This is probably the most sparse property that we stayed at on our trip but I don’t mean it in a negative way. It was a very simple and clean room. Everything was clean but it was simply beds and all in one bathroom. It’s intended to be a self check in so there is no one at the counter but we never got the room codes so that was a little nerve racking but we were lucky enough that an employee saw us and was able to help us with the room codes - she mentioned that this is sometimes an issue when you book through Expedia.

Great first night in Höfn for our trip. About 7 min drive to downtown/waterfront but we were so exhausted from the 7hr drive from KEF that was the furthest thing from our minds. The scenario is amazing and at this is the first place we experienced “midnight dusk”, so it will forever be a good memory.

Great beds-soft but not too soft. Note-only 1 pillow each. Only drawback was the shower—it soaked almost the whole bathroom.

pros: modern, clean, good/free parking, good location, easy drive to gas station and grocery store, beautiful views, comfy beds, great kitchen/sitting area in lobby (with microwave, table and chairs, forks, plates, spoons, bowls, coffee/tea, no fridge though). cons: self check in didn’t work (was given a code and a room number but our room was switched last minute and we were not notified, then at our new room the code for the door didn’t work and we were given a new code but the keypad lock on our door never did accept this code throughout our stay, no tv, kettle, microwave or fridge in room.

It was overall a good stay. Was disappointed that breakfast was not included in the price, as the listing said the hotel provided free breakfast. However, it was a nice, modern room and I did like the mountain view where you could see the northern lights if the conditions are right.
