Gorgeous area, far from the madding crowd but close enough to glacier lagoon. Two lovely restaurants nearby - sister hotel next door and Hali restaurant 5minute drive away.
Beautiful room, perfect view, great shower, mini fridge and tea and coffee. A wonderful place.

We LOVED this hotel! The room was spotless, super comfortable beds and amazing views right outside. Behind the "house" there are waterfalls. Location was super close to the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon. This was our favorite hotel for our trip in Iceland and wish we had the opportunity to stay longer than a night.

A lovely room in a location convenient to the glacier and beach. The views are beautiful, especially the waterfall on the back side of the property which was visible from our shower. The area is not very close to gas and food options, but the hotel across the street had a wonderful breakfast buffet.
