missingWrote a review on 08 Marexpansive viewscomfortable bedkettle amenitiesaccess roadbreakfast options
Enjoyed the expansive views from the wooden deck with a perfect spot for relaxation. The comfortable bed made it easy to unwind after a day's adventures. Having a kettle in the room for tea and coffee was a nice touch. The access road posed a significant challenge, being quite rough and snowy, made arrival difficult. It required local assistance just to reach the hotel. The absence of breakfast options was disappointing. Having at least a yogurt or snack available would have been helpful for late arrivals. Lastly, the lack of a shoes-off policy inside the room was a bit inconvenient given the winter conditions. It would enhance the experience greatly.

The views from the room were fine, showcasing the nearby lagoon and icy peaks of Vatnajökull, perfect for capturing amazing photos. The room itself was cozy and warm, ideal for a winter stay after a day spent exploring the amazing landscapes.
Accessing the hotel was a challenge. The access road was nearly impassable, even for a 4-wheel drive, leaving us reliant on local help just to reach the place. Our room was on the top floor and felt cramped, with the bathroom sink stained yellow. We also faced a bizarre issue with our shower, which seemed to have water issues while other fixtures worked fine was good. Lastly, we found a lack of storage optionsfor luggage-no closet or luggage rack made it tough to manage winter gear effectively.

The rooms are impeccably clean and beautifully designed with very comfy beds and smoke detectors. They have central heating, coffee/tea making facilities, and a TV. The hotel's location is stunning and incredible, just next door to a hillside overlooking the Glacier Lagoon and mountains and waterfalls.

Great for groups seeking adventure
Rooms were nice and luxurious, not a huge room but cozy enough to enjoy! The view from our place was something else, I could see the lagoon from the window, perfect spots for killer photos.
Wasn't exactly cheap, but honestly acceptable for the experience.

The location is amazing with views of the nearby lagoon and the icy peaks of Vatnajökull. I enjoyed the spacious and modern room, perfect for a solo female traveler. The powerful shower was a good touch after a day of exploring.
Dining options were limited and required a drive, inconvenient.

A cozy accommodation with beautiful views, perfect for a romantic getaway. The heated bathroom floor and spacious shower were good touches, contributing to a comfortable stay. The access road was quite challenging, even for a 4-wheel drive, and the dining options were limited, necessitating a drive to find food. The interaction with staff was minimal due to the lack of reception, yet they were responsive via email, made the reservation process smooth.

The location of ekra glacier lagoon is amazing, just a short drive to vatnajökull glacier. We enjoyed the simplicity of our twin room and the clear instructions from the owner. We loved that we could see the northern lights at night.

Absolutely loved the view from my room, so fine! The self-check-in made it easy, and the room was big and comfortable. A powerful shower felt heavenly after my day of adventures.
Mind you, bring snacks. Dining options are as scarce as a unicorn around here! A shoe rack could've prevented my poor floors from looking like winter wonderland trails.

Cozy spot with fine views
Spent a night here, and wow, the views are epic! The room was toasty and comfy, great for a winter stay. Missed out on breakfast options, though. The picnic area was cool for a little outdoor vibe. Efficient lock box check-in made getting to our room super easy! Just be ready to drive far for dining.
