This hotel is in a fantastic location, right next to the breathtaking national park hiking trails. The rooms were clean, quiet, and equipped with good blackout curtains, which made our stay comfortable and even allowed us to enjoy the Northern Lights before the snowfall. However, the dining schedule might not suit hardcore sightseeing enthusiasts. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate our needs.

Staying here was a real treat! The rooms were basic but cozy in the new section of the guest house, offering a decent size and an exceptionally comfortable mattress. The service was top-notch, with a friendly and extremely helpful staff. The location is superb, especially if you plan to visit Diamond Beach and the ice lagoon, right by breathtaking hiking trails. The dining was somewhat basic, more fitting for a hostel than a guesthouse, with limited ordering times, but the fried fish was a standout. Overall, a lovely stay with a mix of positives and a few minor drawbacks.

The service here is impeccable; the staff, despite being multitasking, were hospitable and went out of their way to accommodate our requests, like storing soy milk for our child. We even got a lovely welcome drink!

Location

The location is superb, nestled near the Vatnajökull glacier, offering stunning views and easy access to national park hikes. However, it's a bit far from eateries but a perfect stop between the East fjords and Jokulsarlon.

Dining

While the dining experience was somewhat limited with a short ordering window, the homemade jams were excellent, and the fried fish dish was a standout.

Facilities

The facilities were decent, more aligned with a hostel setup than a full-service guesthouse, with no particular standout features.

The hotel is located in a stunning setting, near a horse farm and with divine hot pots. The rooms lack character and can't be darkened enough, making it challenging for families with kids. On the bright side, the rooms are of good standards and comfortable, providing a decent stay.

The staff here are very friendly and energetic, offering a beautiful conversion of a farm building with a stunning view of the Hoffell Glacier. They even went above and beyond by taking our laundry, washing, drying, folding, and returning them the next morning. A truly welcoming experience.

The location is incredible, right next to national park hiking trails and boasting a breathtaking view. Additionally, the hotel is near a horse farm, hot tubs, and hiking trails to the glacier tongue, providing a fantastic natural escape. However, it is far from any dining options, which can be inconvenient.

The dining experience may need enhancement, with limited breakfast options and a late breakfast time of 8:30. Despite this, the homemade cakes were a nice touch.
