"Very few affordable choices in this area and Adventure Hotel Hof was the perfect base nestled between Skaftafell Park and Jokulsarlon. The rooms are small but super clean with service during the day. Friendly and attentive staff. The breakfast was standard and was a good start to the day. Even had a good dinner one night with the Expedia discount! If you're not looking for a glam hotel that is going to bend your wallet even further, Adventure Hotel Hof is an excellent choice!"

"Super clean and very comfy. The kitchen was very nice with everything you need for cooking. The only thing that was a bit confusing was the check in process, because the reception was in another location. It would be helpful if there were signs and they just emailed you the code to the key box with your key, and room number, rather than going offsite. Other than that, very much loved the cute cottage."
