This is undoubtedly one of the finest hotels in Iceland. From the moment you enter, you are greeted by a stunning interior featuring high ceilings and thoughtfully selected eco-friendly materials. The guest rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed, and the bathrooms are equally impressive. The on-site restaurant offers exceptional cuisine, making for a truly memorable dining experience.

It's the perfect place to stay after driving the south coast of Iceland. I've never felt so relaxed and at home at a hotel before. The gym and hot tub outside were the best.

This was, without a doubt, the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Hótel Jökulsárlón exceeded every expectation and delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We genuinely wish we had extended our stay instead of continuing further east—leaving was the only disappointment. The amenities were incredible: from cold plunging in the lagoon to warming up in the sauna and soaking in the hot tub, it was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The on-site restaurant was equally impressive—easily one of the best meals we had in Iceland, and we highly recommend dining there. The staff was also exceptional—friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely at home. Everything about this stay was top-tier. If you’re planning a trip near Jökulsárlón, do yourself a favor and book more than one night here. You won’t regret it.

Modern stylish hotel. Excellent bar and restaurant with professional friendly staff. The hot tubs and sauna area is great for relaxing muscles and meeting new friends. The room was well thought out and the beds comfortable. We would stay here again.

This was among a short list of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed at. It’s a long jaunt there from the golden circle but absolutely worth it. The hotel was swanky and sexy and had a great bar and restaurant, classy and modern decor, a fabulous outdoor sauna and hot tubs and shower, and high ceilings and an airy “with nature” feel. The view was beautiful and the location was great for any exploration on the glacier.
