Popular Hornafjordur 4-star Hotels

Everything about this hotel was great. It’s newly made- and the design is beautiful with big glass windows everywhere. Their hot tubs and sauna are also incredible and these overlook a lake and a glacier. We could see all this from our room and even the northern lights. Add to the facilities- the exceptional service. (All but one server at their restaurant was incredibly kind) All but one staff went out of their way to help and accommodate all our needs. And finally their breakfast- I have no words. And I don’t say this easily. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels. And most have just the same spread. This one was truly exceptional. We ended up spending way longer than we planned and got delayed because we couldn’t stop eating. Don’t think twice- go for this hotel. You’ll not regret it. This is not a criticism- just an advice for the hotel to add maybe some more vegetarian options to the menu- or if they’re not available to accommodate guests with a kids menu- or some bread starters. I still rate the hotel 5/5 but one server was quite unhelpful with providing us more options. And this was a slight hitch in a more than perfect experience. And the person at the reception totally helped us out and accommodated us after!

Because I made an appointment to see the ice cave the next day, I found that it was only 46 kilometers away from the meeting point. Although I had to go back, the price was the most cost-effective, so I booked it. We didn’t arrive at Glacier Lagoon until 10 o’clock in the evening. After taking pictures, we arrived at the hotel at 11:30. I discovered that there is a large glacier behind the hotel. You can completely see it from the window of the room. When you were lying on the bed, you also found that there was a skylight on the roof. You could see it while lying on the bed. See the stars and auroras! The space is indeed a bit small (a common phenomenon in Icelandic hotels!), but despite its small size, it was fully equipped and we made dinner in the room. There is floor heating in the bathroom, which is very nice👍
