I had the pleasure of staying at Árnanes Country Hotel, a family-owned gem that immediately felt like home. What made my visit truly special was the warm hospitality of the owners. They generously shared insights into fascinating, off-the-beaten-path destinations that I would have never discovered otherwise. These unique recommendations added so much depth to my exploration of the surrounding area.
The relaxed vibe extended to the morning routine as well. I appreciated the flexibility around breakfast times—there was no rush, and I could enjoy my morning meal even if arriving at the end of the schedule, savoring it without feeling hurried. This laid-back approach contributed significantly to the overall feeling of comfort and ease during my stay.
My accommodation was a charming little house entirely constructed from wood, with thoughtful and attractive decorations that created a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The eating area followed suit, adorned with vintage decorations and decorative natural flowers, making every meal feel special.
Having a parking spot right next to my house added an extra layer of convenience, simplifying my daily excursions. While the accommodation didn’t offer dinner during my stay due to the low season, this turned out to be a hidden blessing. It led me to explore the nearby city of Hofn, where I discovered some fantastic restaurants for my evening meals.
In summary, my stay at Árnanes Country Hotel was nothing short of delightful, thanks to the incredible warmth of the owners, the beauty of the surroundings, and the comfort of my accommodation.
I left feeling refreshed and grateful for the experience.
Just 5 minutes’ drive from Höfn in south-east Iceland, this hotel is found along Route 1, close to the country’s largest glacier Vatnajökull.

Located by the harbor 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.

This is as our 2/4 home for our trip, and we hit one of the worst storms en route. Check in time ends at 7pm, fyi.
The room is a little tight but works for a couple. Otherwise the location and breakfast from the cafe was absolutely amazing. The view is breathtaking. The Viking village was so cool. Get the waffle !!!!
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.😁
Best hotel of our trip, clean and comfortable, great view.. Would recommend to get dinner there, it is not too expensive, it was the only time in Iceland we got the same or better quality of food as you would get in Germany for the same price. Breakfast was above par too.
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.
Clean hotel. Breakfast was good standard Iceland fare: eggs, yogurt, bread, fruit, meats...ect. pretty setting with trees. Very rural with not much around, but we only stayed one night and didn't get a chance to find anywhere to eat nearby or do much.
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.
Everything we encountered in your town met our best expectations. The only little disappointment was the lack of choices for breakfast. We would definitely recommend your facility to others we know that might travel to Iceland.
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.
My second time staying at the Milk Factory. Still one of my favorite stays on a trip through Iceland. Easy check-in, check-out experience. Family room is great value. Breakfast is plenty. Friendly and helpful staff.
Everything was perfect! Absolutely beautiful views, super comfortable room and the host was so friendly. We loved meeting the dogs too! It was such a special place and one of my favorite accommodations in Iceland.
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.
So clean and comfortable. Very well stocked kitchen with an espresso machine. Perfect location near the harbor. My favorite guesthouse we stayed at in Iceland!
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.
Inga was a terrific host and shared a great deal of information about Iceland and the farm with us. The rooms were great and the breakfast was excellent.
