It's close to the diamond beach and the kitchen is properly equipped. The structure looks quite basic, including rooms, but beds are comfortable: for one night is completely fine.

Recommend this place so much! Very helpful owner and delicious breakfast, homemade cake in the morning :) Place is very good located if you want to go to the glacier tour.

The guesthouse gave a accurate description of the area so we knew what services were there and not there and could plan ahead. We loved walking around and the sights and hikes that were nearby. It was so easy to get to the Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach, and we could go back to see them at night too. The hosts had many recommendations for what to do and it definitely enhanced our trip!

Absolutely loved the variety of fresh, farm to table offerings, and homemade breads at breakfast. Dinner menu was extensive, meals were delicious. Enjoyed seeing the sea birds, and sheep in the pasture. Views of mountain and bay/ ocean were great. Very close to Glacier Bay and Diamond Beach. Peaceful. Staff were friendly. Highly recommend and will return when I come back to Iceland.

we had an early assembly for ice cave/glacier walk so the location was perfect (<15min drive). Nearby area to visit are Diamond Beach & Iceberg Lagoon but we missed that due to bad weather condition.

We chose it because of the proximity to the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. What we didn’t know was that it was the perfect place for a super comfortable first night after flying and a long drive. The owners contacted us in the morning to ask if we’d like dinner, which we gratefully agreed to, as we’d not been to this area before and knew we would be tired after a long travel day. The dinner was delicious with great choices, and was beautifully spread red and served. The surrounding property was stunning - farmlands and majestic cliffs filled with seabirds. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and new modern amenities. I will definitely return

Some great features in this part of Iceland, Diamond Beach was just incredible and like nothing else I have ever seen, just wish I had had the time to stay and take photos all day and night. The LAgoon upstream was also incredible, worth visiting after high tide and again as the time is coming in, the Icebergs move in a different way at both stages of the tides and it is worth seeing both.

its just great to see the icebergs at the lagoon floating out to the sea. If you have time, watch the whole cycle of the tide. Also don´t miss diamond beach. Especially in the morning when the sun rises you can take great pictures of the sparkling ice pieces lying on the black beach.
The location is good for joining tours from “Glacier Adventure” and you will get a discount from the Hostel. Moreover, you might see the Aurora light if you’re lucky enough. Furthermore, the WiFi network was strong. Also, you will meet different people around the world. If you forgot to buy some food before your arrival, 1. the hostel had a shelf in the shared kitchen which sells food; 2. there was a restaurant nearby. At last, feel free to enjoy the welcome cake and drinks.
The Hali Country Hotel is a family run country hotel ('surprise, surprise'), well located near the glacier lagoon 'Jökulsarlon' (approximately 10 min driving time).
Due to its country style and its location in the middle of nowhere it is a lovely place to be. The 'farm like' flair is enhanced by the animals (lambs, goats, birds) which live there too.
The family (/ staff) is really welcoming and warm-hearted!
Last but but not least: The breakfast was versatile and delicious.
Beautiful location with easy access to the glacier lagoon and surrounding areas! The room was clean and the hot shower was much appreciated after a long day in the rain snd cold. We planned ahead and brought sandwiches because there isn’t much in the way of food in the area and that worked out well with the mini fridge to store food over might. We were sorry we couldn’t stay longer, but will come back the next time we’re in Iceland.
Staff was super nice, there was welcome cake that was delicious! Everything was clean and comfortable the kitchen was well stocked. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and skyr were complimentary.
The room was a good size and came with a sink which was nice to have.
A couple of restaurants in the same parking area, they are pricey, but that's to be expected in iceland.
Hali is always the first choice stay when we are in the area. We literally stayed here every year or time when we come to Iceland. Staying here is like home coming. Food is great, room is comfort. Staff are helpful and friendly. This remain to be the only hotel or guesthouse that I have visited in Iceland that provides a dry room for wet clothing.
The owners of the guesthouse are so friendly! Family run guesthouses are the best places to stay in Iceland. The place is sparkling clean and only a 10 minute drive from the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. There is also a restaurant and a tour operators in the little village which is all walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay at this place!
It was better than we expected. Pleasant owner, big eating area, very clean, great coffe, juice, milk, even traditional cake for free for all guests! You could find some food for breakfast for very small tips. Definitely recommended-we felt like in a cozy small hotel. They even had meniu from local restaurants nearby
Best hotel I stayed at during my trip! The room and bathroom was spacious and modern. The lightening was good and the food was good as well. The views were of a beach and mountain. Has such a nice experience staying here and the staff was friendly as well. Saw a glimpse of the northern lights here. Highly recommend!
This was a great place to stay after going to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. The guest house was super clean and the staff was very friendly! It close enough that you can get the lagoon and the beach early morning or late evening to be there before or after the tour busses are there.
Everything . Location is 15min drive to Jokulsarlon and diamond beach. Parking in front of the house. Great breakfast , friendly service. The kitchen and the beds were all very clean and comfortable. Our best stop for the 10 days journey in Iceland.
The hostel is located in a very small village (few buildings), where there are also two restaurants. The room was good, the shared bathrooms were good, and the staff was very helpful and nice. It is a very good solution in such area. I recommend it.
Great location for Diamond Beach with an excellent restaurant next door. Rooms are cosy (like a cabin), but a nice size, and the place was clean. We saw an owner briefly, but checked in and out by ourselves, which is the norm in Iceland it seems!
The hotel is in a unique location, with amazing views. Staff is there to help and provide information, good breakfast is also served in the restaurant building.
Great option for staying nearby some of the main touristic spots
This country hotel surrounded by the beautiful mountains and lagoon was amazing!! Fully recommend this country hotel if you want a quiet, comfortable stay in the vicinity of the Glaciers.
Great location and super quiet. Had one of my best sleeps on this trip in this hotel. It is very remote but within a short distance to some famous sights. The staff are very friendly
Only 10 min from Glacier Lagoon. Beautiful setting on water with towering mountain behind. Great breakfast, which is included. Very comfy beds and room temperature.
A great stay. Comfortable beds. A warm community kitchen with refrigerator and cooking basics. Close to the glacier lagoon so you can enjoy a great visit.
