What's nearby

  • Iceland is a magical place. I've never seen so many rainbows in such a short time. Single or double, every day we had a show! The glacier near Höfn is quite grandiose, but this rainbow with dark skies and great sun kinda stole the show! #Golden

Very clean and neat property. The corner rooms are a bit larger. Bathrooms are shared on each floor and are spotless. Same goes for kitchen facilities ( no stove but there is a microwave). I would ask for a room on second floor as the rooms next to the kitchen may be noisier if there are people preparing food at night/early morning. Friendly staff.

Convenient for short overnight stay

Convenient location in Höfn. Everything is close by. Small room but good communal area although everything can be a little close at times. Potential for noise from two other rooms if they are using the communal kitchen or the share bathrooms

Great spot, poor shower.

My son and I walked to the nearby athletic field which provided us a nice diversion from the car trip. The place was spacious enough except ... the shower was falling apart, most of what we touched while in the shower either came off or fell, and the drain was an extremely slow drain.

Confortavel e amigavel

Avisei que me atrasaria para o check in e a recepção foi muito atenciosa e simpatica, o quarto é amplo e muito confortavel, com uma linda vista, a cozinha compartilhada é bem equipada e o banheiro, além do chuveiro maravilhoso, possui piso aquecido. Adorei a estadia.

Nice but as everywhere in Iceland, very pricey

Cosy annex, was private as third room was unoccupied. Clean and comfortable with nice view. Need to ring bell for reception and hope somebody will come. No food but restaurants nearby.

Need to improve..

The apartment that we stayed is outdated and not so clean. Shower’s drain is very slow and make me feel disgusting during shower. The washing machine is not functional well. The guest house which own by owner next to apartment seem better choice.

Accueil sympathique, guest house parfaite, IL manque juste une plaque de cuisson pour cuisiner. Le four micro-ondes ne permet pas de tout faire c'est le seul point un peu négatif.
