Guest Reviews

• Guest (4/5): - Glacier Inn is not a hotel, it is a home. It only has shared baths, but advertises as having private baths. The man who met us at the property was very rude. DO NOT STAY HERE!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - This is not a hotel/inn. This is a four bedroom residential house converted for guests. There are two shared bathrooms even though we reserved a room with private bathroom. The room was small and just big enough for the two twin beds. No control over temperature and had to open window to cool room. We could hear people in the adjacent room. No TV in room. Luckily we only stayed for one night.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 2 bagni per poi dib10 persone, inaccettabile. Andrebbe specificato in fase di prenotazione
• Yann (2/5): Fausse représentation de hôtel.com attention! - Hôtel.com mentionnait que cet établissement offrait une salle de bain privée (cela est indiqué sur ma confirmation de réservation reçue de hôtel.com). C’est faux, les salles de bain sont partagées. J’ai noté en lisant les commentaires que plusieurs autres clients se sont aussi fait avoir! Le propriétaire de le l’hôtel dit qu’il faut adresser la situation à hôtel.com, hôtel.com dit qu’il faut adresser la situation au propriétaire de l’hôtel. J’ai utilisé les services de hôtel.com une bonne vingtaine de fois au cours des dernières annees. Considérant leur manque d’imputabilité et leur très mauvais service que j’ai reçu suite à cette fausse représentation de leur part, je n’utiliserai plus jamais leur service.
• Mirjam (8/5): - Positiv: Sehr schöne Lage, Parkplatz direkt beim Haus Negativ: Für drei Personen mit Gepäck etwas eng. Kontakt über Eigentümer bestand nur über Gegensprechanlage, keine Infos erhalten. Eingang zur frontseitigen Wohnung geht über Palettenstapel. WC-Türe lässt sich nicht richtig schliessen.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Disappointed by the level of service from the owner. The woman checking us in was speaking to us through an intercom and didn’t come out to greet us. A little human interaction would have made our welcome much better. The price of the room is also ridiculous for a tiny space and shared bathroom. Try to avoid this place if you can.
• Jo (8/5): - This is not really a hotel. Our room opened to outside like a motel. The room was small, basic, clean and comfy. Perfect for an overnight stay.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Treated as a walking credit card by the hostess in a bleak B&B.
• Antoinette (8/5): - The place was clean and well kept.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Gedeelde keuken en kamer. Keukenaccessoires zijn beperkt aanwezig, prima kamer en bedden.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Clean property... could improve communications and directions.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Bad experience - Shared house with other guest, No private toilet inside bedroom, only 2 toilets shared with 8 guest. Small bedroom. No greeting from households. Only get the key from key box.
• Giovanni (6/5): 勉勉強強住一晚 - 房間小，浴廁共用只有兩間，客廳大的要死，但房間很小，老闆沒什麼耐心，住房規定ㄧ堆，沒停車場，性價比不高
• Anthony (6/5): Propreté à revoir - La propreté est à revoir... (poussière sous le lit, évacuateur de douche bouché). Même si tout ne dépend pas directement de " l'hôtel ", il y a des choses à revoir.
• Jennifer (8/5): - It was a house shared by about 3 other groups. Basic but clean. We were able to cook a few meals there which helped cut down on cost. Going out to eat in Iceland is EXPENSIVE! Never saw the host but we checked in and out fine. The house is a little hard to find only because there is just a small sign on the door and not in the front of the house. It’s in a good location to sightsee around Höfn. We were satisfied with the accommodations.
• Brett (8/5): - Nice location and facilities for a quick overnight stay
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Accoglienza fredda..impersonale.spazio in camera insufficiente per aprire valige...spazi comuni un po meglio..
• Jenna (2/5): Don’t stay here - This place is very misleading. First of all it’s more like a hostel than a hotel. It was very expensive and was just a small room with 2 beds and no private bathroom as stated in the description. It is actually a house that you share with others and not a hotel at all. There was nobody to check us in and it was not easy to get a hold of the owners. Sharing a tiny bathroom with 8 strangers was horrible. You can’t control the air temp in your room and it was SO hot. To cool it off you have to open a window (no screens) and the bed is directly below the window. No blackout curtains either. You can hear EVERYTHING in the rooms next to you. It was a horrible experience.
• Kevin (6/5): Nice but needs managee. - This hotel is house in what looks to be a residential neighborhood which is fine. It is a modest sized house with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms living and kitchen area. The bathrooms was nice but you had to dry the floors when finished. Still ok. Bedrooms was small still ok. But they had 14 people in this house one night and the other was 10 people some of which was small children and running screaming. Nice family but too many people for such a little house. They didn't change our ththe towels and linen like most places do when you stayed for multiple nights. That is something that always gets me.
• Danielle (8/5): - This guesthouse is well-located and offers a comfortable living room, dining table, and well-stocked kitchen for guest use. There were 2 bathrooms that each had showers shared between about 5 guest rooms, which was a better ratio than several of our other guesthouses offered. The room itself was quite small without much room for organizing our belongings, but it was comfortable and clean and great for a one-night stay. We checked in with the hostess via an intercom system at the door, which worked smoothly. I would definitely consider staying here again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): OK for one night - There is no front desk in this building. Our room is clean. There are two shared bathroom without hair dryers. The kitchen is big with two refrigerators. I feel it's a bit pricey for what we got (compared with other hotels in Iceland).
• cemar!e (8/5): Guesthouse proche de l’océan dans quartier calme - Chambre petite mais confortable et propre Cuisine et salle agréables
• Verified traveler (8/5): in front of the glacier - We stayed only 1 night. quite comfortable apartment (2 bathrooms). Room a little bit small. free parking
• Mary (10/5): - I was very pleased with Glacier Inn. It's not really an Inn. It is 4 rooms sharing a house. My only disappointment was sharing bathrooms. I knew this going in though. The house was sparkling clean. Luckily, all of our fellow guests were nice and considerate of other's needs. This is important with rooms only big enough for your beds. Overall, it was a very nice experience.
• Frederic (6/5): Very very small - The "Inn" is actually a family house, where you stay in one of the children's rooms. While it is nice to stay in the kitchen and living room area, the room is really tiny for two people. We were lucky there was only us and another family in the evening, I can hardly imagine all 4 rooms full. Also, we did not receive any instructions for self check-in and had to wait for the keys person to arrive.
• Christophe (10/5): belle maison, super accueil, propre - Super accueil, belle chambre et une belle cuisine / salle à manger, maison au calme, un grand merci !
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Cute room, perfect size, lovely town.
• Dan (10/5): clean and nice - Very nice and helpful host. easy to find the location. need to bring your own shampoo. we enjoyed our stay.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Stayed two nights and the back half is the house was like a zoo with people coming and going between the four rooms for let sharing two baths. Hostess left her car idling as she quickly checked people in and seemed rushed. Was not able to park in the driveway the second night but street parking is ample. Only place we stayed without a hair dryer which was an inconvenience for my wife. Apparently they bought one when they opened but it broke same day - easier not to get another one than return a defective product.
• Travis (8/5): Good guesthouse. - Nice little converted house. Safe, clean, friendly and well located. Two shared baths for four rooms, nice big kitchen and living room. Decent prices too.
• Man (2/5): Terrible pour le prix - Prix exorbitant pour avoir une petite chambre dans une maison.... Beaucoup trop cher
• Debbie (8/5): It has a beautiful view of the glacier. - There were a few things that could have been improved on 1) microwave, 2) fix the broken facet in the kitchenette 3) some sort of a table or bench in the shower. More counter space would have been great.
• nancy (10/5): - It’s not marked. This is a house. It would help if we were told ahead that it’s a house. Also, it would help a hole lot if instructions on check in were emailed to us after making reservation. We never got instructions, and after a long day, we just wanted to rest.
• Dorte (2/5): Very high price for a very low quality - When we arrived we could not get inside the house, which had no name or any contact information on it. Fortunately some other guests came and they had a telephone number. After calling a lady came and opened the door. Of course we were upset about the situation, but instead of apologizing the lady was busy explaining their innocence and their own problems. Later the owner came and did the same, very disturbing. The room was very small, the materials of the house cheap and synthetic, and I woke up with a bad headache the next morning. We think there was a bad atmosphere and that it was a tourist trap.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Just a little more work......... - This recently remodeled room has great potential but needs to be completed. The plumbing fixtures in both the kitchen sink the shower and the toilet were new, but barely attached, the bathroom mirror was just propped up on the counter and a few of the overhead lights weren't installed yet. Just a little more work and this room would have been perfect.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Give this a miss - Just like a student hostel only MUCH more expensive. No key codes emailed so arrived and could not get in. Do not have phone so cannot ring. Another guest helped out with her phone or we would have had to sleep in the car!
• Hildigunnur (10/5): Four Icelandic lady friends - Four lady friends on the way from Reykjavík on a rountrip in Iceland. Good day´s drive from Reykjavik to stay in Hofn one night and on the road to Egilsstadir the next day. Thank you, all very nice. Hildigunnur and friends
• unhappyguest (2/5): Don’t stay here. Pass this one by. - There is no Inn. There is no check in. Unprofessional innkeepers who are only interested in you taking your shoes off, not parking on the street and making money. Chaotic check in procedure and impossible if you are not traveling with a phone. Owners blame any confusion with check in on the website you used and not with them. They only seem to be familiar with AirBnB and not interested in fixing the check in procedure. I have since learned it has happened to others. Wasted a lot of time trying to check in and find the place. It is a tiny house on a residential street with four small bedrooms with locks on them with small shared living space. Great if you are missing frat life. Technically close to golf course and beach but not in usable sense. Very mis-represented. There are lots of nice places to stay in Hofn. This is NOT one of them.
• Lezlieden (6/5): Hard to find and no one to let you in - Our GPS couldn't find this. The street has three sections and there's no sign on the building. We didn't receive any info from the hotel to tell us that we had to call the owner when we got there. A sign on the door would have been helpful. We ran into other guests who had the same problem so they told us what to do. Once inside, the room was comfortable and clean. Note that this is not a traditional hotel. There's a common area with a small kitchen, 2 bathrooms with showers, and 4 guest rooms.
• Lucille (10/5): Wonderful Hotel!! - We were late in checking in and the proprietor was so kind and waited for us. All with a smile. The hotel was really clean and nice.
• YIFAN (8/5): 空間不大，但一切都算是舒適 - 赫芬是個可愛的小鎮，雖然四人房不大，浴廁及廚房客廳也要和別人共用，但在下大雨、雪的夜晚，主人很熱情的迎接我們，比較像guesthouse的概念，住家旁的風景透過窗戶看過去就像畫一般。不同於其他冰島旅店self check in ，冰川旅館hotels.com下訂完後沒有什麼確認資料，所以我們是當日需自己打電話聯絡主人，主人出現後才把鑰匙交給我們，介紹環境。
• CJ (10/5): - Glacier Inn was great. Its a house, so it was nice to stretch out and relax a bit after some tight spaces (we have 3 kids). Definitely look forward to returning. Diamond beach who just
