Very nice and modern hotel practically in the middle of nowhere. Great for a one night stay if you're visiting Jokusarlon or driving along the ring road. Plenty of parking. There are several EV chargers as well, however you need your own Level 2 cable to use the charger. Staff service was excellent and helpful to our needs. Only con is dining options are limited in the area; the only food establishment we found nearby outside the hotel is a nice cafe about 3km drive away, but it is only open for breakfast and lunch. The hotel restaurant is very busy and requires reservations, while the bar has a very limited food menu.

Gorgeous property. Backs up to mountains and a waterfall. This was the most comfortable bed during our trip. We spent some time in the hot tub which was outdoors and felt glorious. The food was not as good as other reviewers described and we were disappointed with. Overall though it was a wonderful stay and we would stay again.

Property was beautiful. There is a picturesque waterfall just behind the building. Had some hiking trails there as well. Room was clean and modern and nicely furnished. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. We had dinner there one night and the food was fabulous. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The property was convenient for our trip to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon as well.
