    The dinner was overpriced even for Iceland standards and not great. The bed was too soft for my liking but that comes down to personal preference.

    The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are comfortable and stylish. The spa, sauna & lagoon is exceptional. Breakfast was outstanding and the service was overall good. Location was so close to glacier lagoon and black diamond beach.

    My family and I had a truly unforgettable stay at Hotel Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. The hotel’s location is simply perfect, surrounded by breathtaking Icelandic nature and close to the glacier lagoon. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were outstanding, making our stay very relaxing. But what made this experience most special was that I got to see the Aurora Borealis with my family right from the hotel—a long-cherished dream finally came true. It was magical and will remain one of the most treasured memories of our lives. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Iceland, not only for its comfort and hospitality but also for the unique chance to experience nature at its best.

    This was our favourite hotel in Iceland. It is really beautiful, new and modern yet so cozy. The spa area is lovely - beautiful view from the sauna, two hot tubs, and a little lake to dip into. Really nice bar. Great staff. Rooms are great: modern and spotless.

    Extremely close to Jokulsarlon Lagoon, the glacier and Diamond Beach!! You have to take the RIB boat lagoon iceberg tour and go walk onto the glacier as a combination ticket it was the highlight of my trip! We loved Glacier Adventure company they were safe informative and they delivered above the experience we hoped for.

    We had a triple room which was a bit smaller than expected, should have booked 2 separate rooms instead but if you like to be cozy it works!

    The hot tub and little lake that you could take a dip in with a view of the glacier was amazing! Such a beautiful place to relax and take in the beauty of Iceland!

    A barista that makes real coffee, not just a machine. The machine was decent though. The kiosk could provide for options.

    This hotel is superb - from food, to sauna to hot tub. Excellent. Rooms are big, wonderful view, very serene. Best hotel during our stay on Island. Breakfast buffet was excellent as well - everything you would expect for a five star hotel.
