This was a self check-in, where there was a post-it with our name and room number. Everything was clean and nice, my only nit-pick is on the kitchen, they only had 2 stove rings, and they were 4 different groups in the tiny kitchen, so we had to wait a while to start cooking.

Insufficient bathroom and kitchen capacity
Not what we expected. Too many people sharing bathroom, toilet and kitchen. Kitchen only had 2 cooking rings for 10 rooms. Only one toilet and bathroom for 4 rooms on ground floor. Upstairs rooms had to come out of building to get to ground floor to use kitchen. Room smelt of stale fish due to proximity of harbour...not hotels fault to be fair. Tap in room sink dripped all the time. Poor sound insulation. However easy to find, warm and comfy bed. Hotel in much worse vondition than photos on website show. Kind and helpful staff though think they are not based on site. Parking outside was plentiful.

Property was quaint, great location and view of marina, room worked perfectly for 5. Took a little to find the upstairs room but staff were very helpful and had it accessible for us as we called ahead due to travel & arriving late at night. Thank you!!

Had a great stay in the guesthouse. I was on main floor and found it was very quiet even though most of the rooms were occupied. Called ahead to get my room number and the key was in the door when I arrived which was great! There is a shared bathroom but I never had to wait to use it, and it was very clean. The shared kitchen had everything needed to make dinner, they even supplied basics like tea/coffee/spices etc. and plenty of seating. The room was quite large and very comfortable. Would stay here again!

Worth looking at for short stays.
Basic accomodation but clean, comfortable and well organised. Inside much better kept than outside which lowers its tone a bit. Pics of guest house makes it look a a bit better than it really is. Fine if spending a night or two. Personally I would look for a hotel next time as I struggle with sharing bathroom facilities.

We stayed at a 4 star hotel the night before this one and this one was better. Although the bathroom is shared, the location is ideal for Hofn. The views are really nice, serene, peaceful water. Within walking distance to restaurants and sights in Hofn. The bed is comfy and there is a sink in the room. If you’re passing through, this is a great accommodation.

So if you are looking for curb appeal, don't go. When we pulled up we thought we had make a really big mistake but due to the time of our arrival and the lack of options we had no choice. The room was clean and barely big enough for 4 of us but the bathrooms, showers and the kitchen were community spaces which were not our preference. We arrived late and they left us a key which was nice but we were relieved that we were only here for one night. The area around was OK as it was right near the water and there were some restaurants close by.
