Hofn Homestays

The room is still a bit smelly, the quadruple room is big but the toilet is small, and there are not many places to put suitcases, the breakfast is average, the choice is not very rich. Fortunately, it is very close to the famous lobster restaurant and can be reached by car in about 10 minutes.

The hotel is very close to the glacier lake and diamond beach, and it takes about ten minutes to drive. The hotel is very quiet at night in a small town. The room is very large, about 40 square meters, bath water or geothermal water. In addition to the accommodation room, the hotel also has a separate drying room for drying clothes (the taste inside is conceivable) for drying the soaked objects of the passengers. There are also coffee and tea in the public tea break area for guests to enjoy. Breakfast is also a more plentiful and very good hotel. Attached is a photograph of the breakfast restaurant hanging, but unfortunately I did not take such a beautiful scenery throughout the process.

The location is very close to the town of Hofn. The service of the big sister who stayed in the counter office is super friendly and kind. Although it is a homestay, it is dedicated and professional. The rooms are well-equipped. The price is not expensive and the cp value is high. When the weather is good, there is a chance to meet Aurora. This time I was lucky enough to meet during the stay, it was great, the breakfast was also good, and I was very satisfied overall.

Just a short drive outside of Höfn, which was great. It was very isolated and not really near any hustle and bustle which is right up my alley and made for a very quiet night and great sleep. The rooms were good (apparently I forgot to take a picture of the main sleeping area, whoops!), and the staff were excellent. Breakfast was fantastic as well. Would stay here again for sure. Bonus points for their shower - it had a small lip/curb so that the floor didn't get completely soaked like some other hotels I'd stayed at! :D

This hotel is very user friendly! Coffee drinks and milk yoghurt are available for purchase in unlimited quantities. Laundry and cooking facilities are complete, and seasonings are also available. Although the boss doesn't talk much, but the work is very positioning. Although we check out at 12 o'clock, we have to deal with the pictures, so we stayed at their restaurant until 2 o'clock, and coffee and other drinks are still available.

My wife and I completed the ring road in September. Almost all our stays were at AirBnb but we could not find an affordable one near Hofn. So we grinded our teeth and picked out a hostel. My memories of hostels from 20 years ago was a bunch of drunk students and beds stacked on top of each other with a shower from the 1800's. We were blown away how clean and well lit our room was. There were two different washroom/showers. One for the three rooms upstairs and one for the two rooms upstairs. The kitchen was one of the nicest galley kitchen I have ever seen with new shelfs, great selection of pots and pans. The living room was very bright and a fantastic view. The owner greeted us as we arrived earlier than we planned and was very warm and bubbly.

I have experienced youth hostels and campsites that were better maintained. The furniture looks like it came from the bulky waste, the window had a crack in the glass, the paint on the frame had peeled off completely, there was a hole in a tile in the bathroom, the veneer on the bathroom door was peeling off, I could continue the list. The two nights I stayed there, I did not dare to take a shower, as the mould on the rubber seals was not inviting here either, and in the mini-bathroom, moreover, there was no ventilation whatsoever other than through the door (i.e. there was no ventilation system/fan or similar - hence the mould, I guess). We also ate there on the first evening - a mistake. Lovelessly prepared, overcooked and at best mediocre canteen level. The only time in my entire 14-day Ring Road trip that I did not eat well. The only plus: the thoroughly nice staff. Even though it is the only one among the guesthouses/hotels in Iceland we stayed in where the staff is apparently not used to food and drinks consumed on site being written on the room and paid for on departure. This caused a misunderstanding as they asked the tour operator if full board was also booked and told us, panicking, we should immediately call the operator. This caused unnecessary confusion, but was the least of the problems. Overall, I cannot recommend a stay here. And since the trip was a very expensive one (several thousand euros through a regular travel agency and not a cheap provider), such a mistake in booking the accommodation should not happen. Very disappointed.

Advantages: clean and hygienic. Good location, close to the lobster shop. Disadvantages: The room is small, the most amazing thing is that the curtains are only 20cm long. We just lived on the first floor, a short curtain, and the clothes could not be changed. Iceland is so long every day, how do people sleep? I didn’t care if I called the boss, but I later negotiated through Ctrip. But the curtain problem still can't be solved. The door lock of the bath is also bad. You can only ask your friends to look outside when taking a shower. I chose this house for a long time, and I was speechless to myself.

Hepburn really had to set the hotel early, because it was too late, so I lived in two places with my friends. I thought this cheap would be very bad. The result was much better than I thought. Although it was a public bathroom, the small apartment felt neat. The kitchen equipment is all available. It is a good choice for overnight stays. The neighbors are of high quality. The used utensils are cleaned up and quiet. They are much quieter than each other. It is much better than another hotel with more than 2,000.

The service is very good. The hotel is good and the breakfast is very good. The distance from the glacier lake is not far.
