Great hotel
Lovely location overlooking the mountains and also glimpses of the glaciers from the room we got
Room was really good sized and had all amenities needed
Property in clean condition although the electric car charger wasn’t functional and the staff had no information about it
Breakfast spread was decent, although have seen better options
Parking plenty but the hotel is slightly outside the town of Hofn

A very beautiful property in a stunning part of Iceland. Our rooms were spectacular. The breakfast was excellent. However it is the staff that makes the hotel a special place. Make sure to check out the Pakkhus Restaurant in nearby Hofn.
