Even if we had doubts due to his aspect, the restaurant (for dinner and breakfast) was very good and served a lot of homemade.

The woman in the reception of guesthouse Gerdi, where I checked in, was really nice and drew me a map of how to find the Old cottage. Unfortunately, it was still a little unclear how to find the right house. Once I'd found it, it gave a really good impression when I first entered the building. It was clean and looked fresh and the room was also very clean and inviting. The only thing I didn't really like was the rugged old chair from the 80'ies in the room, they'd do themselves a service if they threw it out. The room was a sauna when I opened the door, but I could adjust the settings on the radiator.
I had two bathrooms across the hall and I didn't experience any problems getting access to either of them.
Situated in Höfn, South Iceland region, Old Cottages is set 12 km from Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

Very good place for overnight. Self check-in as usually in Iceland, so contact only by email but very good one. Comfortable beds. Decent breakfast, but I would prefer more vegetables.

Nice space for a family of four. For four adults I think it would be cramped. Kitchen is good, shower also. Hotel in 10 mins drive for breakfast/dinner. Reasonable price. Very beautiful surroundings.

It's close to the diamond beach and the kitchen is properly equipped. The structure looks quite basic, including rooms, but beds are comfortable: for one night is completely fine.

The guesthouse gave a accurate description of the area so we knew what services were there and not there and could plan ahead. We loved walking around and the sights and hikes that were nearby. It was so easy to get to the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, and we could go back to see them at night too. The hosts had many recommendations for what to do and it definitely enhanced our trip!

Absolutely loved the variety of fresh, farm to table offerings, and homemade breads at breakfast. Dinner menu was extensive, meals were delicious. Enjoyed seeing the sea birds, and sheep in the pasture. Views of mountain and bay/ ocean were great. Very close to Glacier Bay and Diamond Beach. Peaceful. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend and will return when I come back to Iceland.

we had an early assembly for ice cave/glacier walk so the location was perfect (<15min drive). Nearby area to visit are Diamond Beach & Iceberg Lagoon but we missed that due to bad weather condition.

We chose it because of the proximity to the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. What we didn’t know was that it was the perfect place for a super comfortable first night after flying and a long drive. The owners contacted us in the morning to ask if we’d like dinner, which we gratefully agreed to, as we’d not been to this area before and knew we would be tired after a long travel day. The dinner was delicious with great choices, and was beautifully spread red and served. The surrounding property was stunning - farmlands and majestic cliffs filled with seabirds. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and new modern amenities. I will definitely return

Some great features in this part of Iceland, Diamond Beach was just incredible and like nothing else I have ever seen, just wish I had had the time to stay and take photos all day and night. The LAgoon upstream was also incredible, worth visiting after high tide and again as the time is coming in, the Icebergs move in a different way at both stages of the tides and it is worth seeing both.

its just great to see the icebergs at the lagoon floating out to the sea. If you have time, watch the whole cycle of the tide. Also don´t miss diamond beach. Especially in the morning when the sun rises you can take great pictures of the sparkling ice pieces lying on the black beach.
The location is good for joining tours from “Glacier Adventure” and you will get a discount from the Hostel. Moreover, you might see the Aurora light if you’re lucky enough. Furthermore, the WiFi network was strong. Also, you will meet different people around the world. If you forgot to buy some food before your arrival, 1. the hostel had a shelf in the shared kitchen which sells food; 2. there was a restaurant nearby. At last, feel free to enjoy the welcome cake and drinks.
Beautiful location with easy access to the glacier lagoon and surrounding areas! The room was clean and the hot shower was much appreciated after a long day in the rain snd cold. We planned ahead and brought sandwiches because there isn’t much in the way of food in the area and that worked out well with the mini fridge to store food over might. We were sorry we couldn’t stay longer, but will come back the next time we’re in Iceland.
We stayed in a beautiful, clean and spacious hotel room with views of the mountains. The bed was comfortable with soft pillows and bedding, and the bathroom featured a piping hot shower- perfect after a cold day of exploring the Icelandic wilderness, and Diamond Beach. Buffet breakfast featured an extensive spread of continental breakfast fare, fresh fruit, and hot beverages. A lovely place to stay the night.
The owners of the guesthouse are so friendly! Family run guesthouses are the best places to stay in Iceland. The place is sparkling clean and only a 10 minute drive from the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. There is also a restaurant and a tour operators in the little village which is all walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay at this place!
This was a great place to stay after going to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. The guest house was super clean and the staff was very friendly! It close enough that you can get the lagoon and the beach early morning or late evening to be there before or after the tour busses are there.
Excellent location alongside the Ring Road with beautiful mountain views. The host was so friendly and the kitchen area was cozy with complimentary coffee, tea & Icelandic cake made daily. A quick 11 minute drive to Diamond Beach and Glacier Lagoon made this the perfect resting place.
The whole family team does the extra mile to make you happy!
The dinner was amazing, both by food and by the people from the hotel.
They gave all the information about the Northern Lights, including live monitoring, and... voilá, we got to see it getting out of our Dinner!!!
This hotel is located at a very convenient location, really close to the jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. There are not many hotels around, also very few restaurants. This hotel has an in house restaurant with good food. The room was nice and clean. I highly recommend this place.
Surprisingly well.
Better than we expected for the price we paid (according to Iceland's pricing standards LOL).
And the restaurant was very nice.
Many choices for breakfast also ... comparing with the two-item breakfast we got in Reykjavik...
I recommend.

The location is perfect for Black diamond beach and Jökulsárlón Glacier lagoon. The restaurant onsite was perfect for dinner since the options in that area are limited. The staff were so pleasant and free breakfast was great before continuing our drive east.
The hostel is located in a very small village (few buildings), where there are also two restaurants. The room was good, the shared bathrooms were good, and the staff was very helpful and nice. It is a very good solution in such area. I recommend it.
Great location for Diamond Beach with an excellent restaurant next door. Rooms are cosy (like a cabin), but a nice size, and the place was clean. We saw an owner briefly, but checked in and out by ourselves, which is the norm in Iceland it seems!
Amazing place! The Hali Country Hotel is located in front of the ocean and has several beautiful buildings/little houses. Our apartment was big, very clean and perfect for 4 people. Very good breakfast.
Beautiful location. the restaurant has very good, homey, traditional Icelandic food for dinner. Breakfast is very good with lots of selections on the breakfast buffet.
This is an excellent location to visit the glacier lagoon Jokulsarlon. Roman was an excellent host and so welcoming. This guest house is clean and comfortable.
