Best Hotels in Reykholt, Iceland

The selling point of this house is location. It is very close to geyser and the Golden Waterfall in the Geyser geothermal landscape area, located in Golden circle. There is a N1 gas station and a family restaurant Mika at the door. Specialty food shiq various Icelandic lobsters Laungoustine and chocolate, mainly serving locals and welcoming tourists. There is also a large family greenhouse farm nearby Fridhelma, which offers a special lunch (12-16 point): a buffet with tomato sauce soup and bread in a greenhouse full of tomatoes and flowers, and a bar with Horse Show reservations. Not far from the attractions, there is also a hot spring town Fludir where you can soak in hot springs.

Location is easy to find and outdoor bath. Simple kitchen with two stoves. Still very nice and clean. The refrigerator simply keeps it cold, not freezing. Full breakfast, traditional continental breakfast.

The hotel is close to Gullfoss waterfall and a short hop to Geysir. It’s very remote and high up and is almost the last stop on route 35 before it becomes an F road (rough unsurfaced track with river crossings) that crosses the centre of Iceland. In winter and in the snow this is a cold and icy place and a picture of splendid isolation. So enough about the location. The hotel itself is not a mountain chalet but has that sort of vibe about it. It’s 3 star and family run. It’s not large maybe 30-35 rooms I would guess. It’s Restaurant and Lounge area are contained on the one space though separated by screens and it is all very bright and airy with great views. The bedrooms were not that large but had everything you need and were warm and cozy with decent bathroom and modern fittings and overall of a very good standard. We ate in the restaurant and I was a bit nervous of what the standard might be like and I had considered driving to a nearby restaurant through the snow and ice at night. I need not have worried. The food was excellent and really well prepared and this standard persisted when we had breakfast the following morning and this was a really pleasant surprise well above expectations for a remote three star hotel. It’s family run and you really get the impression that the staff are proud of their hotel and they should be. It’s great. They were very attentive and pleasant and clearly knew what they were doing despite all being quite young. One little piece of advice for the hotel. Put a bit more cozy furniture in the reception area. It’s a wee bit Spartan and a small change would make that welcome feeling you get in the hotel complete, but that’s a very small point and I highly recommend this sweet little mountain hotel.

Outstanding service in the middle of nowhere. The owner had vision to put the hotel in a unique place. Staff is attentive, courteous, helpful and respond to every request. The place is new, clean, modern, and efficient. The meals were excellent, better than expected. The lamb was delicious. Breakfasts were good as well. Plenty of choice and plenty to eat. I highly recommend it. I will go back.

Great and comfortable stay. The keypad entry makes check in simple. Loved this feature. Several rooms were contained in housing unit and our neighbors were friendly, quiet, and/or absent. The door lock feature on our room required we lock the handle before entering our room. We didn't see another way to lock the door from within the room. We figured it out but advanced info would have helped.

A very comfortable hotel with exceptional food. It was great to see a kids menu that didn’t include fish with chips and burgers with fries. My son loved his meat balls. My dinner was the best I have eaten in an hotel or restaurant in Iceland over the last five days. I really do mean good !!! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We have stayed in a wide variety of hotels across south Iceland at different price ranges from low to high and this was the best … it’s clean and comfortable, staff are kind and lovely, the hotel is well maintained and the food is great. It doesn’t have the perception of luxury of some of the larger hotels and the rooms are rustic - however the hotel is wonderful for its simplicity and charm with high quality of food. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

Right next to the Geysers Visitor Center. When I booked, I saw a small wooden house. This time I went to live in their newly built building. The room is very large, with complete facilities, and there are disposable slippers. The faucet of the shower is very low, so it is difficult to wash! The breakfast was average, not as rich as expected. Chocolate cake is delicious.

The hotel is small, clean and tidy, breakfast is OK, the service staff is warm, it is a small hotel that can stay, will not be fooled.

We have been set in the independent apartment that can host 4 people comfortable, with a large area day and two rooms (one double and one double). Very clean and provided everything. I recommend that we come with the expenses already made because it is very isolated. To reach it, a deviation from the main road is expected, and we chose it because the morning after we had planned the excursion to Landmannalaugar, because it is along road 30 and therefore strategic position to reach the area.
