Conveniently located off the ring road, before turning heading on to Hofn. Nice big room. It was located in another building on the site, separate from the reception building. It had a big lounge area which made for a nice place to relax outside fo our room but still in the warmth.
Located by the harbour in Höfn, this property is surrounded by Hornafjördur’s outdoor activity possibilities. Guests can enjoy mountaineering, snowmobile glacier trips and ice climbing in the area.

The cabin was a cosy comfortable place to lay our weary heads. They do not serve evening meals there so had to travel into the town for food. Breakfast was varied and plenty. The young Greek lady at reception was very helpful and welcoming.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

They were brand new cottages. Our family was the very first staying in when they launched that evening. Isn’t it a coincidence 😀 so everything was new and fresh specially the beds were spacious and the bed linen was crisp.
We stayed in for two nights with perfect location and the snow clad mountain 🏔️ views
Situated in Höfn village just 2 minutes' walk from the harbour, Guesthouse Mikael offers free parking and and brightly decorated rooms with free WiFi access.

It is self-check in, so we did not meet any staff.
But very easy to check in.
International travellers can fly into Keflavík International Airport, then take a domestic flight to Höfn Airport (approx. 5 hours). Alternatively, drive from Reykjavik to Höfn (approx. 450km, 5-6 hours). Domestic travellers can fly or drive from Reykjavik. No direct water transport available.
The most convenient airport for both domestic and international travellers is Reykjavik Airport, due to its frequent flights and services. It's approximately 450km from Höfn.
Höfn, a small Icelandic town, lacks a public transport system. However, it's easily navigable on foot or by bicycle due to its compact size. Car rentals are available for longer distances. Always check local weather conditions before setting out, as they can change rapidly.
The best area to stay in Höfn, Iceland is the town centre. It offers convenient access to local attractions like the Vatnajökull glacier, restaurants, and shops. It's also close to the harbour, providing stunning views and opportunities for boat tours.

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.
Inga is the best host we have ever met. She is very kind and friendly. She showed us the lovely animals around the farm (the dog Isey is so adorable) and answered all our questions about Iceland. Staying here is truly one of the best b&b experience we’ve ever had. The room is clean and the breakfast is delicious! The location is very close to vestrahorn and the town hofn. We can’t wait to go back and will definitely stay longer next time when we visit. Highly recommend this place!
Good location on the outskirts of Hofn assuming you have a car and easy to find along to main road into town. Good private parking in front of the hotel. The room was quite large and spacious and so was the bathroom. Bed and bedding were very comfortable. Breakfast was basic continental but was good and staff were very helpful if items ran out. There is one of the automated coffee machines which are quite common in Iceland.
Rooms are comfy, clean and the units are just what we needed for 1 night. We had already done groceries so we had the breakfast in our room. You can make tea/coffee and there is a table with 2 chairs meant just for this. Nice view too regardless if you having a room with our without mountain view. Diner in Höfn is perfectly feasible. Good stop between Vik and the northern / west part of Iceland.
Beautiful location - newer facilities. Our room was on the second floor with a view to the glacier. Room is very well appointed with separate areas for shower, toilet and sink and partially heated floor . Service was excellent. A special shout-out goes to the bartender gal who took the time to give us an overview on Iceland beer, liquors, gin & whisky. And be sure to catch the happy hour !
If you've never been to Iceland, get used to sharing showers, bathrooms, and kitchen with all the other guests. They're really nice bathrooms and kitchen, but you might not be used to it. But it makes for great interactions with staff and fellow travelers.
If you're an extrovert, this stay is perfect for you. Introverts might have less fun here.
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.
Staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great, we had great views of both the sea and the glacier. It it is very secluded so we decided to dine there and the food was amazing the lamp is from the Farm and the tomato soup was delicious I think is one of the best meals we had in our stay in Iceland
A hotel that with the backdrop of Vatnajökull behind. It is located inside the town of hofn. Hofn is one of the underrated town and is a picturesque town in its own rights. Will recommend to friends to visit this town as all the amenities are walkable distance despite the Icelandic weather.😁
The guest house has a perfect location, close to the Iceland main road. The staff was very nice and friendly, the room was clean and comfortable. The view of the guesthouse was exceptional, you can even se the glacier form far away. We will definitely be back soon!
Once you travel around Iceland you quickly realize, the hotel options aren’t lavish. This property is basic and gets the job done for a nights sleep. We had to book 2 rooms for our family of 4. So it was 2 twins in each. Rooms are decent size. Room was clean.
Some hotels in Iceland are perfectly crafted for tour buses. Hotel Jökull is one of them–but surprisingly they're also excellent at treating people travelling without buses!
The room was spacious and comfortable, and the service was extremely pleasant.
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.
Really spacious modern apartment. Great furniture and huge kitchen. Was one of the nicest places we stayed at in Iceland. And within 5 minutes of restaurants and bars in Hofn. Would definitely recommend Pakkhus for dinner.
The hotel will turn on the heating and air conditioning in advance, which is very satisfactory, and for the Icelandic weather, who doesn't want to feel the warm environment as soon as you enter the house
Super nice facility, free tea and coffee, best kitchen I’ve found so far in a hostel in Iceland! Perfect location and great place for northern lights if you drive out of town 5 min
Amazing view, really good breakfast, super friendly stuff. Shower, toilet, bed - everything was perfect. One of the cheapest and one of the best accomodations we had in Iceland.
It's right in the middle of Hofn and nice place to get break during your long Iceland drive. Rooms are cozy and warm. Worth for money. Host was so helpful and friendly.
