With my day having started at the rather unimpressive Hotel Klaustur, but having done both the snow-mobiling tour, and the quadbike tour to the DC-3 plane wreck on Sólheimasandur Black Sand Beach, I arrived reasonably late in the afternoon, and tired, to Hotel Framtid in Djúpivogur on the east coast of Iceland.
I stayed at Hótel Framtíð for the night of 23 June 2017. The hotel has a wonderful location in Djúpivogur, a small fishing village on the east coast of Iceland. It overlooks the harbor right in front of the hotel. Hotel Framtid is situated in a lovely quiet fishing village, allowing you the opportunity to spend some time watching the boats or wandering around taking some really good photo’s. In the village of Djúpivogur, you will find a wide selection of museums and local handcraft exhibitions, along with a choice of outdoor activities.
The hotel is designed in the form of a log-cabin, a unique and interesting concept that I really like. The rooms are cozy, slightly on the small side, but quite adequate. Like many of the hotels at which I stayed in Iceland, there is no shower door, which is fine since I found those showers with doors quite small and uncomfortable. I get the impression that the space between the rooms is small and not well sound-proofed since you can clearly hear your neighbors when they are being a little noisy.
I had dinner at the hotel, having made a reservation upon my arrival since I was informed that the restaurant is quite popular with the locals. The food was good and well-presented and the staff were friendly.
The breakfast in the morning was in a large dining hall, almost like a school dormitory. The selection was adequate without being wonderful. I took the chance before breakfast to walk around the harbor taking photo’s, as well as walking to the local statue in the park alongside the hotel.
Would I recommend this hotel? Yes indeed, the hotel is in a lovely quiet fishing village and is of good quality. I enjoyed my stay at Hótel Framtíð and would choose the hotel if I found myself in the area again. To assist you in navigating to Hótel Framtíð, find the hotel on Google Maps here.
