What Panorama Glass Lodge West says
“Our Lodges were the first houses in Iceland (in 2017) where it is possible to sleep under a glass ceiling.”
“All of them do have a private hot tub and hammock nets and a sauna to share with one other Lodge.”
“For the west location, the lodges Heimdall and Njord in walking distance, too, and share one sauna but have their own parking lot behind the Lodge.”
“The standard Lodge is suitable for a maximum of 2 adults.”
“All bathrooms additionally have floor heating, a towel heater, ventilation, a window for fresh air, and a large rainfall shower.”
Getting the glass room

- Ask about what the website doesn't say. It doesn't mention: heated or defrosting glass, aurora alarm. Email before you pay.
- Check the confirmation. It should name the glass room. If it doesn't, contact the property.
