Everything was super new, it seems that this place has just started operating very recently. All the furniture including the kitchen tools are very new which is a plus. The view from the big window of the glacier was also one of the highlights. I would rate this place as one of the best accommodations we've booked on our ring road trip.

- right opposite to the supermarket. short walk to local restaurants and shops. - shared kitchen with everything you need for cooking, even for groups - complimentary tea and coffee; and light breakfast (cereals, muesli, milk and yoghurt) - private bathrooms in each room - sunny rooms - you do need to bring your own shampoo and body wash, which is fine - laundry is available if you are staying for more than 2 nights (Mar 2023) - relatively clean - great area to stay for 2 nights if possible. check in for proper rest after the long drive/site seeing from Vik; day trip/hiking/northern light seeking around Hofn; check out after a good night sleep before heading back to Vik or Reykjavík
