About this stay

This guesthouse provides a comfortable and convenient base in Höfn, right by the harbour. The shared kitchen is well-equipped for preparing meals, and the communal lounge offers a relaxed space to unwind after a day of exploring. The modern decor throughout creates a fresh and inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the garden and terrace when the weather permits, making it a pleasant spot for families and couples. The proximity to Höfn Visitor Centre, just 300 metres away, makes it easy to plan excursions into the surrounding Vatnajökull National Park.

Our take

I would book Old Airline Guesthouse for a budget, self-catering stop by the harbour in Höfn: the shared kitchen and lounge are modern, WiFi and parking are free, and a washing machine helps mid-trip. Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is about an hour's drive, which makes it a sensible base for the south-east. Rated 9.1 from 315 reviews; the one trade-off is shared bathrooms, so book elsewhere if you want an en-suite.

  • ✓Make use of the shared kitchen to prepare your own meals and save on dining out.
  • ✓Take advantage of the communal living room to relax and meet other travellers.
  • ✓Visit the Höfn Visitor Centre, just a short walk away, for local information and tips.

Why we love it

  • Convenient harbourside location in Höfn
  • Well-equipped shared kitchen and lounge
  • Modern decor and comfortable rooms
  • Easy access to Vatnajökull National Park
Why guests love it

Höfn sits just off Route 1 in Southeast Iceland, and Old Airline Guesthouse stands by the harbour with modern rooms, a shared kitchen and lounge, and a washing machine for mid-trip laundry. Bathrooms are shared, which keeps the price down. Our editorial take for families and couples: cook with the local langoustine, dry the hiking gear overnight, and leave early for Jökulsárlón, about an hour's drive west, before the tour buses fill the car park.
