Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
This hotel was in a great location for our adventures. The room was a good size and when we mentioned the comfort of the beds (they were a bit worn), the staff made an extra effort to replace the mattresses quickly! After that was done, we were so grateful. Being able to walk out the back door and hike to the Svinafellsjokull (glacier), have a short drive to Diamond Beach and the glacier lagoon, and get to the Skaftafel Nature Reserve/Park in minutes was key!
Beautiful short trail to Skaftafell Glacier right at its backyard!
Very charming and endearing hotel.
Very clean and thoughtfully organised room and amenities.
Opposite to a restaurant, petrol kiosks and groceries.
Very good breakfast spread.
Hotel has a great location, you can walk to Svinafellsjokull from it. The little bar is gorgeous with incredible views. Breakfast was extensive and varied. Staff were welcoming and the lobby area is lovely. The petrol station across the road has a cheap extensive menu
great location with views across to the glacier. There is an enjoyable one hour hike behind the hotel that goes close to the ‘Hollywood’ glacier. the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. The dinner was high quality, albeit usual Icelandic prices. There are cheaper options for food at the roadhouse across the road.
absolutely everything - quiet, clean, great location
