Fast check in and out at the reception. The rooms were spacious and clean. You can see the sheep just next to the accommodation. Breakfast was good. The hotel is also close to diamond beach so the view outside was great. Do note that the nearest grocery store and petrol is at least an hour and a half away. Our room was just next to the lounge where the shared TV and tea/coffee was. It got really noisy when big groups gathered there so much so that we had to tell them to lower their voices as we were trying to rest. Limited toiletries- bath soap provided.

There is fun museum on the premises, you check in in the same building. Don't be shy - go into the museum, that's where the check in happens.
Location is great, right on the ring road. Parking free on premises. My room was in a separate building about 200m away from the museum-dinner-breakfast building which I didn't mind at all. Entire hotel & room were quiet. My room was spacious, warm, the view from my room was amazing - sunrise over the ocean! <3
Dinner was nice. Food was delicious but don't make my mistake and order tea - you get free in the common area next to your room. Breakfast had varied options: typical for Iceland stays + some nice delicacies like meat pate, some jam & something else I don't remember but it was delicious.
Overall very pleasant, thank you!

This is the perfect location to stay to visit the Glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón, the Diamond beach and go on an Ice cave tour.
The service is good, happy people working there and good food.

Toplocatie voor een overnachting. Goed ontbijt en zeer ruim opgezet. In de lobby van de dormetories is een zithoek en gratis koffie en thee. Komen zeker nog een keer terug.

요쿨살론과 가까운 숙소
바닷가쪽으론 양들이 풀 뜯고 있고 숙소 뒤로는 산이 있음
직원들도 친절
다만 숙소 복도에서 나는 화장실 냄새가 견디기 어려울 정도였음
그래도 방 들어오면 냄새 안 나요

We didn't stay at the hotel. We stopped to eat at the museum restaurant. The soul and fish was delicious. After the meal we walked through the museum and read about a local author. Loved this experience as well.

I ate at the restaurant but was not an overnight guest. The food was amazing. I had the daily special which was a Sheppard's Pie / Lamb Stew. It was the best lamb I had in Iceland!

The location of the hotel is perfect, situated just 15 km from the Glacier and Diamond beach.
The staff was friendly. The room was pretty spacious and clean.
On a more positive note, we dined at the hotel's restaurant, and we must say the food was absolutely delicious. Breakfast was delicious too. We appreciated the opportunity to try some homemade delicacies made of lamb, such as sausage, smoked lamb, pate etc.
However, the interior of the room felt somewhat old-fashioned. Additionally, there was an unpleasant odor in the bathroom.

Exceptional experience! Very nice hotel with all needed: it’s split into several buildings where each has 10-30 rooms and own lobby with free tea/coffee and fridge, some board games and TV. Powerful hairdryer in each room. Good soundproofing, spacious room, unfortunately not that comfortable bed and pillows. Central heating works very good even in summer. Fabulous breakfast.
Close to the major sights nearby.
Pay attention to dining hours. Dinner was a bit pricey, available until 20:30. Welcoming and helpful staff.
We were so happy to find this place.

A lovely room near the glacier lagoon. Nice clean rooms. Staff very friendly. A lovely free large continental breakfast with cured meats, cheeses, bread, pancakes, spreads, cereal, sliced fruit, veggies, sweets, coffee, tea which started at 7:30 and was wonderful to eat before getting back on the road. There is also a restaurant on site, which had a nice dinner with lots of local ingredients.

Comodissima la posizione sulla strada, camere piccoline ma accettabili, personale giovane e disponibilissimo. Colazione ok!

The rooms were clean and nice. We got three beds and a bathroom. The place had coffee and tea in the lobby. Staff was friendly and nice. We ate dinner and breakfast there . The lamb, Lamb Schnitzel and Salmon was delicious. We caught the Northern lights because of the staff that saw it. Overall, great stay

Frechheit, nicht buchen!
Im Reiseführer stand etwas von "schick" - ist aber im Gegenteil nur wenig besser als Jugendherberge. Zimmer waren dreckig, Aussicht auf Baracken, Lage im Nirgendwo, Bettbezug dreckig, fremde Haare auf dem Laken.

아파트먼트 건물에 묵었습니다. 객실 큼직하고 조리도구 및 비품 잘 갖추어져 있습니다. 앞으로는 바다, 뒤로는 멋진 산, 우측으로는 빙하가 보입니다. 뷰가 예술입니다. 요쿨살론까지 10분, 스카프타펠 빙하까지 1시간 정도의 거리에 있어 위치도 매우 좋습니다.
조식도 맛있었습니다. 특히 홈메이드 햄이 아주아주 맛있었어요. 직원들 서비스도 좋았습니다.

Super miejsce na nocleg w Islandii.Przemiła obsługa,niwktórzy kelnerzy z Polski, jak zresztą w wielu turystycznych miejscach w tym kraju.Pyszne jedzenie i bardzo przyjemna restauracja. Pokoje duże, dobrze wyposażone.

The restaurant is nice with a good menu and friendly service. You can see the glacier to the west of the hotel, which is situated between a mountain and the sea.

We spent a night at Hali Country Hotel as part of our 2 week trip along the ring road. We picked it due to its excellent location - only 12 minutes from Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Given the location we were looking for our options were limited. This is a clean, well organized, and well run hotel in the perfect location. The price is high - given the limited options for the region that’s not surprising. Our room and bathroom were clean and we had a lovely view of the ocean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was simple, it included with our stay. Dinner was not included - but there are no other restaurants for at least 30-40 minutes in any direction so it’s pretty much your only choice. The food was excellent (but expensive). I had the lamb and my husband had the arctic char and both were delicious. Staff were incredibly kind and welcoming.

Hotel muito bom, ficamos nele duas vezes, na segunda vez tinhamos agendado um passeio a Ice Cave pela madrugada, então resolvi ficar no hotel novamente para poder chegar antes do Sol nascer no ponto de saída, avisei que não iriamos tomar o café da manhã e o pessoal do hotel gentilmente deixou um kit de café da manhã no hall do hotel para a gente! Os quartos são muito bons, espaçosos e o hotel que é uma antiga fazenda, fica em um lugar muito bonito, conta com um restaurante onde é servido o café da manhã, que gostamos muito também. O restaurante tem poucas opções de comidas e não é muito barato como todos os restaurantes de hotéis da Islândia, mas como ele fica muito afastado de tudo, ter um restaurante por lá acaba ajudando muito. Na primeira vez jantei no restaurante e na segunda levei a minha própria comida. Se tiverem tempo aproveitem para visitar o museu que fica anexo ao restaurante, vale a pena para conhecer um pouco da história da fazenda.

One of our most amazing experiences in Iceland. Room had its own bathroom and was clean, but the star of the show is the friendly staff and the incredible Thorbergur exhibition. It was very immersive, surprisingly informative and far surpassed expectations. The best place to stay in the east! (Note - photos are from exhibition)

The best at Jökulsárlón and around
