Clean room and beautiful location. Amenities were great to still enjoy a day at the hotel while there was a snowstorm and road closures in the area.
Delicious food and breakfast!

Gorgeous location, friendly and helpful staff, and we loved the outdoor hot tubs! The spa downstairs is lovely, and the breakfast was also very good. The one downside was in the bathroom it was an open shower with no lip or raised area, so the whole floor got wet. As downsides go it was minor. This is a great location for reaching Diamond Beach/Jökulsárlón.

Great overnight pit stop after our glacier hike! The hotel provided a complimentary drink voucher to use at the bar - perfect after a long day. The room was spacious, clean and well stocked (robe and slippers provided). Lots of free parking outside. Would stay again!

Great Hotel in a perfect location to access Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon ! Loved the shared hot tubs, my wife and daughter found the mini gym great. The room was an adequate size, but not much space really. All very clean and well kept. Bar area was lovely with big comfy chairs

Probably the best hotel I been too in Iceland and I booked over 5 hotels during my trip. Absolutely amazing hotel and next to a waterfall. We also sat down in the bar and had a drink. The bar/lounge area was so cozy. Rooms were clean and food/breakfast was amazing with very kind staff. I will def be booking this again when I’m in Iceland.
