Unlike many "hotels" in Iceland that turn out to be little better than hostels upon a closer look, this guesthouse is in fact comparable in quality to a very good 3 star hotel. The room was very large, featuring a very comfortable bed, panoramic windows with awesome views and a spacious bathoom with modern facilities quite unlike rusty, leaky, smelly camping-style WCs we've had to live with at some other places. Everything was perfectly tidy. The place was a very welcome respite after a mouldy motel we had to stay at the previous night. There is no on-site restaurant, but the guesthouse is 5 minutes drive from the centre of Hofn. If you come in high season, you will most likely have to book in advance as there are very few restaurants in the town and they tend to be fully booked. Borislav, the guy at the reception, was incredibly helpful in a lot of practical ways. If you are reading this, Borislav - many thanks to you mate, it was really nice getting to know you! Given the place's very reasonable rates, I highly recommend this guesthouse. I am not giving good reviews lightly, for I do expect to receive quality when I pay for it. Milk Factory certainly delivers.

Very cool conversion of an old milk factory on the edge of Hofn. Plenty of parking, nice view from outside, hip and bright interior spaces w/ references to the factory history, large breakfast room w/ an ample buffet (which was actually included, unlike all our other Iceland hotels), friendly staff, bright and high-ceilinged room (we had the family room w/ the loft) w/ a huge window (but decent shades). All-in-all a fun place.

A little noise from the hallway and, as w/ our other Iceland hotels, a smallish bathroom. But those are quibbles.

The breakfast was a typical Icelandic breakfast (cold cuts, cheeses, fruit, bread and boiled eggs) but the homemade bread they served was so delicious! It was by far the best of the hotel breakfast’s that we’d had our whole trip. They also had the hottest shower water of all the places we stayed in. It was nice to take a hot shower instead of a warm one for once.

Give an extra pillow. Idk if it’s an Icelandic thing that every place only gives 1 pillow per person but it would be nice to have 2 pillows.

Perfect location! Situated just on the edge of Hofn', includes everything you need for a pleasant and comfortable overnight stay. Our room had two queen beds, one on the main floor and one upstairs (in the same room of course). Very clean and plenty of space for our family of three.

Room was a little difficult to moderate the temperature. Our stay was during Winter, so on the colder side. Heating is hot water radiator. So changes in settings take a little longer than what we are use to. Oh yea, and the windows draw condensation due to their size (very large) and the radiator located right below them. Remember...it was Winter. Not a big deal, just need to mention.

Good location on the outskirts of Hofn assuming you have a car and easy to find along to main road into town. Good private parking in front of the hotel. The room was quite large and spacious and so was the bathroom. Bed and bedding were very comfortable. Breakfast was basic continental but was good and staff were very helpful if items ran out. There is one of the automated coffee machines which are quite common in Iceland.

Overnight there was no heating or hot water - this was not the hotel's fault - there was a major supply pipe failure in town. However, staff didn't tell us when we arrived and we only noticed when we got back to our room after dinner and saw a small sign on the wall.

Unique location in a converted milk processing factory - although it really just looks like a nicely remodeled hotel with some photos and decorations reminiscent of its former role. We had a four person room which ended up including a loft with two beds upstairs, which we were not aware of. The stairs were wide and safe but could present a problem for some. The main room was quite small but nicely decorated. The upstairs loft included a small freestanding fan, which I used to bring in some fresh air. The bathroom facilities were fine and the rain style shower wonderful. They provided an included breakfast buffet that offered good quality foods. The hotel is located in Hofn, which was our favorite town outside of Reykjavik with lovely walking paths, nature and art trails and some good restaurants.

Rooms were quite small and it was relatively expensive - more expensive than the nice hotel where were stayed in downtown Reykjavik. There are limited accommodations in the area, so that is probably a factor. The grounds around the hotel are not attractive and it is just off the main road into town, but it was quiet.

Very clean, good storage. Nice walk in shower. A full breakfast spread included -meat, cheese, bread, fruit, juice, cucumber and tomato, coffee and tea. Location was close to Hwy 1 . Good restaurants including Pakkus-go early! Our unit had a queen bed downstairs and one upstairs in the loft.

There was a lot of traffic and was loud at night. The unit was really warm, especially in the loft. We’d recommend to Milk Factory to have fans available. Tried to leave the windows open but traffic was loud.

Room was nice, good shower and nice buffet, which was included.

The staff that greeted us were just okay. Every other place we stayed on our nine night trip seemed more welcoming to guests and engaging. Basically, they checked our name for registration and handed us a key. When asked about places to eat, since the location is not really within walking distant, the receptionist pointed to a few menus sitting on the counter, but offered no suggestions or seemed interested. Some places don’t seem to appreciate that we could have stayed on a dozen places nearby, but chose this one.

The hotel is a converted Milk Factory, with the rooms surrounding a central breakfast area. It is on the northern edge of Hofn, a bit out of town, but we liked the peaceful setting. We had a room on the north side with a beautiful view over farmland to glaciers in the distance. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was small but adequate with lovely very hot water in the shower.. Lovely friendly welcome at reception, excellent recommendation for dinner downtown and breakfast was good.

The exterior of the hotel could use a coat of paint but otherwise, I couldn’t fault this hotel. It is excellent. For the hotel’s information, we are from Australia. Booking.com stupidly continues to say HongKong in the published review even though the Preview says Australia.

Breakfast was very nice with enough options to suit every palate. It was a continental breakfast - so no hot food. But there's a lot of other stuff available. There's a fancy coffee machine that makes you all kinds of good coffee, and it's available all the time. There's always a kettle and tea bags available all the time as well. In peak season you may want to consider going earlier or later than the usual 'standard' breakfast time as it can get a bit busy and unfortunately some people (guests) are selfish and take entire plates of tomato slices just for themselves. Yes - this actually happened to us. People will be people. The staff are fantastic. Very accommodating and very polite. The facilities are quite nice and very clean - so no issues there. The communal area has ample seating - more than enough for the amount of rooms they have. It's open all the time (although I think there's a quiet time cut off after a certain time because there are rooms that run along the corridors on either side of the lounge area). The building is about a 15 min walk into town if you don't want to drive. We walked most of the time because it's easier and you can have a drink or two. Our room was accessed from the outside of the main building - Room #101. It's a lovely, spacious room with a double bed, sofa/seating area, massive bathroom with rainfall shower, smart decor and views of the front and side. The side window has views of the field next door with the sweetest horses. It's a very quiet location and it's really cool the way they've decorated the communal area with photos of the old milk factory that used to be there. Complete with lab coats and white boots! There's ample free parking in the parking area just out front of the building - very handy. Overall it was a very pleasant stay and I would definitely stay there again next time we're in Iceland and in the Hofn area.

The only thing I would say - and this is more of a recommendation than something I didn't like - is that they should consider putting a little gate or something to stop people walking across the area outside of room #101 and just either sitting there on the wall smoking or chatting, etc. That area is for that room and there were 3 separate occasions I had to tell people that they were standing outside our bedroom window smoking and asked them to leave. If the hotel put a little gate where the ramp is to go to the room, it would stop people from disturbing anyone in room 101. Just a minor suggestion.
