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!

Great location for our one-night stay. Note that the area is fairly dark, and initially we had some trouble finding the house. There are two properties visible when you reach the end of the driveway. We were a little confused about which way to turn. However, once we were "in" we were very pleased with our stay.
