8/10 Very Good

This was a good hotel to stay at but the food was way overpriced. The layout of the room was unique. The shoer was in a sperate room from the toilet and sink, which helped 2 people get ready at once. I liked that part.

4/10 Fair

Awkward room design
Hotel room was a weird design. The toilet/sink on one side and the shower only on the other side where the office area was. This means you leave your toiletries on one side and take a shower on the other side and walk out in your towel into the office area! It was very cramped for me & my husband and were not large at all. I would not stay here again. Location was nice but had to drive about 15 minutes to eat out. The hotel restaurant had limited selection and average price for entree was about $48 USD.

Great hotel
Lovely location overlooking the mountains and also glimpses of the glaciers from the room we got Room was really good sized and had all amenities needed Property in clean condition although the electric car charger wasn’t functional and the staff had no information about it Breakfast spread was decent, although have seen better options Parking plenty but the hotel is slightly outside the town of Hofn

Receptionist told us that we were upgraded only to find scaffolding was set up next to our window, with works startung at 8:00. For the rest it is a nice hotel with excellent service.

Beautiful, New, & they Do Laundry
Our View could see a Waterfall, in the nearby Mountain on one side, & the next morning the Glacier was Visible from the other side when there was Clear Skies! We did a load of laundry, & it was Handled with Care! Loved this service, & the Front Desk Lady!! Wish I would have saved her name. The Food is Delicious, & just like the rest of Iceland… a little Expensive. The Hoffel Hot Tubs are a short drive, & were a Nice end to our Long Day of Hiking. We would stay here again!

8/10 Very Good

Great rooms, beautiful location. However, we found the bathroom smelling of cigarette and we did mention it to the management that the cleaning staff should have taken notice. We wanted an iron/ironing board and we were surprised to learn that they do not have any. It is a good place to spend the night but we expect a bit better service for the money that was charged. Given the service, I would say its overpriced
