My stay at Hotel Nordurljos in Raufarhöfn was a good experience. The friendly staff made me feel welcome right from the start, and the meals were nothing short of excellent! The views of the harbor during meals were amazing. However, I found the town itself quite small, which limited some options for exploring. Overall, it was truly one of the best accommodations I had during my trip across Iceland! 🌊😊
