Hótel Jokulsarlon - Glacier Lagoon Hotel

Hótel Jokulsarlon - Glacier Lagoon Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful (expensive!!!) property. Rooms were kind of small - a safe but no mini fridge - a towel warmer but no other hooks for towels. Expansive public spaces in lobbies with lots of places to sit. Three hot tubs outside are 99 degrees and soaking only - no jets. Nice gym and relaxation/wellness room. Meals are large portions - order proportionately. It was odd that when we finished our meal and indicated in every possible way that we were finished - no one brought us a check. They just quit making eye contact with us to the point that it took us twenty minutes to ask for a check and we’re at that time (finally) told to go up to hostess to pay. But to be able to be at the lagoon and beach by ourselves at 7:30 am was worth it!"

"Super cute & clean place to sleep for the night. My only complaint was that the time breakfast was scheduled for was not accurate & I didn’t have much time to eat before leaving, so I wasn’t able to really get my moneys worth for what I paid for & options were limited. I would stay here again just maybe not opt in for breakfast in the am if you have plans right away."

"Super clean and very comfy. The kitchen was very nice with everything you need for cooking. The only thing that was a bit confusing was the check in process, because the reception was in another location. It would be helpful if there were signs and they just emailed you the code to the key box with your key, and room number, rather than going offsite. Other than that, very much loved the cute cottage."
