    The hotel in Snaefellsbaer was stunningly beautiful. The location was favorable and magnificent, and Svodufoss was just a short stroll away from the property. The bus stop was conveniently located 900 feet away.

    Great value for money, the room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the mountains. The location was peaceful and beautiful, right by the water. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

    The breakfast option could be improved with more variety and selection.
