Glacier World - Hoffell Guesthouse

Guesthouse

Very nice little hotel in a truly unique setting. Out of our window we could see the glacier and overall beautiful scenery. Icelandic horses are right outside (we fed them apples). Room was clean and neat, breakfast was quite good as well. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the literature says that there hot tubs and there are, but you have to drive a short ways down the road to them.

Very good food, spacious and beautiful rooms, not forgetting the hotpots to relax. Wonderful view of a glacier.

Very nice inn with nice staff. View great. Breakfast delicious, signs would be good.

Great experience with beautiful views. The thermal pools are amazing and so pleasant in the winter. Loved the room. The staff is very pleasant but relies on guests to call upon arrival during non busy season. Not easy for an international visitor.

A very sweet and cozy place to stay very close to the Glacier. Staff was super friendly. Rooms were clean and you can see the Glacier directly from the window. Breakfast was good. If someone loves to be in nature it's a perfect place. Only one small tip that sometimes Google maps show a different route towards this place, however you are not driven far away from the place. I would love to visit here again especially during winters to gaze northern lights.

Nice small hotel with friendly staff. Unfortunately we had only one night there. The hotel has good parking opportunities, a small museum and very good self made breakfast. From the dining room you have a good view of the glacier.

Great views at breakfast. View from the room unfortunately into the parking lot. Closer to the glacier you can only get to the glacier with a 4x4 car. Admission to the HotTube was included in the price.

Very good bedding, modern room with a view of an ice-cold language.

Amazing and perfect. We are alone in a super clean and cozy hotel house. Huge rooms. Individual bathrooms. A few breakfasts… Brutal. Also with breathtaking views of the glacier. The owners are a charmer. They make everything easier for you. They always try to make everybody great. Towels, soap, hair dryer good, super clean, a few pools of water to 38 degrees to two minutes walking… he's got it all. 100% recommended.

Young, dedicated, friendly and helpful Team. Nice rooms, good Service and super Breakfast. Highly recommended, anytime gladly again!

Great place to stay, try the food it is really great, local and fresh. Personal is wonderful.

Well modernized house, eat so lala.

Loved staying here. View of a glacier? Yes! And the hot pot/ hot tubs was such a wonderful addition to our time spent on the east side of Iceland. We recommend this B&B to all of our friends who are planning a trip. We'll hopefully be back in the future.

This place is one with some of the most incredible views from your hotel you'll ever see. From our bedroom window, or the gorgeous restaurant, you could see the expanse of an empty valley with mountains on the sides, trails through it, and a glacier in it's depth. There're also some refreshing hot springs to bath in. Aside from the hot springs, the aestetic is wonderfully modern. The views are incredible — I spent a lot of time outside just soaking it in, reading too.

Accommodation idyllic located and completely renovated. Great food. Young, dedicated team.

Super place here I would go back.

Views of the glacier, impressive.

Spectacular views to the glacier, incomparable place to sleep.

Excellent location with a new breakfast/dinner room overlooking the glacier, probably the best view one will get in the Hoffell valley. Rooms are very nice with own bathrooms (uncommon for guest houses) and floor heating. The stay at the hotel also gives you free dips at the local hot pools. Friendly staff (well, the single person acting as receptionist, restaurant server, etc).

This place was fantastic to stay at. We arrived in the afternoon on 4/1/2016 after finding out that the entire ice caving season ended that very day but saw the glacier from the road. We were greated by Happy the dog, the owner and booked room The hot tubs were included in our stay and were perfect for watching the aurora after our epic hike to the glacier. The drive to the glacier was 15mins and we did an hour hike along the right side of it and it was mostly safe. The hot tubs are open to locals and on a Saturday night it is a late night hang spot for Höfn teenagers. We had a blast and it was just ours after they left around 10pm. We brought a box of wine and a speaker and watched the Aurora come alive until the early hours. Breakfast was great and I can't wait to come back and recommend everyone to stay here!

Didn't stay at the guesthouse, but had a great time on the ATV glacier tour. A fairly fast, fun, bumpy ride :) (we even ran some sheep off the road) Next time we'll definitely make time for the hot pools!

We only came here to use their outdoor hot tub and it's definitely worth the 50min drive! can you imagine relaxing in a hot tub with spectacular views of the mountains and the sunset for just 500kr (£2.5)? if you can't then you have to come and see it yourself!
