Disliked: Room comfort
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.

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!

A very beautiful property in a stunning part of Iceland. Our rooms were spectacular. The breakfast was excellent. However it is the staff that makes the hotel a special place. Make sure to check out the Pakkhus Restaurant in nearby Hofn.

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
