This is truly a world class hotel, situated high on a hill overlooking the sea, in the middle of nowhere. Beautifully decorated room, comfortable beds, lovely bathroom with steaming hot water. Our evening meal in the stunning restaurant was superb, seafood chowder followed by Arctic Char, perfectly presented. Reception at checkin was friendly and efficient. We requested a delayed departure until 1:00pm which was granted without charge.

We got a corner room from where the view was amazing to the mountains. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, the staff was super kind. The breakfast was really like in a bigger hotel, so many options, fruits, pastries, cereal, everything you fancy before a long day of travelling/hiking.

Big room and confortable bed. Book the room facing the glacier, the price is worth it. A little far from restaurants and shops, but tottaly worth it for the peace and quiet. They have breakfast and dinner available. There is a coffee station by the entrance but no one was changing and puting new coffee, so coffee was cold from the day before already. When you come to the room you feel there is something missing there, the room is so big and it only has a small table and 2 chairs. Big part of the wall is just empty. I think these rooms deserve a resting chair or a little sofa with a coffee table :) Nice and helpful staff at the reception. It was a really nice stay! 1h away from the Glacier Lagoon!

an oasis of life in the middle of nature. Friendly and helpful staff, not only informed about the local rules, but also gave a lot of advice about the condition of the hike and the surrounding roads. Thermal baths are a great way to relax. Thank you!

The waters and views of the glaciers viewed from a far are beautiful. Also some of the little food places reflect the cosiness of a working port. Quaint working port village. Worth a stop or basing yourself there to visit the surrounding geography.

We loved how cozy this house was.

We loved how cozy this house was. We were able to cook and enjoy the beautiful views from every side of this house. It was close to glacier lagoon and a couple of nice restaurants. We went hiking up the mountain and watched the sheep. there is a lovely waterfall in the back as well. Loved our stay so much

The service was very good.

The service was very good. The reception and dining staff were amazing. Super friendly. Dinner had good options and was delicious. Breakfast is fairly standard inclusive continental. Location was 100/10 far more scenic than I expected. Right underneath a mountain and only a 15 min drive from guided tour meeting points and glaciers

The guesthouse gave a accurate description of the area so we knew what services were there and not there and could plan ahead. We loved walking around and the sights and hikes that were nearby. It was so easy to get to the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, and we could go back to see them at night too. The hosts had many recommendations for what to do and it definitely enhanced our trip!

stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

We enjoyed the cabin we stayed in.

We enjoyed the cabin we stayed in. The bedding was very nice and the kitchen perfectly stocked with dishes. The playground was fun. The office sells some camping supplies. There are not enough showers, only one for each gender. The kitchen/cooking area is bare bones. There are some nice tables inside. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Absolutely loved the variety of fresh, farm to table offerings, and homemade breads at breakfast. Dinner menu was extensive, meals were delicious. Enjoyed seeing the sea birds, and sheep in the pasture. Views of mountain and bay/ ocean were great. Very close to Glacier Bay and Diamond Beach. Peaceful. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend and will return when I come back to Iceland.

Hofn is great, quiet and cosy, but I believe that staying in the nearby villages is even more comfy. The town has a few great restaurants, a really wonderful little pool with hot tubs. Weather permitting, it has a great view on the Vestrahorn mountains + some nice shoreline walking paths.
