Location is good. If you are going to Jokulsarlon to participate 1 day tour, just around 30 min. Easily can see aurora in front of the hotel or with room big window. Room is tidy with huge wardrobe which is very friendly when traveling in winter (heavy coat...etc) Breakfast was also lovely with homemade jam and bread.

“Nice hotel in the middle of nowhere”
Hotel location is in between diamond beach and Hofn town. Good stop over if your last or first point is diamond beach. The hotel is pretty decent size meaning there are more guests here. The triple room are comfortable and spacious. WIFI speed is good. Free coffee and hot chocolate on outside rooms. Free parking on site.

As described a good old fashion hotel with great rooms and staff. Bar was open along with the restaurant in the late afternoon for a drink prior to a lovely dinner made using local ingredients where possible.
