Nice Stay
Nice hotel right on the water. Very quiet, comfortable, clean, basic room but more than served its purpose. Breakfast in the morning was good with multiple choices.

Basic room. Good restaurant. Expensive
The room was by far the most expensive on my week long trip to Iceland. However, it was the most basic - I get it: location. The bed was too soft and springy and the coffee machine didn’t work in the morning (when you need it!). On a positive note, the restaurant served some great food and service was good and friendly. Overall a middle-of-road experience

Quick overnight stay.
Short overnight stay. Hotel is small but comfortable. The room was small but had two windows so you didn't feel claustrophobic. Cleaning staff were very helpful.

This is an absolutely beautiful location with friendly staff, great food, and clean, comfortable rooms for a reasonable price. The property feels homey, and we would have loved to stay longer than just one night. The were very accommodating to add a fourth bed to a 3-person room, and though they said it would be tight, there was still plenty of space. The restaurant was very expensive, even by Icelandic standards, but the food was good and the convenience of eating on the property after a long day of activities was great. Breakfast was perfect with a lot of homemade items.

Wonderful! This was my second time staying at this hotel. Stayed one time in the yellow cottage and one time in the hotel . Accommodations are spacious and clean. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to help us with a few minor requests.

The room was decent size, safe and quiet. There was a fridge in the common area that guests could use. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included and it had a large selection. Like other hotels in Europe, they don’t supply washcloths. The surroundings were beautiful.

This is an excellent place to stay. The hotel is just a 15-minute drive from the glacier. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious, with stunning views and a large, comfortable bed. The owner goes above and beyond to ensure guests have the best possible experience. The breakfast deserves special mention—there were many options, including homemade lamb pâté, which was the best I've ever had. I highly recommend this place and would be happy to return.

Convenient to Glacier Lagoon. Provided a continental breakfast. Located in a rural setting. Nice comfortable rooms. Large common area with sofas and chairs and a television for relaxing outside of the room. Located near pastures with sheep

A view of the coast. Very peaceful and serene.

Too remote for me and you are pretty much limited to their restaurant onsite unless you want to drive 45 minutes. Although the food was good, it was pricey and not a lot of choices. Rooms were clean but very minimalistic.

Our room and the facility was extremely clean. However the location seems like it was a retired senior home. It was just not quite like the pictures made it out to be. Still we had a good stay and the staff was very friendly.
