Nice stay. Beautifull view

Perfect lodging for aurora viewing. You have the glacier just across the field. We got a message from the reception that there wasn't going to be anyone at the desk upon our arrival (a little offputting but it resulted to be ok after all) the breakfast was good. I would recomend this place 100%

Everything was great! The receptionist who checked us in - didn’t catch his name - was very kind. I believe, however, that they ran out of the type of rooms we booked and gave us a mobility accessible room instead. I think it should have been mentioned at check in, but no big deal.

Sehr große Zimmer. Bäder ebenfalls sehr geräumig. Sehr leckeres Frühstück inkl. frischer warmer Waffeln. Den Zugang zu den Hot Tubes gibt es beim Buchen der Unterkunft gratis dazu. Schöner Blick auf den Gletscher. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Liked: Cleanliness
Das Apartment und die Einrichtung scheint relativ neu zu sein. Es war auch sauber und der Service freundlich. Die Betten sind bequem und für mich aber zu weich. Was aber auf jeden Fall noch ergänzt werden muss, ist eine Garderobe oder zumindest eine Aufhängemöglichkeit für Jacken. Bei einer Übernachtung zwar nicht unbedingt notwendig , aber hilfreich: Schrank oder eine Kleiderstange. Für mich immer absolut ärgerlich , wenn im Bad Haken und Handtuchhalter fehlen. Der Minimülleimer im Bad reicht auch nicht aus, warum gibt es keinen weiteren Abfalleimer. Das Frühstück ist nichts besonderes , am ersten Tag gab es nicht mal Milch !!!. Alles in allem sind es dann doch zu viele negative Punkte bei dem hohen Preis. Ich würde hier zu diesem Preis (über 400 EUR/Nacht) nicht noch einmal übernachten. Die Tubes waren am Ende des Tages auch voll mit Tagesgästen, so dass die im Preis inkludierten Hot Tubs nicht genutzt werden konnten

A must stay on your Ring Road journey!

Delightful stay at Glacier World! Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Iceland especially on a budget. Lovely front desk gal (named started with an “M” I believe) made us sandwiches and gave us fruit to go since we wouldn’t make breakfast the next day. Cozy reception area. Strong WiFi. 10/10 hospitality.

Hotel correct, hot tube superbe

Chambres correctes, simples et fonctionnels. Personnel sympathique. Petit dejeuner ok meme si peut mieux faire sur la partie plats chauds. Le top, c'est les hot tubes tout neufs tres jolis avec vue sur le glacier et gratuits pour les clients de l'hotel.

Fine for stopover from ring road

Room was comfy enough but tv didnt work and should be removed. Breakfast was basic, juice was terrible (diluted?) Didnt use hot tubs as were a distance from actual property. View was lovely from room. Fine for one night stop over. Obviously making improvements but no noise or activity during our stay.

Basic, fine for a night. No luxury/comfort. Room- bathroom lacked shampoo, etc. One pillow, and bedding not great. Breakfast - very basic. Communication before we arrived was super helpful as we were arriving late but little interaction when there even when trying to hand key back in. Beautiful view of glacier.
