This hotel had some pluses, and some minuses so here goes. The room was a good size and clean. However, the bathroom was so small that when you took a shower, everything in it got soaked. The sink was so small I could only get one hand under it, which was challenging. Breakfast was very good but gets crowded, so get there early. A few words of warning; the hotel is 2 levels and there is no elevator, so if you are unable to carry your luggage upstairs, this is going to be a challenge for you. Also, as with every other hotel we stayed in in Iceland, it has no blackout curtains so bring an eye cover if you need darkness to sleep. We did not hear any noise during the night despite the hotel being full. Finally, we called in the morning to confirm our room, which was supposed to be one queen and one double bed, however, the room we were given had 3 twin beds. A bit disappointing as the hotel was full so we could not get the room we booked.

The stay at the Viking Cafe was very pleasant. We arrived in the evening in drizzling rain. We were very happy about the kettle and tea and coffee. Nice hosts, delicious breakfast in a nice rustic atmosphere. The next day the sun was shining, the Vestrahorn mountain in front of the black dune beach was magical and beautiful. Unfortunately, the time to discover everything was far too short.

We had booked Arnanes for one night as a stopover between Vik and Egilstaddir and it was a great choice. After a long day traveling and sightseeing, it was nice to be warmly greeted upon arrival and given the information we needed for our stay. The rooms are single story rooms in a long row, with parking outside your door but we couldn't hear any outside noise when we were in the room. The room was a nice size and very clean. The hotel location was quiet, with just a little noise from the road. Arnanes is just outside Hofn so we chose to eat in their restaurant. The hotel was fully booked and it seemed like everyone else did the same. I chose the lamb and it was the best lamb meal I had in 2 weeks traveling around Iceland. Breakfast in the morning was a small buffet with plenty of options, although the area was a little crowded to maneuver. I would book here again if returning to the area.

A nice retreat in a quiet part of Iceland. We spent 2 nights here on our recent trip to Iceland. The cabins are just a short drive from Hofn, where you can find groceries, restaurants and a well equipped public pool (we highly recommend checking it out, our 2yo had a blast there with the baby water slide). The best bonus? A same day laundry service in town to help us wash all our winter gear before we continue on the second half of our trip! We stayed at the family cabin, the set up is 1 queen size bed and 1 twin bed in the sectioned off bedroom with a door. There is another twin bed opposite the bathroom. There is a studio apartment style kitchen with a dinner table, some simple seasonings, and an outdoor gas grill. We managed to cook our meals here easily for the 2 nights we stayed. The cabins are quiet, we enjoyed the scenery. The water heater had plenty of water for our family of three. The radiators kept us cozy and warm all night, we didnt even need blankets. We felt very relaxed here and would return should we find ourselves in Iceland again.

The room is not bad, but the sound insulation effect is average, the sound of bathing next door and the door opening are very clear. There are no surrounding facilities. Blackout curtains are average. The hotel can provide free eye masks Breakfast is average, not many choices.

The location of the hotel is still some distance from the town, but it is convenient to drive by yourself. The surrounding environment is OK. It is directly facing the snowy mountains. There is a beautiful lake next to it. The horse raised by the owner outside the room, but the room is not clean. There is a dead fly on our bed. The sheets are not clean. The room also has oversized mosquitoes, the bathroom and kitchen are shared, the basic supplies are also available, not worth the room rate, it is the least clean hotel around the island.

The room is still a bit smelly, the quadruple room is big but the toilet is small, and there are not many places to put suitcases, the breakfast is average, the choice is not very rich. Fortunately, it is very close to the famous lobster restaurant and can be reached by car in about 10 minutes.

Clean, spacious, well equipt, family friendly and good customer service! 😊 Tough times are a blessing in disguise, it always reveals the true color of the people around us.

Shoes are well organised with rack and oraginsers neatly stacked at entrance. Reception was friendly and informative. Room was clean and neat. In room wash basin was a big plus!

It is also children friendly with baby chair, cot and safe play area provided. Rooms are well sectioned with family rooms assigned at the back, away from the hustle and bustle. There are also rooms in basement. There is also a washer/dryer and small drying rack at the far end, past kitchens and book cabinet with reading materials for the avid reader. We had a good comfortable night stay and hope you do too! 🙂

The hotel is located next to the gas station at the entrance to the town and the rooms are simple and clean. There are supermarkets and various handicraft shops nearby. It is especially recommended that the restaurants in the town eat lobsters. Each has its own characteristics. In short, it is worth living in the town for two days.

In the small town of Hofn. Very small rooms. No cupbard. Very small sink and shower stall. Comfy beds. Near town amenities with supermarket. No bottled water, slippers, robes, safe etc. Kettle with coffee and tea. Actual keys to rooms vs key cards.
