Great location, friendly staff, nice restaurant attached, some short hikes leading right from the hotel. Cabin/motel style room perfectly fine given the price and location.

Comfortable hotel great location

Pros: Location
Cons: Breakfast could have cooked option or waffles.
Location: Glacier lagoon and glaciers worth visiting
Hotel in great location, rooms OK, comfy and warm. Near to the glaciers and the jokursarlon glacier lagoon. Breakfast a little basic, but friendly happy staff.

Il est à proximité de sites intéressants, mais c’est très cher pour ce que c’est. On a l’impression d’être dans une cellule sans décoration et d’une froideur incroyable.

Wunderbare Betten, Bar mit Happy hour, sehr nettes Personal, anscheinend vorwiegend einheimisch. Schmackhaftes Frühstücksbuffet, Checkouttime mit elf Uhr finde ich sehr kulant.

Great location, but...

The hotel is greatly situated at the park, but my single room was very small and quite old. The breakfast was very good. Overall good, but too expensive, hence the lower rating

Perushotelli, hyvässä ja pahassa

Henkilökunrta mukavaa mutta ei voi kun ihmetellä, että hotelliyöt saattavat olla kalliimpia huonommassa hotellissa kuin paremmassa. Tämä hotelli ei kuulunut niihin parhaisiin. Oli sopivassa kohdassa kun kiersimme saaren. Perusyöpyminen
