Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms had a very modern decor and were spacious, with 2 queen beds and a nice view. The hotel is just on the outskirts of Hofn, close to restaurants and the main road to the Höfn town center. The dining experience was delightful with hot croissants and included meals. However, the service from housekeeping was not ideal, and the aged USDA prime steaks were not as tasty as expected.
The hotel is nestled in the town center against the backdrop of the mountains, offering a cozy stay with modern decor and fantastic showers. While the rooms are spacious and feature 2 beds upstairs, the shower experience is one of the highlights. On the downside, the price could be more budget-friendly for what is offered.
My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location is perfect, close to the beach and with plenty of restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and comfy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The only downside was the limited breakfast options. The pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable. Overall, a great value for money.
