Reviews of Ekra Glacier Lagoon Hotel

missingWrote a review on 08 Mar
The views from the room were stunning, showcasing the nearby lagoon and icy peaks of Vatnajökull, perfect for capturing amazing photos. The room itself was cozy and warm, ideal for a winter stay after a day spent exploring the breathtaking landscapes.
Accessing the hotel was a challenge. the access road was nearly impassable, even for a 4-wheel drive, leaving us reliant on local help just to reach the place. our room was on the top floor and felt cramped, with the bathroom sink stained yellow, making the overall value questionable considering the price we paid. We also faced a bizarre issue with our shower, which seemed to have water issues while other fixtures worked fine, making it inconvenient for two days. Lastly, we found a lack of storage optionsfor luggage—no closet or luggage rack made it tough to manage winter gear effectively.

The stay was quite memorable. Enjoyed the expansive views from the wooden deck, which offered a perfect spot for relaxation. The comfortable bed made it easy to unwind after a day's adventures. Having a kettle in the room for tea and coffee was a nice touch. the access road posed a significant challenge, being quite rough and snowy, which made arrival difficult. It required local assistance just to reach the hotel. the absence of breakfast options was disappointing. having at least a yogurt or snack available would have been helpful for late arrivals. Lastly, the lack of a shoes-off policy inside the room was a bit inconvenient given the winter conditions. It would enhance the experience greatly.

Great for groups seeking adventure
Rooms were nice and luxurious, not a huge room but cozy enough to enjoy! The view from our place was something else, I could see the lagoon from the window, perfect spots for killer photos.
Wasn't exactly cheap, but honestly acceptable for the experience.

Dining options were limited and required a drive, which was inconvenient.

A cozy accommodation with beautiful views, perfect for a romantic getaway. The heated bathroom floor and spacious shower were delightful touches, contributing to a comfortable stay. the access road was quite challenging, even for a 4-wheel drive, and the dining options were limited, necessitating a drive to find food. the interaction with staff was minimal due to the lack of reception, yet they were responsive via email, which made the reservation process smooth.

Absolutely loved the view from my room, so stunning! The self-check-in made it a breeze, and the room was big and comfortable. A powerful shower felt heavenly after my day of adventures.
Mind you, bring snacks. dining options are as scarce as a unicorn around here! a shoe rack could've prevented my poor floors from looking like winter wonderland trails.

Cozy spot with stunning views
Spent a night here, and wow, the views are epic! The room was toasty and comfy, great for a winter stay. Missed out on breakfast options, though. The picnic area was cool for a little outdoor vibe. Efficient lock box check-in made getting to our room super easy! Just be ready to drive far for dining.
