Very quaint and QUIET seaport town.
Very quaint and QUIET seaport town. A lot of the restaurants and bars were closed during my stay but was able to go to 1 of them which was lovely. It's a very far east part of Iceland I recommend going to, even if it is for 1 night.

Gem! This was worth the extra drive to visit. Honestly it was my favorite part of Iceland. Rugged beauty without the long line of tourist buses to contend with. Stokksnes Beach is a hidden gem at sunrise!

The Berjaya in Höfn is in a wonderful position with the harbour on one side and a view out across the water to the glaciers and the west on the other. It is also easy walking distance to all the local bars and restaurants.

Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland.
Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland. It has numerous, easy walking paths thru town and around their waterfront including a golf course with views that I think rival those of the finest courses in the world. Not a golfer, but if I were, this is a place I would want to play. It was spectacular. The views of the glacier were outstanding. There were several good restaurants, lobster is a local specialty. There are nature and art trails along the waterfront and a number of good historical exhibits. Wished we could have spent more time here. It felt like a vibrant, fully functioning community that I would have liked to explore more.

it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips.
it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips. The room did not match the pricing.
There were not microwave nor toaster nor any other means to warm up any food. Only one working chair in the room.
It was clean, but not worth the price.

Unlike tourist traps in the USA, Hofn is a marine village built to accommodate itself throughout the seasons. It's a place to relax, take in the fresh air, and chill. Its natural beauty is more than enough.
I loved the hospitality and hygiene at Arnanes. Everything looked so clean and nice. And also the way the hotel is situated in nature is amazing. A great view upon the mountains, that's even more beautiful with sunrise and sunset! The owners were very friendly and always in for a chat, and even some sightseeing and aurora advice. Bonus for Dutch travelers: the owner also speaks a good amount of Dutch! I'm definitely coming back to this hotel if I visit Iceland again. Really enjoyed my stay there.
The hotel is very well located for any road trip in the South of the country or if you drive via the Ring road. Next to all points of interest nearby: Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, Hofn etc.
The room we booked was very clean, the bed was very comfortable, lovely staff, the hotel is very spacious in the middle of nature with mountain and field views and had also nice facilities. We recommend it more than 100% and will definitely book there again if we come back to South Iceland.
Seljavellir Guesthouse has the best value for money we encountered in Iceland. Considering the price we paid, the room was HUGE, had a great shower/toilet room and the bed was very large and comfortable.
The view was AMAZING, as the room has glass windows and a glass door, letting us see parts of the Vatnajökull glacier straight from bed.
Check in was silky smooth as our key was simply waiting for us in the lobby, and communicating with the host was very easy over the phone.
We ended our month in Iceland at this apartment in western Reykjavik. Parking was easy on the street. The apartment was quite large which was perfect for doing our final repack after 4 1/2 months of travel. Kitchen was well appointed. Nice to have a washer so our clothes were clean going home. The apartment was very clean. Bathroom was a good size with steady hot water and good water pressure.
If you've never been to Iceland, get used to sharing showers, bathrooms, and kitchen with all the other guests. They're really nice bathrooms and kitchen, but you might not be used to it. But it makes for great interactions with staff and fellow travelers.
If you're an extrovert, this stay is perfect for you. Introverts might have less fun here.
The place is cozy, clean, and in walking distance from everywhere! Fun to see the harbor from our window too! We recommend Viking Cafe for breakfast and Z Bistro had THE BEST LOBSTER EVER! There’s a full kitchen for anyone eating in. These are the best shared bathrooms (and honestly better than our private bathroom at one stay) in all of Iceland!
Location was ideal for our family vacation in Iceland. Breakfast was a great spread and they kept refilling no matter how many people were there. Lots of choices for breakfast. Room was one of the larger rooms we stayed in on our Iceland vacation great size for a family of four. Room was clean bathroom good size easy to use showers.
Stunning views, nice room and excellent breakfast.
The guest house overlooks the glacier and gentle meadows dotted by flowers. In the morning we were greeted by a couple of sheeps near our room window.
Breakfast was very good compared to other hotels we stayed in Iceland. It featured fresh fruit, cold cuts and handmade cheese.
parking. netflix. coffee. cook. aurora. facility. price. location. and mostly wonderful host. everything is so perfect.
if you are reading my review, just make a booking this house. i guerantee you that this is the best hotel you could find in iceland.
thanks you again. i had a great time in iceland
A hotel that with the backdrop of Vatnajökull behind. It is located inside the town of hofn. Hofn is one of the underrated town and is a picturesque town in its own rights. Will recommend to friends to visit this town as all the amenities are walkable distance despite the Icelandic weather.😁
The bathroom is very uncomfortable, there is no place to put things
Good breakfast but why are there no cappuccino coffee machines and it's not only in this hotel in most hotels in Iceland haha
The hotel is beautiful, the staff is very kind, and parking is no problem
Location Is awesome view from window in morning on mountains… cool… I do live in Iceland so I do travel sometime in some hotels and this is something else… it is quiet and calm atmosphere… Definitely recommend and I will visit when I will be in Hofn…
The shared kitchen and dining area was well equipped, the beds comfortable and the bathrooms and showers clean. The check-in process was well communicated and the location easy to find. A good overnight stop whilst exploring Iceland.
Situated in a great location, close to the water and dining options within Hofn. The room was great with all the amentities needed for a one night stay while travelling through Iceland. Breakfast options were good as well
Everything was perfect! Absolutely beautiful views, super comfortable room and the host was so friendly. We loved meeting the dogs too! It was such a special place and one of my favorite accommodations in Iceland.
The room was very spacious and clean and had a big bathroom. I loved the views to the glaciers. Breakfast was good and varied and had Icelandic cheese (only guesthouse which offered proper cheese for breakfast).
