Very quaint and QUIET seaport town.
Very quaint and QUIET seaport town. A lot of the restaurants and bars were closed during my stay but was able to go to 1 of them which was lovely. It's a very far east part of Iceland I recommend going to, even if it is for 1 night.

Gem! This was worth the extra drive to visit. Honestly it was my favorite part of Iceland. Rugged beauty without the long line of tourist buses to contend with. Stokksnes Beach is a hidden gem at sunrise!

The Berjaya in Höfn is in a wonderful position with the harbour on one side and a view out across the water to the glaciers and the west on the other. It is also easy walking distance to all the local bars and restaurants.

Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland.
Hofn is a lovely town in SE Iceland. It has numerous, easy walking paths thru town and around their waterfront including a golf course with views that I think rival those of the finest courses in the world. Not a golfer, but if I were, this is a place I would want to play. It was spectacular. The views of the glacier were outstanding. There were several good restaurants, lobster is a local specialty. There are nature and art trails along the waterfront and a number of good historical exhibits. Wished we could have spent more time here. It felt like a vibrant, fully functioning community that I would have liked to explore more.

it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips.
it was one of the most expensive stay on our 12 days trips. The room did not match the pricing.
There were not microwave nor toaster nor any other means to warm up any food. Only one working chair in the room.
It was clean, but not worth the price.

Unlike tourist traps in the USA, Hofn is a marine village built to accommodate itself throughout the seasons. It's a place to relax, take in the fresh air, and chill. Its natural beauty is more than enough.
Seljavellir Guesthouse in Höfn, Iceland, exceeded all our expectations! The guesthouse itself is beautifully designed, with cozy and comfortable rooms that make you feel right at home. The stunning views of the surrounding mountains and coastline added to the charm of our stay. The location is perfect for those wanting to experience the beauty of Höfn and its surroundings. We highly recommend Seljavellir Guesthouse to anyone visiting Höfn, Iceland!
Very convenient location right off the main road. Easy to check in and offered a common room area. Room itself was typical for Iceland--kind of small but clean and well equipped. This was perfect for our quick overnight stay and was a great location to explore the Crystal Cave and that area. It wasn't fancy but was well priced for Iceland and fit our needs.
The location of place was great
The staff were nice
The biggest I liked about the place is the safety
I just found out I lost my credit card outside of the hotel and the staff saw it and they kept with them till reached them I mean that a place where you want to be it represent the hotel it represents the staff and represent Iceland well done !
Stunning views, nice room and excellent breakfast.
The guest house overlooks the glacier and gentle meadows dotted by flowers. In the morning we were greeted by a couple of sheeps near our room window.
Breakfast was very good compared to other hotels we stayed in Iceland. It featured fresh fruit, cold cuts and handmade cheese.
I would say best "hostel" ever. We arrived late and after communication with reception via phone, they left card on the reception. Kitchen is huge, ideal for making food for the journey :)
Bed was the most comfortable I had in Iceland, what a sleep!
I will definately stay here if I ever come back.
Very comfortable studio. Simple but clean and the kitchen was reasonably well equipped. Wifi worked fine. The bed was comfortable. It was an easy walk (even in the rain) to two excellent restaurants. We ate at Pakkhus and had the best meal of our weeklong trip around Iceland there.
This is a slightly older hotel located outside of Hofn, but it was fully booked when we stayed there. The facilities are definitely on the older side, but generally alright. The breakfast was fairly typical of Icelandic breakfasts (bread assortment, cold cuts, yogurt and fruit).
Out of the way location, but gorgeous scenery. A stay here includes one of the best breakfasts we had in Iceland. Also included is a visit to the Viking village prop set and around an old army base with huge crashing waves and incredible mountain views!
Hotel with older equipment, but everything clean. Great location if you're doing the Iceland circuit. There is a small town nearby with restaurants, shops and a petrol station. Great choice for breakfast. Kettle, coffee and tea are available in the room.
Location Is awesome view from window in morning on mountains… cool… I do live in Iceland so I do travel sometime in some hotels and this is something else… it is quiet and calm atmosphere… Definitely recommend and I will visit when I will be in Hofn…
The guesthouse is situated quite conveniently close to the South Iceland main road. For kids a table soccer offers some distraction. As the next city (Höfn) is still 25 km away, it is nice that the guesthouse offers dinner as well as breakfast.
Highly recommend. Exceptional guesthouse. You feel at home immediately. Comfortable and quiet. Bonus to have your own bathroom. Inga is a wonderful host who truly welcomes you and helps her to experience the best in Hofn and in Iceland.
The room was clean, I was happy to have a private bathroom, very few options for this in Iceland. We did breakfast on our own. Just stayed one night. Nothing really stands out about this property, but I do remember it was clean.
It's a hotel, so all the usual hotel stuff. Welcoming staff, all very polite. Everything in Iceland is expensive, so nothing new there. The rooms was small, but I did pick the "Economy double" so no complaints.
The room was very spacious and clean and had a big bathroom. I loved the views to the glaciers. Breakfast was good and varied and had Icelandic cheese (only guesthouse which offered proper cheese for breakfast).
It is a guesthouse in the countryside and one doesn't expect much of it, but it was a bit isolated and far from everything. A good station on the road to more interesting places in Iceland.
Very nice rooms. clean and comfy. overall a nice hotel to stay in at Hofn. good location. we walked from there to a near by restaurant. staff was helpful. all good.
The style of the hotel was an Icelandic winner..The view from. The large picture window was incredible. Location right on Ring road was convenient for travel.
