    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 had really good stay, the place is well-run and great value!

    Everything was fine, including very supportive staff and handy location close to main attractions that are toward the Diamond Beach on the South. The breakfast was free of charge, I greatly enjoyed that it had cereal and cheese.

    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.

    Staff was willing to help, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hotel.

    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.

    The room was a nice size with water all across the bathroom and an amazing view, as example, and the staff was willing to help. The breakfast was complimentary, guests were offered cereal and cheese. The staff was friendly efficient throughout the day.

    It's extremely comfy hotel and big, with caring staff and unbeatable location right on the glacier. The breakfast is above average and complimentary - I tried cereals and cheese. I would stay here again, thanks a lot for a really good stay
