Hotels near Vatnajokull Glacier, Hofn

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.

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. We planned to stay in 2020 however Covid happened. Team was very understanding and accommodating to our predicament. It was a happy surprise to find premise exceeding our expectations too! 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!

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.

1.) This is NOT a 3 star hotel. The accommodations are very meager. 2.) The staff did NOT warn us about the Sandflies in the area upon check in. By midnight, our room was infested with these bugs that bite and itch. We had to leave in the middle of the night to make our return to Reykjavik to escape this situation. 3.) There was a bunch of horse dung outside our window as well that was disgusting and likely exasperated the sand fly problem. I emailed the owners and never heard a response.

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.

The service staff is a man and a woman, and they are very eye-catching, which makes me very useful for this kind of face control. The service attitude is also warmer than the average front desk, and the goodwill suddenly doubles. The breakfast is good, there are many breeds, and the cute little shepherd dog is very smart and very well-behaved. The room facilities are very complete, the room decoration is also very new, free parking, I highly recommend this.

The location of this hotel is very good, several small buildings have a sense of design, especially surrounded by a large wilderness, surrounded by mountains on one side, facing glaciers and valleys in the distance. There is no elevator, the highest should be two floors. It is very close to Hofen (Hepburn), and seafood can be eaten in the town.

The facilities here are very complete, there are more people coming to travel and stay, the breakfast is very rich, the environment is also great

The farm stay was clean and had all that we needed after a long day of driving and exploring along the Ring Road. All of the basic necessities were available. WiFi was fast. The area is quiet and conveniently located immediately off the ring road. We had dinner in Höfn before checking in for the evening as there are not any restaurants immediately next to the farm
