Hotels near Glacier lagoon, Hornafjordur

Everything about this hotel was great. It’s newly made- and the design is beautiful with big glass windows everywhere. Their hot tubs and sauna are also incredible and these overlook a lake and a glacier. We could see all this from our room and even the northern lights. Add to the facilities- the exceptional service. (All but one server at their restaurant was incredibly kind) All but one staff went out of their way to help and accommodate all our needs. And finally their breakfast- I have no words. And I don’t say this easily. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels. And most have just the same spread. This one was truly exceptional. We ended up spending way longer than we planned and got delayed because we couldn’t stop eating. Don’t think twice- go for this hotel. You’ll not regret it. This is not a criticism- just an advice for the hotel to add maybe some more vegetarian options to the menu- or if they’re not available to accommodate guests with a kids menu- or some bread starters. I still rate the hotel 5/5 but one server was quite unhelpful with providing us more options. And this was a slight hitch in a more than perfect experience. And the person at the reception totally helped us out and accommodated us after!

Wonderful

We were a family (3 couples) traveling Iceland together for 8 days. My son planned the trip, we flew into Keflavik Airport got a rental car and drove to our furthest point Ekra Lodge so we could spend the week working our way back sightseeing. We booked 2 rooms here each had 3 single beds, bathroom and coffee station. The beds were amazing super comfortable and the pillows were amazing. We arrived about 2:30 a.m. and we had a great view of the Northern Lights which was very cool to see. We were all exhausted so we pretty much got to our rooms and we all passed out. It was dark so we really couldn't see the surroundings. The owners have everything as let yourself in with code which was nice, we were super quiet so we didn't wake any other guests. I believe there are 5 total units all different prices and sizes, we had what we needed. The next a.m. the shower pressure was amazing as was the entire shower. We all got ready and walked outside and well-ahhh what a view. The backside of the home there were 2 waterfalls and a spectacular mountain view behind the house then when you looked straight forward there was a huge white topped glacier over a vast green field, it looked like a postcard, has to be incredible to wake up to that view each day, it almost looked fake it was so pretty. We took alot of pictures before we hit the road for breakfast. I only wish we had arrived a bit sooner to enjoy the place a bit more, there is a huge balcony up top that has several chairs and the view is again amazing. I highly recommend this place is you need for 1 night super quiet and each suite had guests and plenty of space for 5-6 cars with no issues.

Muy buena estancia, dispone de cocina. La única pega es que tengas que ir a hacer el check in a otra Guesthouse... Cuando puedes hacer un auto check in.

The hotel is very close to the glacier lake and diamond beach, and it takes about ten minutes to drive. The hotel is very quiet at night in a small town. The room is very large, about 40 square meters, bath water or geothermal water. In addition to the accommodation room, the hotel also has a separate drying room for drying clothes (the taste inside is conceivable) for drying the soaked objects of the passengers. There are also coffee and tea in the public tea break area for guests to enjoy. Breakfast is also a more plentiful and very good hotel. Attached is a photograph of the breakfast restaurant hanging, but unfortunately I did not take such a beautiful scenery throughout the process.

Lovely little guesthouse ideally located on the south coast. We stayed as part of our two day SC tour and were pleasantly surprised. It was dark when we arrived but the view was spectacular in the morning of the mountains and sunrise over the coast. The room was very clean, beds were comfortable and was lovely and warm for a stormy February evening! The evening food was ok, limited choices but did cater for vegan diet. Breakfast was standard but good - bread, fruit/veg, meat, cheese, oatmeal. Enough to set you up for the day! Overall a great place to stop for one or two nights on the South Coast!

The location is better to find, when you are on the 1st highway, you can see the steeple church on the north side of the uphill slope. The hotel's environment is comfortable and clean, the breakfast is simple, and all the ingredients needed for the sandwiches are made by themselves. This is basically the case in Northern Europe. The hostess is warm but feels a bit harsh.

Clean, spacious, well equipt, family friendly and good customer service! 😊 Tough times are a blessing in disguise, it always reveals the true color of the people around us. We planned to stay in 2020 however Covid happened. Team was very understanding and accommodating to our predicament. It was a happy surprise to find premise exceeding our expectations too! Shoes are well organised with rack and oraginsers neatly stacked at entrance. Reception was friendly and informative. Room was clean and neat. In room wash basin was a big plus! There were 2 spacious and well equipt WCs to our section of 6-8rooms. 2 spacious dining areas, 1 large double fridge, 1 single fridge, spacious well equipt kitchen with various prep tables and 2-3+ sinks, pots/pans of various sizes, kitchen towels, utensils, cutleries, hot water dispenser, toaster, coffee percolator, sandwich press, oven, microwave, beverages and absolutely all one needs in the kitchen and more are furnished. It is also children friendly with baby chair, cot and safe play area provided. Rooms are well sectioned with family rooms assigned at the back, away from the hustle and bustle. There are also rooms in basement. There is also a washer/dryer and small drying rack at the far end, past kitchens and book cabinet with reading materials for the avid reader. We had a good comfortable night stay and hope you do too! 🙂

The hotel is located next to the gas station at the entrance to the town and the rooms are simple and clean. There are supermarkets and various handicraft shops nearby. It is especially recommended that the restaurants in the town eat lobsters. Each has its own characteristics. In short, it is worth living in the town for two days.

Very disappointing stay in June 2023. We were supposed to stay for two nights but left after only one. Our room was very clean and had a lot of storage space but as we laid down to go to sleep we noticed a large patch of black mold way up in a corner of the ceiling. We tried to switch rooms then but the hotel was full. My daughter and I both have a severe mold allergy and in the morning we were both symptomatic. After breakfast I noticed paint marks on the ceiling where someone had previously tried to cover up the mold. Looking outside we saw a massive hole in the roof right over our room that could let even more water in. The breakfast hostess and manager were both very kind and apologetic. They said they knew about the issue and offered to let us change our room. Knowing that there was such a significant problem with one room made us skeptical about the other rooms and we decided to leave. It also left a bad taste in our mouths that the owner would rather cover up a health hazard instead of fixing it. In short, this hotel needs some repairs. If you can avoid room 116 you’ll probably have an ok stay. Other than the mold we didn’t have an issue with service, cleanliness, breakfast, or noise.
