Sean
Central location of this great family run hotel was a bonus. It took only 10 minutes to walk to Freysnes bus stop. We stayed in a comfortably furnished and newly decorated room with soft mattress.
Some of the staff were very unhelpful.

Varied and absolutely fantastic breakfast including cereals and cheese. Great and beautiful location in the lovely skaftafell area with a glacier right behind it, and comfortable bedrooms.
Not particularly friendly staff!

I liked the property and its incredible and delicious breakfast.
The room I booked was huge and functional with an amazing view, an extra bed, coffee as expected. The breakfast had a wide range of cereal and cheese. The position of the hotel was stunning, by if you are doing a glacier hike.

The property was well-maintained, I can't recommend highly enough!
The twin room was well priced. There were cereals and cheese for breakfast. The setting was perfect and incredible, just off the glacier and glacier lagoon.

We thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of the twin room, as well as a huge window, armchairs, and climate control etc. Our accommodation was set in a remote location near to the mountains, a 10 minute hike and a waterfall.

The hotel was quirky, and clean, and the location was nice right next to the glacier. The staff was friendly efficient and exceptionally helpful can provide additional tips. The room was well-equipped with worth every penny views. The continental breakfast was rich, included: cereals and cheese. This venue met my needs in every way, would be happy to recommend.

Everything was perfectly fine, very amiable staff, magnificent location so close to other "nowhere" of Iceland, the Skaftafell Glacier national park and the visitors center. The breakfast offered cereal and cheese. Got twin room with a wide selection of English channels as well as great view as expected.
