Hotel Skaftafell
3.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very good, (821)
"Good location to stay if visiting iceberg lagoon. Right at the bottom of the glacier in pretty remote area. Rooms comfortable if rather basic, quick and efficient check in. Good breakfast as part of the deal. Negative for restaurant closing early and the bar upstairs, with empty basic room with no decor, charging more than bars downtown Reykjavik, lol. Good alternative is a gas station across the road. Altogether seemed pricey for what one gets, but I guess being one of few options in the area...
