The room was as advertised. There was no staff which was nice since a lot of hotels have check in ending at 8 pm. The parking situation was confusing since there are only three spots but I called the emergency number and the gentleman instructed us to park anywhere as long as it doesn't block the cars and views of the guests.

One of the best hotels we stayed at in Iceland! Incredible views of the glacier and surrounding mountains. Check-in process was very smooth and the room was very clean, modern, recently renovated. I wish we would have stayed here for a few more days. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay. It is in a quiet and remote area with a view that absolutely could not be beat. I wish we would have had more time here for the view alone. The place was clean, easy to access, with a lovely bathroom. Bonus points as well for the adorable and totally sweet yellow lab we met on the property. 5 starts for him alone. Would definitely come stay here again. The only thing I would advise for anyone staying for the first time is to plan ahead for food as options in the area are limited.

Amazing! Best stay!

I couldn’t have been more pleased with my stay in this room. From the moment I walked in, everything felt fresh, clean, and thoughtfully prepared. The room was spacious and well-lit, with a modern yet cozy design that made it feel like a home away from home. Every detail had been considered—from the incredibly comfortable bed and soft linens to the blackout curtains that made for a restful night’s sleep. The room had all the essentials and then some: a mini fridge, coffee maker, charging ports by the bed, strong Wi-Fi, and a smart TV with streaming options. The bathroom was spotless, with plush towels, great water pressure, and high-quality toiletries.

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.

This was my most expensive hotel stay during my trip to Iceland and I was really disappointed. I don't understand why it cost so much when there isn't any staff on site and they don't even have enough parking. Three cars took up the available spots and we had to park just in the lane. There was only one car charger and some jerk kept it the whole time we were there. Plus every time someone walked up the stairs to go to their room they just stared into ours like we were zoo animals on display.

Very clean room with amazing views. Quiet location. There are no shops nearby but the hotel is a 20 min walk away. Best to come prepared with food options. There is a fridge but no real storage, not a problem for us but might be for some.

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.
