We were having fun all day - fjaorargljufiur then to a Skaftafellsvegur glacier hike. We were hunger and tired and this hotel was on the journey but feeling like the middle of nowhere! Beautiful room amenities (Icelandic wool blankets for each bed!) and a fabulous meal. Wish we had more time to enjoy the hotel and all it had to offer. We arrived late in the evening and left early. But very welcoming and relaxing nonetheless.

The hotel is located in Vik, a very cute town in southern Iceland close to Diamonds beach. We had dinner at the hotel, which was excellent. The staff at the hotel was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel offers two hiking trails which we enjoyed walking. We had dinner at the hotel - excellent food and great service.

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.
