Höfn Cottages enjoys an enviable location right off route 1, making it a strategic stop for travelers exploring the East of Iceland or circumnavigating the ring road. Positioned on the outskirts of the village, the cottages provide a tranquil retreat while still being conveniently close to the town center. This unique setting offers guests the best of both worlds: proximity to nature and accessibility to all essential amenities.
The central location means Höfn Cottages are within easy reach of supermarkets, gas stations and a variety of restaurants. This proves particularly helpful for shopping and refueling needs, including a supermarket that operates on Sundays. The quaint charm and coziness of the individual cabins are frequently noted with practical amenities like kitchenettes adding to the convenience. Several reviewers highlighted the comfortable beds and overall cleanliness of the cottages.
Despite being near the main road, the cottages maintain a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, offering a perfect layover spot for those on a road trip. Höfn itself is described as a beautiful village, complete with scenic walks along the harbor and opportunities for local excursions. The surrounding mountain views accentuate the serene environment, making it an ideal location for rest and exploration alike. The combination of easy access, centrality and serene surroundings makes Höfn Cottages a sought-after destination for both short stays and extended relaxation in East Iceland.
Höfn Cottages offer a cozy and charming stay in small wooden cabins that are well-suited for short stays. The cottages, described as cute and welcoming, feature comfortable beds and are generally very clean and well-maintained. They come equipped with essential amenities such as a mini kitchen, private toilet and sometimes a separate bedroom, making them practical for a night's rest. The location is convenient with easy access to a petrol station, supermarket and local restaurants by the harbour.
Despite their compact size, the cottages are designed to be cozy and offer a warm atmosphere, especially appreciated after a day in Icelandic weather. They're functional and practical, often described as perfect for two people but tight for four. The cabins have good heating systems, though some guests noted they can get too warm at night and there aren't always clear instructions on how to adjust the temperature.
The kitchens are generally well-equipped, although some found them minimally stocked. The bathrooms typically have a private toilet but lack showers with public facilities available onsite. While some guests found the cabins small and basic, they appreciated the privacy and peaceful setting with enough distance between cottages to ensure tranquility.

At Höfn Cottages, the comfort of the beds consistently earns high praise. Guests frequently highlight the spacious and well-appointed beds, often describing them as very comfortable with generous dimensions that pleasantly surprise. Lower bunk beds, in particular, receive mentions for their large size and cozy mattresses, providing a restful night's sleep for visitors of varying heights. The bedding is noted for being not only comfortable but also clean, contributing to an overall sense of coziness and warmth within the cabins. Additionally, the cottages themselves are well heated, ensuring a snug stay regardless of the weather outside.

Many guests praised their stay for being exceedingly clean and well-kept with comfortable and warm cottages featuring simple yet functional amenities.
