We only stayed there one night and we got there really around 7pm. The room is really good! The only thing is too hard to find a restaurant there and no breakfast

The room was cute, communication was great, and they were very helpful with accommodating us. Overall, this was a perfect pit-stop on our trip around the ring road.
Also, breakfast across the street at the sister hotel was wonderful.

Absolutely beautiful property with views of the glacier lagoon & its icebergs, multiple small waterfalls behind the property, and the sea. The complimentary French press coffee (diy) was the perfect way to start the day. I only wish they had more than one pillow per person, but this seems like a theme at many Icelandic properties. Highly recommend this property.

Great stay at EKRA
Loved having coffee and a French press to make it. The room was very clean and new, but way too hot at checkin. Leave the heat down low for the guest.

A wonderful room with everything you’d require, other tan a bar fridge. Working out where to park was difficult but this could be due to it being very dark upon arrival and our having driven several hundred kilometres to get there.

We had a very nice room with great, very tasteful furnishings and very high quality bed. The bathroom is very large and very modern equipped. The key handover was uncomplicated and well prepared.
I would definitely book this accommodation again!
For breakfast you can go to the nearby Hotel Jökulsarlon. The breakfast there is one of the best you can get in Iceland!

This property was very clean and modern updates. Lots of amenities. We had dinner at the hotel (sister property) and it was really expensive but absolutely delicious! There were some refreshments in the fridge but I wasn't sure if they were free so we didn't drink them. Probably the best nights sleep I've had this whole trip!
