Great hotel close to Skaftafell National Park
"Their pictures do not do justice. We loved this hotel!!! The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, modern, and the sheets so soft. They had a restaurant and bar. Close to the Skaftafell National Park, and breakfast was amazing, lots of selections."
