Ekra Glacier Lagoon

Camera grande e spaziosa

Outstanding room and bathroom

There is absolutely nothing around

Struttura pulita, accogliente.

Nice option when you want to stay close to the Jökulsarlon lake. It's easy to find thanks to the detailed description we received a few days before. The place runs as a self check-in, no problems with getting in the room. The room was big and comfortable, designed in Nordic style.

That was a very good choice for accommodation during our road trip in Iceland. Easy to get in - just follow the directions given by the receptionist via booking or email. We were looking for something a bit remote and peaceful. And that was it! Self check in worked flawlessly. Plenty of space to park your car. Our room no 5 was at the top of the stairs right around the corner. The room was specious, modern style but very cozy with comfy beds and pillows. Everything was spotlessly clean. In the bathroom you can find local cosmetics and you can buy them at a sister hotel. They smell lovely. The view out of the window just breathes taking. You don't have to worry about the temperature inside the room. Heating is automatic and keeps the room very warm. There is a large freshly renovated porch/terrace right outside of the room from which you'll have an amazing overview of the surroundings and as a bonus and if you are lucky with the weather you can get a chance to see aurora above the mountain (right side of the porch above the stairs). With this room comes a discount for meals in their sister hotel (10% off). The sister hotel is very close - 2 minutes by car. It was a beautiful place, big and elegant and the restaurant was excellent for a late dinner. Make sure that you mention your discount! They are not always aware of that. This is a perfect location because it was very close to the glacier lagoon (20 minutes -22.2 km) and diamond beach. We had booked tours next morning and getting there from our room was a very easy with no problems at all. I forgot to mention the most important thing. This place has their very own waterfall behind the building... their is a short distance easy path (more challenging in the winter but still fairly short about 5 minutes). If you have any questions you can always message the reception and they will respond straight away. Great communication.

There is not really much. For me personally they are not negatives but I'll write them anyway as an indication to others. There is no microwave in the room. Restaurant at the sister hotel do not belong to the cheapest even with the discount. There are no other restaurants nearby so if you do not feel like going out make sure that you buy some snacks and some meals which does not require warming up. What would be really nice to have in the room is shoe rack or storage unit. That one little floor rug is definitely not enough. Take your own usb chargers. And lastly we regret that our stay was soooo short;(.... well... maybe one day will visit Ekra rooms!
