This hotel was both great value and a highlight of the trip. Sitting in the hot tub and sauna, a mild breeze, a few snowflakes and a stunning vista of the mountains. Highly recommended.
Lovely set hotel. We had a nice big and clean room. Friendly staff and we finished our long drive there with a nice dip in the geothermal pool and a cold beer.
We enjoyed staying here. Staff were nice. Breakfast was good. They had thermal hot springs associated with the hotel that were fun to use, which was nice.
One tongue of the glacier was almost right next to the guest house!! The location - right off of the ring road and close to Hofn - was very convenient.
The hotel was so comfortable with heating floor system. The breakfast was pretty simple but we appreciated the staff specially prepared the breakfast earlier for us as we need to head out earlier for our glacier excursion. We enjoyed the hot tub very much! We can even saw the glacier from the hotel room! Highly recommended!
