“Hotel Hoefn strikes me as a smart choice; renovated with glacier views and proximity to the town center, it is near enough to local life, while still providing that remote Iceland feel. I appreciate its sustainability focus and modern touches, even lending bikes to explore the peninsula. The complimentary breakfast and on-site restaurant make it quite convenient, too.”
