Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This is one of the few guesthouses located within walking distance of the border of Vatnajökull National Park, so the location is perfect as a starting point for day hikes. The breakfast and rooms were basic but sufficient.
Negative: One should be aware that due to supply and demand the value-for-money ratio at this location is nothing special. Also, there are no dinner options nearby.
Summary: Great location as a starting point for hikes within Vatnajökull National Park.
