Top Stafafell Hotel Reviews

Hotel Höfn

Hotel Höfn

8/10 Good
"We paid a fair bit to be in a building outside of the main hotel, the room was smaller than some of the guesthouses we have stayed in. The reception was good and we were able to have our room on the first floor which was welcomed with several suitcases. The bar and restaurant were good for dinner one of the few places we could find pasta! The bar had a happy hour to cut a bit off the drinks. We were able to get extra pillows which was needed. The buildings outside of the main building were fairly old it looked like a bleach spill on the stairs and in the hallways. I expected more for the price of it to be honest"
