The setting is ideal, it's such a great place to escape. The bar/lounge area is the best place to enjoy sunset with a cocktail (happy hour is 6-7 every day). The breakfast was great, the dinner was shockingly delicious. The room could use an update (our bench was broken but we didn't care enough to say anything about it while we were there so that's on us) but also has everything you need. Would stay here again!

The view from our room was spectacular. We were in a corner suite with a lot of windows. We loved the town of Höfn as well and wish we had more time to explore. I did find the room to be in bad condition as far as the furniture. The couch was cloth. It was covered in stains and smelled badly. It made us uncomfortable to lounge in the suite that we paid extra for.

Loved the "remote" location and view of the glacier. Staff was wonderful. Great stop along the Ring Road at a good stopping point if you're starting a drive from Akureyri.

We stayed one night. The property was clearly given a superficial update: the lobby, facade, dining area, but everything beyond that was very dated and worn out. The brown carpet in the hallways was very worn, the room and bathroom finishes were outdated and not in the best of shape. If you are a side sleeper I might skip this hotel as the beds are incredibly firm. The shower in our room did not drain and the walls were paper thin, everything downstairs and the room next door could be heard. Breakfast was good. The only appeal of this property is the view from the dining room.
