Hof Hotels & Accommodations

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.

The service is very good. The hotel is good and the breakfast is very good. The distance from the glacier lake is not far.

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.
