Un bel établissement idéalement situé à côté du glacier.
Pros:

La location a coté de jokulsarlon. Établissement bien équipé. Notre chambre était vue mer c’était magnifique. L’accès au spa et bain chaud est vraiment très appréciable surtout lorsque l’on y reste bloqué pour tempête ;-) Ça nous laisse de quoi s’occuper.

Nice location and aesthetic, great spot for northern lights, but a bit overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Hottub, northern lights wake up call, location, design and aesthetic.

Cons:

Wish that breakfast was included instead of having to pay extra. Limited food options, only an upscale restaurant onsite. Wish they had a second option or alternate menu for when you want something easier and heartier. Instead they only have some snacks and some premade cold sandwiches that didn’t look very good. Also, we were disappointed they did not have streaming on the TVs in the rooms. It would be nice to be able to watch a movie or show in the room at night. For the price of the room we expected they’d have streaming on the TVs.

Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast had many good options. They provide a wakeup call for the northern lights. The room has a portable fan which we used to dry our outerwear.

Cons:

After a long day of hiking a glacier, we did room service instead of eating at the restaurant. It was not very organized, no menu in print or online.

Very fancy. I enjoyed the view from our room. The sauna was really lovely. The food was amazing.

Cons:

Location was quite isolated from the main small villages but great if you want to see the northern lights.

Wonderful Hotel
Pros:

Dinner and Breakfast was great. Location was perfect stopping point between our Glacier hike tour and our planned visit to Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach.

Cons:

We were traveling with two kids (4 total) and booking.com made us book two rooms to accamodate 4. Our friends traveling with 1 kid (3 people total per room) got a pull out bed that could have slept two kids. I think that it should be an option for a family of 4 with young kids to share a single room given the size of the pull out bed. For a one night stay where we spent a minimal amount of time in the room - one room for our family would have been perfectly fine. Our kids are 11 and 8.
