A lovely room in a location convenient to the glacier and beach. The views are beautiful, especially the waterfall on the back side of the property which was visible from our shower. The area is not very close to gas and food options, but the hotel across the street had a wonderful breakfast buffet.

I have ordered this property using Orbitz, the description does not show details about check in procedure. Orbitz did not send information about the unit and access. As a result we stuck at the door and had to read small letters about the option to get access. Frustrating situation. In general we get very ordinary room for the price of luxury hotel. Not to roomy, not cozy, not comfortable. The location is beautiful and the owner was nice to sent e-mail with detailed information how to find a property (not to get access to the unit). The location is beautiful. The shower is good. Parking is tricky, depends on how late you are. On spots may be occupied. I will avoid renting this property, rather book luxury hotel across the road (hosted by the same family).

Such a lovely place to stay and in an amazing location with awesome views. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the toiletries provided in the bathroom. To eat its only a short drive to cafes or restaurants nearby. Diamond Beach is just a few minutes drive too. Behind the property is a scenic waterfall which is well worth a short hike. We loved staying here and will definitely be back.

A wonderful room with everything you’d require, other tan a bar fridge. Working out where to park was difficult but this could be due to it being very dark upon arrival and our having driven several hundred kilometres to get there.

Absolutely beautiful property with views of the glacier lagoon & its icebergs, multiple small waterfalls behind the property, and the sea. The complimentary French press coffee (diy) was the perfect way to start the day. I only wish they had more than one pillow per person, but this seems like a theme at many Icelandic properties. Highly recommend this property.

Great stay at EKRA

Loved having coffee and a French press to make it. The room was very clean and new, but way too hot at checkin. Leave the heat down low for the guest.

Note there isn’t a kitchen! Not sure why the photos make it seem this way but there is only a small fridge, coffee/tea, and a water heater. We LOVED the room though! Beautiful space with nice bathroom and comfortable/clean bed. The area around the property is stunning and so, so close to activities! We loved the easy drive to the glaciers and lagoon as well as Diamond Beach. We also had a nice waterfall directly behind the hotel which we loved. Definitely limited for food options though so be mindful! A couple restaurants close by but hours can be limited!

Self check-in property, easy and clear instructions were given. I had a superior room with view on mountains. It's was outstanding. Although the room is brand new and well decorated, you know someone thought of design first and less of customer experience. Location was excellent and away enough from the ring road so you get all the peace and quiet. No closet, poor lighting, no working table...parking is unclear since you feel like you're driving in someone's driveway. But hey when you spend that much on a room, expectations are a little higher!

This property was very clean and modern updates. Lots of amenities. We had dinner at the hotel (sister property) and it was really expensive but absolutely delicious! There were some refreshments in the fridge but I wasn't sure if they were free so we didn't drink them. Probably the best nights sleep I've had this whole trip!
