Vatnajokull Glacier Yakınındaki Hofn Otelleri

Wir waren begeistert, und das ist nicht leicht uns zu begeistern. Wir haben in Island einige Kaschemmen gesehen, aber dieses Hotel hat uns sehr gefallen. Man muss das immer im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels sehen, denn die Hotelpreise in Island sind insgesamt recht hoch. Es liegt am Ufer und nahe des Hafens. Unser Zimmer war geräumig, hell, einfach und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und groß genug für zwei Personen. Das Frühstück war OK. Am Hafen befinden sich nette Restaurants in Laufnähe, wo wir sehr gut gegessen haben. Für einen Stopp auf der Island-Rundreise ist es bestens geeignet.

I have experienced youth hostels and campsites that were better maintained. The furniture looks like it came from the bulky waste, the window had a crack in the glass, the paint on the frame had peeled off completely, there was a hole in a tile in the bathroom, the veneer on the bathroom door was peeling off, I could continue the list. The two nights I stayed there, I did not dare to take a shower, as the mould on the rubber seals was not inviting here either, and in the mini-bathroom, moreover, there was no ventilation whatsoever other than through the door (i.e. there was no ventilation system/fan or similar - hence the mould, I guess). We also ate there on the first evening - a mistake. Lovelessly prepared, overcooked and at best mediocre canteen level. The only time in my entire 14-day Ring Road trip that I did not eat well. The only plus: the thoroughly nice staff. Even though it is the only one among the guesthouses/hotels in Iceland we stayed in where the staff is apparently not used to food and drinks consumed on site being written on the room and paid for on departure. This caused a misunderstanding as they asked the tour operator if full board was also booked and told us, panicking, we should immediately call the operator. This caused unnecessary confusion, but was the least of the problems. Overall, I cannot recommend a stay here. And since the trip was a very expensive one (several thousand euros through a regular travel agency and not a cheap provider), such a mistake in booking the accommodation should not happen. Very disappointed.

The service is normal, the location of the hotel is very remote,  is suitable for people watching stars or watching the aurora, but you have to be lucky with the weather, and you can bask in 9 air. The waiter service in the noodle restaurant is very good 👍🏻 The front desk is numb, clearly write left into the aurora aurora alam list but has not mentioned my place at all, thankfully I have a trip to go!

This hotel is very user friendly! Coffee drinks and milk yoghurt are available for purchase in unlimited quantities. Laundry and cooking facilities are complete, and seasonings are also available. Although the boss doesn't talk much, but the work is very positioning. Although we check out at 12 o'clock, we have to deal with the pictures, so we stayed at their restaurant until 2 o'clock, and coffee and other drinks are still available.

Advantages: clean and hygienic. Good location, close to the lobster shop. Disadvantages: The room is small, the most amazing thing is that the curtains are only 20cm long. We just lived on the first floor, a short curtain, and the clothes could not be changed. Iceland is so long every day, how do people sleep? I didn’t care if I called the boss, but I later negotiated through Ctrip. But the curtain problem still can't be solved. The door lock of the bath is also bad. You can only ask your friends to look outside when taking a shower. I chose this house for a long time, and I was speechless to myself.

The hotel is very close to the glacier lake and diamond beach, and it takes about ten minutes to drive. The hotel is very quiet at night in a small town. The room is very large, about 40 square meters, bath water or geothermal water. In addition to the accommodation room, the hotel also has a separate drying room for drying clothes (the taste inside is conceivable) for drying the soaked objects of the passengers. There are also coffee and tea in the public tea break area for guests to enjoy. Breakfast is also a more plentiful and very good hotel. Attached is a photograph of the breakfast restaurant hanging, but unfortunately I did not take such a beautiful scenery throughout the process.

This guesthouse is nicely located near Jökulsárlón(pick up location for many tour companies). It is right off the ring road 1. Away from town makes it a great location to view Northern Lights if they appear. Also, we had booked a snowmobile tour, the pick up point of which was a hotel hardly 5 mins drive away from the guesthouse We stayed in a room (room#1) with private bathroom the first night. The room was clean but a little too tight for two people and their luggage. There was a TV with free Netflix on it. The room had electric hot water kettle for tea/coffee We moved to a family cottage for the second night. This was spacious for two people with a seating area and a dining area. However, I expected it to be an upgrade over the previous room. But the cottage had no TV, no electric hot water kettle. It had a basic kitchenette with induction stove, a small refrigerator but no microwave. The breakfast had a number of items but no hot items (like scrambled/fried eggs, warm oatmeal/potatoes etc.) The dinner was better. I liked the fact that the lamb came with a good serving of veggies like peas and beets The Wi-Fi strength was decent in room#1 but was on the weaker side in the family cottage

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.

We spent just one night but we loved the accommodation. As a family of 3 we booked a private room with a private bathroom and loved the space. The hostel itself is very clean and in a residential neighbourhood. Everyone who was staying was very nice and the communal kitchen was easily accessible to everyone. We walked to the town and that was very doable. The town is quiet but there are a number of things to see in the area. We really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend it.
