The lodge offers beautiful views over the fjord and has a mezzanine level with 2 single beds in an upstairs loft, creating a cozy atmosphere. The rooms provide a lovely view, but could use some improvement in certain aspects. The service is exceptional, making the stay feel welcoming and pleasant. However, the dining options may not fully satisfy all guests. The location is pristine, with hot tubs offering outstanding views over the fjord and easy access to the nearby Glymur waterfall for hiking. The lodge also houses a restaurant where guests can enjoy meals with a scenic backdrop.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The mezzanine level in the room was perfect for larger suitcases, and having a hot tub was a delightful indulgence. The bedroom upstairs in a loft gave a cozy and unique feel to the room. The location was superb, being very close to a breathtaking waterfall and offering easy access to the fantastic Snaefellsnes peninsula for a memorable day trip. The dining experience in the lodge's restaurant with a view was phenomenal, especially with the delicious beef dishes. The facilities were top-notch, and I enjoyed every moment of my time here.
