Hotel berhampiran Glacier lagoon, Hornafjörður

We just spent a night at the hotel and it was an amazing experience. The view from the hotel is breathtaking, the hotel itself is beautiful and the outdoor spa was incredible. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we had in Iceland. After dinner we went down to the bar for a couple of cocktails which were made by the nicest bartender and they were so good. We had breakfast in the morning and the variety of food was overwhelmingly good, there was something for everyone, and so many different delicious cakes. We chose this hotel because of how close it is to the glacier lagoon, it’s a short 5 min drive and then you arrive at one of the most beautiful places in Iceland. If you are going to Iceland you cannot miss the glacier lagoon, and I can only recommend you combine it with this hotel.

Wonderful

Good direction instructions. Chalet type quality building better than average but not luxurious - in isolated nature location with expansive views. Main benefit in winter is night-over location for next day visit to Hofn & Jokulsarlon glacier. Location easily accessed off A1 main road route. Only a 6/10 as a value proposition , lack of even a basic breakfast purchase option. A yogurt,fruit & croissant or sandwich via vending machine or breakfast box would add value. No amenities closeby. Note: If coming from Southwest last eatery on A1 is about 63km before residence. An hour to the East most Hofn restaurants closed for winter. Lock box entrance process efficient. Second floor apartment accessed by metal stairs. Three roof covered parking spaces utilized by three lower floor residents.No problem with parking on lot. Big wooden deck on upper floor for two available rooms. Larger third abode was cordoned off. Perhaps the latter abode has a hot tub but none was visible on site. Room was very warm on entrance. Comfortable bed. Request for not walking in shoes inside wood floored room. After seeing a tourist enter a shop in clampons I fully understand the need. A shoe rack though would be a welcome addition in winter. Bathroom and toilet combined. Ventilation is via small window. Electricity socket each side of bed. No usb outlets.So bring your own suitable plug. Good quality internet:53mbsdownload, 41 upload.TV was not programmed but Netflix/Disney was accessible. Wine opener Kettle & drinking crockery/cafetière. & coffee,tea,sugar is provided. No microwave or cooking possibilities. Security cameras very small, discreet and intrusive - directed straight into room windows! Overall location a benefit but need to have dined and breakfast groceries pre-purchased.

Muy buena estancia, dispone de cocina. La única pega es que tengas que ir a hacer el check in a otra Guesthouse... Cuando puedes hacer un auto check in.

We stayed for two nights at this place in the yellow house by the sea. We were on the lower floor in a two bedroom flat. Everything was just perfect and very clean. The mattresses were comfortable and the flat had a fully functional kitchen, but we had our breakfast (included) in the main building and also two dinners which were delicious and not expensive. The staff were attentive and we learned a lot about the farm from the hotel manageress. Do look at the museum (free of charge for guests) in the main building. It explains the live of a famous Icelandic author who was very avant garde and original. The access was good in the yellow house. You walk straight in

Overrated guest house. The menu the same every single day ( we stayed 3 days) Only three meunu choices. Food was decent. People are not super friendly. The worst part was they didn't tell us when the northern lights are available, or that we need to leave the site in order to see them. It was clear to them of that's why we were there...Because of this lack of information, we missed a whole night of seeing them. I found out later by someone else who's staying with the guest house right next door on the same lot that they saw The Northern lights on the night that I did not think we're out because they knew that they had to drive 10 minutes down the street where it was darker to see them! The bungalow was tiny for what they charged us. When we arrived the first night they didn't even have the heat turned on so it took 6 hours to warm the place. It was freezing! Breakfast was okay. The mirror was so high and tiny in the bathroom that it was useless to use. Guess they think guests who stay over 5 ft 5 inches ?! Only one trash can in the whole bungalow. I asked for another and they said too bad no can do. They wouldn't give extra towels or make up the room when you're out; and you have to ask for them. I would never go there again. I don't know why people like it because it's overrated compared to the other places I stayed. I suggest you look elsewhere. In sum, better prices, better rooms in the area than this.

Very nice hostel. I highly recommend this to everyone who needs a place to sleep when traveling in this part. We stayed in a 5 person room, my partner and kid, plus two friends (adults) and we all enjoyed our stay. The only thing we did not enjoy was the squeaky metal beds, I thought my upstair partner kept going in and out of the bed..she just turned around! So bring your ear plugs, but everything was clean, we had our own bathroom, but the shared ones was also nice. Big kitchen and eating area (we did not use it though, arrived late and left early). But I would absolutely go back here in the future.

居住地點舒適，洗手間很大

Very disappointing stay in June 2023. We were supposed to stay for two nights but left after only one. Our room was very clean and had a lot of storage space but as we laid down to go to sleep we noticed a large patch of black mold way up in a corner of the ceiling. We tried to switch rooms then but the hotel was full. My daughter and I both have a severe mold allergy and in the morning we were both symptomatic. After breakfast I noticed paint marks on the ceiling where someone had previously tried to cover up the mold. Looking outside we saw a massive hole in the roof right over our room that could let even more water in. The breakfast hostess and manager were both very kind and apologetic. They said they knew about the issue and offered to let us change our room. Knowing that there was such a significant problem with one room made us skeptical about the other rooms and we decided to leave. It also left a bad taste in our mouths that the owner would rather cover up a health hazard instead of fixing it. In short, this hotel needs some repairs. If you can avoid room 116 you’ll probably have an ok stay. Other than the mold we didn’t have an issue with service, cleanliness, breakfast, or noise.
