You can reach some of the area's best attractions within an hour by car, like Snæfellsjökull Glacier, Arnastapi and the arched rock Gatklettur, and the black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur. 

The hotel offers a mix of modern rooms, apartments, and houses with the necessary amenities to stay in this remote area with limited dining options. Most rooms have a shared bathroom, while the apartments and houses are ideal for larger parties of up to 15 people. Rooms have access to a common kitchen area, while houses and apartments have fully furnished kitchens and washing machines. Some have mountain views, and all have patios, and bathrooms include rainfall shower heads.
