    The location was about 20mins away from Vatnajokull national park, the outside building is totally opposite of the room, it's very modern and cosy.

    The rooms were modern and clean. Check-in was easy and the location is good if you want to see the auroras, unfortunately didn't get to see much as it was cloudy :/ Breakfast was okay, there wasn't much, but what was there, was quite good.

    From the outside, it doesn’t promise too much but once you are inside, the situation is quite the opposite 😅 The room is big, very modern and has everything you need. Also, the view is stunning
