I didn't stay here overnight, but some others in my group did, so I was able to see some of it and use the kitchen area. The room I saw was nice and those who stayed there enjoyed the place. The kitchen was nice too.
Super clean!!! We had to take our shoes off at the entrance (love that) and the first thing I noticed was that the bathroom was spotless. One of the cleanest places I've ever stayed at. The woman who checked us in was very friendly and showed us where everything was. The kitchen has everything you need to make yourself a nice meal. I plan to return to Iceland, and I will definitely return here!
Sadly not enough time here this year , so I’m coming again 2019.This hostel is the ideal place for a base to explore the coast an hour and a half either way .The local Netto is great for your shopping also .The new owners have poured their heart and soul into this project and will likely be the standard by which all hostels are judged .Amazing !
I really liked this hostel. It was very well maintained and managed. Enough number of washrooms, large kitchen and good limited beds in one room. The place was clean and the staff was great
We're realy wellcome
Here every body's smily, frendly. The "boss", men working, stop to care on you . "Do you want something, need something ?"
I spend 3 weeks in Iceland. There're the best.
Room, kitchen,.. All clean
Nothing To say more . Thank a lot To this good team. It was a good rest
Really nice place. Very clean and very friendly people
As a hostel, i found it a very comfortable place. Toilets clean, kind staff and very equipped kitchen. Very nice
I ADORE this hostel. I was only there for one night and wish I could have stayed longer. It was quaint, quiet, and full of friendly guests and families. The kitchen is spacious and well stocked. The rooms are comfortable, light and decorated nicely. The bathrooms were nice and included a sauna. Everything was very clean. The village is adorable and I had an amazing (somewhat pricey meal) at a small restaurant in the village center. This is a perfect stop for a quiet relaxing getaway in a mountain town.
Everything you need, but at a very steep price. Comfy beds, had a 2 bed private room. Quiet, they care about the environment, lots of recycling options. Big kitchen with all the necessary equipment for preparing a decent meal. Nothing special decor wise sadly.
I had 2 week trip booked to Iceland. Unfortunately I didn't get to go, as my dad was hospitalised and was in critical condition. Every single hotel and hostel I called to cancel my bookings was happy to do so without charging cancellation fees (regardless of their existing policy) due to extenuating circumstances. Even the car rental company and the airline were happy to refund me. This hostel? Refused to refund a measly $54. While $54 is nothing to cry over, it's the principle of the matter - I understand booking policies, BUT many hotels and hostels around the world understand stressful circumstances for their customers. It says a lot about a company if they are willing to hold onto a few $ from potential customers and give nothing in return. When I get a chance to visit Iceland, I will be avoiding this place.
Quaint, cozy, and comfortable, Hofn HI Hostel delivers quality accommodations and servives. The kitchen is large and the facility has many washrooms and showers. A bit on the pricey side considering the price of other hostels.
Cozy place not too far from the town with a friendly and helpful staff
Was ok for the money you pay. Is a huge one. They have two kitchens, the one upstairs looked very professionel
Very lively place. there are multiple kitchen/dining areas and its divided up based on which room you're staying in. its tucked away in a residental area, but if you follow the marker signs from the highway it's not too hard to find.
The building is kind of old inside, but the rooms are clean and the kitchen is big enough. The place is not particularly cute or charming.
Good cheap accomodation in hofn. 2 beds rooms are clean and have good value for the money. Most people leave in the early morning to the glaciers
We stayed in a 6-bed dormitory. Unable to connect to Wi-Fi from our bedroom, lights in the shower room were not working, shower head and faucets were broken, room was very cold even when the heater was set to maximum. But kitchen was well-equipped and reception was nice.
I didn't do my homework and booked this place despite the horrific comments. I was expecting the worst but it's really not that bad. Reception was fine, they politely answered my questions about the hostel and the city. The dorm room is a little tight but does the trick. Kitchen was functional enough Not an amazing hostel by Iceland standards, but I've seen much worse elsewhere. Totally fine for a night.
