This was a very nice, clean, and basic hotel. Across the street is a well-stocked gas station, convenience store, and cafe. Behind the hotel is a lovely, short hike that overlooks 2 glaciers. This was the most expensive overnight stay that we had in Iceland, but you're paying for the location here as there isn't much available so close to Jokulsarlon and the sights in between. The complimentary breakfast was very nice. Dinner again was the most expensive meal we had, but it was delicious and beautifully presented. Overall, we were very happy with our stay here.

I recently stayed at your hotel and wanted to share my thoughts. While the staff was friendly and the breakfast was good, there were a few areas that fell short of my expectations. The hotel rooms were quite small, and the pillows were old and worn out, which affected the comfort of my stay. Additionally, I found that there were limited vegetarian options not only at the hotel but also in the surrounding area.

We loved our stay at this hotel. Although the rooms aren’t fancy, they were clean and comfortable for the night. What made this hotel great was the staff, cute bar upstairs with happy hour and a nice view of the mountains, the delicious dinner and free breakfast and the proximity to a walking path to see the glacier and easy access to Skaftafell fans the hike to Svartifoss.

This is a three star property. It was clean and the staff was nice. However Everything is oks. The walls are thin and you hear every sound from surrounding rooms. There are limited electrical outlets. The towels were thin and very hard. It met our basic needs.

We were pleasantly surprised that we could walk to a glacier from the property in 30 minutes! One of the best events of our trip. Dinner and complementary breakfast were outstanding . Five stars for sure!
