains are only 20cm long. We just lived on the first floor, a short curtain, and the clothes could not be changed. Iceland is so long every day, how do people sleep? I didn’t care if I called the boss, but I later negotiated through Ctrip. But the curtain problem still can't be solved. The door lock of the bath is also bad. You can only ask your friends to look outside when taking a shower. I chose this house for a long time, and I was speechless to myself.

We were a family (3 couples) traveling Iceland together for 8 days. My son planned the trip, we flew into Keflavik Airport got a rental car and drove to our furthest point Ekra Lodge so we could spend the week working our way back sightseeing. We booked 2 rooms here each had 3 single beds, bathroom and coffee station. The beds were amazing super comfortable and the pillows were amazing. We arrived about 2:30 a.m. and we had a great view of the Northern Lights which was very cool to see. We were all exhausted so we pretty much got to our rooms and we all passed out. It was dark so we really couldn't see the surroundings. The owners have everything as let yourself in with code which was nice, we were super quiet so we didn't wake any other guests. I believe there are 5 total units all different prices and sizes, we had what we needed. The next a.m. the shower pressure was amazing as was the entire shower. We all got ready and walked outside and well-ahhh what a view. The backside of the home there were 2 waterfalls and a spectacular mountain view behind the house then when you looked straight forward there was a huge white topped glacier over a vast green field, it looked like a postcard, has to be incredible to wake up to that view each day, it almost looked fake it was so pretty. We took alot of pictures before we hit the road for breakfast. I only wish we had arrived a bit sooner to enjoy the place a bit more, there is a huge balcony up top that has several chairs and the view is again amazing. I highly recommend this place is you need for 1 night super quiet and each suite had guests and plenty of space for 5-6 cars with no issues.

Long story that I will try to summarize as best as I can. We visited the guesthouse August 28th, paid a high rate as it was summer but the location was good and the space was comfortable for 4 people. I would have given this place a great review if it weren’t for what happened afterwards. The only issue we had was the sofa bed was uncomfortable. The next morning we very briefly took the mattress off the sofa bed (it was a very simple set up, just two Velcro straps attached to the base frame for easy assembly). We put it back exactly how it was shortly after. We then notice a man is outside our window looking in. My partner looked out the window and made eye contact, we found it very odd that someone was hanging around but just assumed maybe he was on the phone and didn’t realize people were in the room. A few minutes later we heard a knock on the door and it was the same man. He was very frustrated and agitated, asking us several times what our “problem” was. We said we had no problem everything was good. He then again asked rudely what our problem was and we were confused and said why do you think there is a problem? He then shows us a picture he took from outside our window INTO our room showing the mattress off the sofa bed. We were very shocked and uncomfortable that this man had taken a picture into our room, we had 3 girls inside getting ready for the day and thought this was very inappropriate. We explained to him again that there was no issue we just had to adjust the mattress and put it back exactly as it was before. We closed the door on and made a reminder to let the owner know when we got back from the trip of this negative experience. I thought they would be understanding and apologetic. I reached out to the owner upon returning home, a week after our stay. Explaining that we felt uncomfortable having a strange man hanging around outside (this was hours before check out too), taking pictures, being rude when he never explained who he was or what he was doing there. To my surprise, they were defensive and gave no apology. They are now threatening to contact *********** to charge me for damage (conveniently they are claiming this a week later, not right after our stay) when I have proof nothing was damaged. I never write bad reviews but wanted to warn others of this experience.

The service staff is a man and a woman, and they are very eye-catching, which makes me very useful for this kind of face control. The service attitude is also warmer than the average front desk, and the goodwill suddenly doubles. The breakfast is good, there are many breeds, and the cute little shepherd dog is very smart and very well-behaved. The room facilities are very complete, the room decoration is also very new, free parking, I highly recommend this.

The hotel is very close to the glacier lake and diamond beach, and it takes about ten minutes to drive. The hotel is very quiet at night in a small town. The room is very large, about 40 square meters, bath water or geothermal water. In addition to the accommodation room, the hotel also has a separate drying room for drying clothes (the taste inside is conceivable) for drying the soaked objects of the passengers. There are also coffee and tea in the public tea break area for guests to enjoy. Breakfast is also a more plentiful and very good hotel. Attached is a photograph of the breakfast restaurant hanging, but unfortunately I did not take such a beautiful scenery throughout the process.

It is a very good choice. Although it is a shared bathroom, it is not inconvenient at all. When I booked it, I didn’t bring breakfast, but it was actually provided. Although the hotel is not big, it feels very warm, just in the town. All aspects are very convenient.
