best location

Got the last room for the evening! Was hoping for a double bed, but got 5 singles instead! Guess it was the family room. As we entered the building, the lights would not come on, so we had to use the flashlight on our phones to find our room! Not very safe! Our room was adequate, nothing plush! It was near the door leading to outside as well as the sitting area, so we dealt with a lot of noise from other customers going in and out all night looking for the northern lights! Which we faintly saw! Breakfast was not included, so for @$20 each, we were able to have coffee, tea, bread, sandwich meat and cheese. We did have a very nice dinner upon arrival in their restaurant. The positives were how close to Jokusarlon lagoon and black diamond beach that we were located...about a 10 minute drive! Also we booked an inside a glacier cave tour with Blue Iceland and received a 10% discount by staying there! (That was amazing!!)

Staff was amazing!. I'd like to give a shout out to one of the lady on the desk who attended us on the evening of 8th November. Room and toiler was clean. The view around the hotel is simply stunning as you have both sea and big hills around you. It was only a 15min drive from Jokursarlon, so you can always go back to see the place.

The washroom was dirty especially the shower curtain. Kitchen is poorly equipped. The stove always short circuit while you are using other electronic devices.

Expensive but in a very good location for glacier walks, flights, boating etc. Comfortable room and guest lounge, nice view from the latter to the estuary. The evening food is certainly good, didn't take the expensive breakfast.
