10/10 Exceptional

The room is small, basic and clean. It had three twin beds that were very comfortable and clean. Staff were very nice. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is remote but suited our trip to the Glacier and allowed us to see the Iceberg lagoon and Diamond beach.

The location of the hotel is phenomenal providing easy access to the national park. The hotel also has a couple of walking/hiking paths that allow for an enjoyable evening walk. The dining room provided excellent dinner options along with breakfast.

Really lovely staff and decent rooms. Breakfast was included. The prices in the restaurant are a bit higher than we expected even for iceland, but everyone was very nice. 4 stars just for cost, but a great place to stay when you're exploring the area.
