9.6/10 Exceptional! (375 reviews)
The nicest hotel we stayed at in Iceland, and the best toilet paper! Parking lot right across the street (free over the whole island) and centrally located easy to walk to everything in town. Breakfast was also the best we had out of all the hotels we stayed at. Lovely! Would easily come back.

If you happen to be in Iceland, hop on a quick ferry ride to the Westman Islands. Here you can hike up the active Eldfell Volcano. On your way up you'll see the rocks change color, and spot a few active hot spots to feel the temperature rising from below. Make sure to get to the very top no matter how tired you are. It's a steep and rocky way up but the views from up there are astounding. #lifeatexpedia #travel #explore #iceland
