Very expensive, even for Island, but not a lot of other options in this area

Very close to Skaftafell Great soup at the restaurant

The hotel is right next to a trail which within 15 minutes you see a glacier which was lovely to do in the morning. The room we stayed in was in a different wing of the hotel so we could bring the car round, recommend checking in first rather than lugging your bags in right away. The staff were friendly and communicative. They offered a northern lights wake up but we were not fortunate enough to experience it. TV in our room didn’t really work, and the room did feel a bit dated, but it was still a pleasant and clean room. Breakfast provided is lovely and has good options. This hotel is also right near where many glacier tours start which I recommend doing!

All good

Location fantastic - wonderful view from our bedroom window, room was comfy with everything we needed for our stay. Breakfast was lovely - well topped up with excellent coffee. Foot paths from the hotel grounds towards Skaftafell and glacier. Lovely meal in the restaurant and also choice of eating at the petrol station 5 minutes walk away.

Quite pricey for what you get, but expected with the location and the fact that there are not many places to stay in the area!

Comfortable hotel, friendly staff, stunning views, and a great location along the south coast if you're breaking up the journey.

Very nice hotel, not far from Jokülsarlon lagoon, very clean cozy room with windows overlooking a glacier. The dinner at the restaurant wasn't cheap but the food was very good and dishes were big. Price is in line with the level of Iceland. The guy at the reception was nice and welcoming.

A well-organized and well-maintained hotel. One of the top accommodation options when visiting Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.

Is a great place to stay! The breakfast was delicious and the staff very kind! They are very flexible in late check in so it was great for us! We highly recommend to stay here!

Need some coat hooks in the entry of apartment.

Perfect location to go on adventures at the glaciers. Breakfast was amazing!

Not the best welcome experience by the staff at the reception. 50% chance you might meet someone who is having a bad day or doesn't like tourists. A side note, the kitchen menu stated "slow cooked lamb," which ended up being served medium grilled, looking pink inside. This was even after previously clarifying prior to placing the order about the well-done nature as the menu suggested "slow cooked." Just a warning to others, the name of the dish could be deceiving for those who prefer well-done meat. Although the waiter took It back to the kitchen and they cooked it a bit more.

The hotel is in a scenic area. Easy access to the glacier and hiking opportunities.

Some of the staff was not very helpful when asked information about driving around and chasing the northern lights. One would expect a local person from that area to know this info at the tip of their fingers, so I wondered why this lady was not willing to give us more details about how we can go about having the best possible northern lights experience.

The location was great. We saw the best Northern Lights ever just a short drive away from the hotel. The lights could even be seen from the hotel courtyard but it wasn't completely dark so we preferred to drive away a little. Rooms were very comfortable, quiet and with a good view. The food was delicious, and so were the drinks. The location worked well because of its proximity to the jokulsarlon lagoon and skaftafell national park. The room prices were also quite reasonable, atleast compared to anything else in that area.

The rooms we stayed were new, clean and comfortable. The staff at the reception was friendly.

They need to do some.interior design workshops. The bar is way too functional and lacking atmosphere. Restaurant as well

Nice hotel with spacious rooms. Easy stop on the way to Vatjanokull glacier. Easy to do glacier walks from here. (Troll.is recommended!). Get food across the road at the gas station. Restaurant is expensive, but the cook sure knows what he/she is doing!

It was a bit cold in the bar and restaurant

Very welcoming people, facilities were good, spot was perfect and dinner very good as well

The hotel is rather unremarkable, but it seems to be the best option in the area for visiting the glacier. There’s a great hiking trail right out the back, and even if you’re not heading to the glacier, the views are still fantastic.

expensive

location - great for seeing the northern lights, staff, free breakfast

Stayed in October 2024

nothing. it may not be as modern as other hotels, but it's great for travelers

room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty and the hotel had easy access to everything necessary, plus adventures in the area. beautiful views of the glacier. the gas station across the street had some simple hit meals...nothing fancy, but they did the trick.

There was hair all over the wall in the shower.

Very good location,5 minutes from petrol station and 10 from Skaftafell Park. Breakfast was amazing.

Apart from the room witch was nice, the other facilities are kind of poor. We did the ring road trip and stayed at skaftafell hotel on our 2nd day. There is actually nothing to do close to the hotel so we visited their restaurant which was extremely expensive compared to all the others hotels we stayed. And the bar....is just 2 coaches and no person there to serve.

Breakfast was ok although they don't have espresso machine. Room was clean and the view of the mountains is breathtaking.

The room is small for 3 person and 3 big luggages.
