What a wonderful hotel! We found this beautiful place when searching for stops along our trek of northern iceland. The staff was amazing, the food was superb, the views were insane and having a kitty roaming around was the icing on the cake! Would highly recommend this hotel!

C’est l’hôtel que j’ai préféré sur mes 11 jours en Islande, nous avions une grande chambre avec vue sur le glacier. La décoration est charmante. Le restaurant avec vue mer est incroyable c’est très bien placé pour visiter la péninsule . Nous y sommes restés deux nuits C’était vraiment parfait.
