What's nearby

  • Iceland is a magical place. I've never seen so many rainbows in such a short time. Single or double, every day we had a show! The glacier near Höfn is quite grandiose, but this rainbow with dark skies and great sun kinda stole the show! #Golden

We loved staying at this hotel. It was a beautiful setting where we were able to see two Glaciers from our window. When we finally arrived at the hotel after driving for 5 hours, we were exhausted, but dinner revived us—the lamb and Arctic char dishes were amazing! My husband said it was the best lamb he had ever tasted, and I agreed! We were so glad that we decided to eat at the restaurant in the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a good night sleep, and we were ready to go hiking nearby Glaciers. We had a wonderful stay. Thanks for hosting us!
