3 star hotels in Iceland

Great experience! Me and my girlfriend stayed two night at Laki Hotel and everything was nice. Good breakfast, nice and tidy room, friendly and polite staff. We also spotted Northern Lights from the hotel parking, due to its position.

What a great hotel! My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our recent trip. It was a perfect mid-way point between Jokulsarlon glacier area and Vik. They had fabulous rooms, dining, and bar experience. Would recommend!

A good option in the middle of nowhere! Great breakfast that was included in the hotel fee. But dinner was too pricey. Lovely views from a beautiful deck. Comfortable rooms. 3-person.

We've stayed here only for one night. The place is nice, the rooms were clean and spacious, they have a nice restaurant and bar - good service and good drinks. The view from the terrace was impressive. Beautiful atmosphere. But they clearly need to make some improvements for the bathrooms.

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The bedrooms were comfortable and a good size and the breakfast was good. They allowed us to store some bits in their fridge which was great. The highlight for us was seeing the northern lights here.

The location is okay. On the way to Vatnajökull, the breakfast tastes good. Overall, the price/performance ratio is not high.

Beautiful little, well equiped cabins in a lovely setting. Service was excellent. I had to call as stuck in a snow storm/ whiteout and thought we were going to be late to book in. This was no problem. Great breakfast selection. I would definitely come again.

Breakfast is very great and the landowners are very friendly. We were actually living at the Landbrot Guesthouse, but have the free breakfast offered by the owner there at Magma.

The room was absolutely wonderful! Clean, spacious, and with a stunning view. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we truly enjoyed our stay 🩷 A special mention as well for the restaurant 👌🏻

We had amazing stay at this place. The polish receptionist was exceptional and made our stay truly memorable. I would recommend it to everyone

Roommhad good views and clean. Heating was more than adequate. Food was good too, but can be improved. Staff were helpful and friendly. My son forgot his passport and wallet in the room after we checked out, they kept it and they waited for us to comeback the next day.

On a windy and rainy day in Iceland, stepping into a cozy little house in the lake district is incredibly warm and comfortable. The rooms aren't big, but they're just the right amount of comfortable. The hotel staff are all young and energetic, so the service was excellent. Especially since we had to travel early the next morning, the hotel prepared a huge bag of food for us! The previous night, we...

Perfect! From the first moment i entered the room i felt like crying for my happiness. It is true i had been camping the last week before that but, the rooms are warm, there is a kettle and some coffee and tea, maybe the shower would be great to have like a door of glass and not a curtain. The breakfast was out of this world as you can imagine by the pictures. Overall the room could not have been better...

A nice hotel conveniently located near restaurants, groceries, and the harbor. Wonderfully friendly staff. Large rooms with private baths. I didn't pay for the breakfast because it was ridiculously expensive for what is offered, so don't know if it is good. Overall, a nice hotel in a lovely town.

Very nice hotel in a lovely location with great views. The evening meal was good as was the breakfast too. Staff very friendly and helpful. Not much in the local town but there is a little restaurant worth a visit. The rooms are well-equipped and clean, though a little soulless. As we found in quite a number of hotels, unless you are travelling on a coach tour it is harder to get the best view...

The hotel is simple yet elegant. Nordic hotels often appear simple, but once you enter, you're completely comfortable. Compared to hotels in Asia, the rooms seem quite spacious, but considering this is a remote fishing village in the Westfjords, having such a modern and comfortable hotel is a luxury in itself. The hotel restaurant is amazing. The menu is simple, and we ordered the usual lamb and fish...

Wonderful location. Convenient and easy parking. Definitely, one of the best 4 starts hotels in Iceland. Will return.

Good chain-hotel, clean, and you get what you expect from Fosshotels. The drawback is that the breakfast is OK, but not always quality ingredients, also the dinner was very expensive for a small portion and not even good quality. p.s. In the town is a much better place for dinner.

Ideally located for trips around the local area. The service from staff was fantastic, they were very knowledgeable and happy to share information about the best things to do. The breakfast offerings was superb. Rooms were basic but clean.

Wonderful stay at Hotel Norourland! The hotel is clean, comfortable, and well presented, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The rooms are cozy and quiet, and the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Friendly staff and a great location add to the experience. Highly recommended for anyone traveling through this beautiful part of Iceland!

The location is easy to access nearby restaurants, supermarket and other places. The room is comfortable with a big window we can see snowing in late Oct 25.

Friendly staff. Convenient location. Walk to downtown in a few minutes. Very nice breakfast. No elevator if that is a concern for you.

Clean & centrally located. Short walk to shops, restaurants, sites, and water tours. Good breakfast choices of local foods & those internationally familiar. Just a bit worn around the edges but clean and comfortable. Knowledgeable and friendly staff who, as one can expect from all in Iceland. Yes, I would stay there again.

Our double room was spacious and clean. It had a water kettle and complimenary tea in the room. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices: best buffet we had in 8 hotels in Iceland. We could park in front of the hotel (free 16:00 - 10:00). Restaurants in the city center are within walking distance. Due to the location there was traffic noise till night and in walking distance.

Excellent stay at Hotel Valaskjálf! The hotel is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with well-appointed rooms that make it easy to relax after a day of sightseeing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. A great balance of comfort, value, and Icelandic hospitality. Highly recommended!

The hotel is nice, everything is pretty clean. The staff is friendly. The beds aren't very comfortable, the mattress is soft, and there's almost nothing to eat for breakfast. A refrigerator in the room would be nice.

I can’t understand how can someone say that the room is small and has “many” stairs.. it is literally 15 stairs to the room, which is very spacious as you can see in the picture.

Breakfast was good but only from 07 to 09, st short and not been able to check in befor 16:00 and then have to check out at 10:00, not good. The bar had very poor selection

The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants, supermarkets, and numerous gas stations, making it convenient for self-driving travelers. The front desk staff was helpful, not only helping an elderly person with their luggage but also offering information on the Aurora Borealis sightings at night. The breakfast was varied and delicious.

friendly and helpful staff, arranged a ground floor room immediately when I informed him of my knee injury. good breakfast and original pizza👍🏻

Nice experience. I booked Fosshotel Raudara and Lind for my trip this time. For the same company Fosshotel I experienced two distinct service. This Raudara is a nice one! Thumb up for them. Staff are friendly and helpful! Rooms are clean, nice breakfast start from 6.30am and with lift. Fosshotel Lind just opposite this hotel. Staff not friendly and helpful at all, rooms are ok but small toilet.Their...

Triple room right at the end of the corridor of the top floor. Very quiet and spacious room. Clean facilities. Excellent location, within walking distance to town and the church. Free on street parking near hotel.

I stayed two nights and accommodations, were both affordable and immaculate. The staff were absolutely amazing. They help you with anything from postcards you need sent out to questions about the city and the best places to eat. The location is also amazing. There was no need to rent a car to see the city. If I could give more than five stars, I would I have stayed at other hotels in Iceland and I...

Breakfast is nice, front desk staff is responsible and smart

Breakfast is nice, front desk staff is responsible and smart

The smiles of the staff at the counter and restaurant were genuine and lovely, a rare sight in Iceland. Although the hotel was old, it was clean and quiet at night. However, most people in Iceland travel independently, and no matter which hotel you stay in at different times, you'll always hear the sound of someone opening and closing the door (for late-night flights, people chasing the Northern Lights...

Easy self check in as we were late. We were lucky to sighted aurora during our one night stay there

This guesthouse-style hotel is located on the edge of town. It's generally clean and tidy, and the rooms are spacious. For the price in Iceland, you really can't complain.

Breathtaking Views, Located in Hofn town, clean, comfort and convenient, good restaurants are within walking distance. Breakfast is simple with quality good food, Free flow of drinks all day.

Super clean! All the amenities you’d need and a decent breakfast to fill you up before you hit the road. Great view as well. And prime location if you’re staying in Hofn.

A great stay to go around Hofn and the Diamond beach. It also offers breakfast which is basic things but enough for us. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the room we had was quite spacious.

We loved the Milk Factory in Höfn, Iceland. So Clean, beautiful view, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Will stay here again.

NOT downtown, but walkable. Breakfast is basic, but adequate. Rooms dated but clean and comfortable.

The girl who checked us in couldn't have been any nicer - a great first impression! Also on the "pros" list: Nice, strong shower. Good view from the room. Good OJ and apple juice at breakfast. Cons: The door sagged and a screw fell out of the lock in our room. My mom's room wouldn't lock at all. No washrag was provided, and the shower curtain would get all over you while showering. Something...

We stayed here for 4 days in October 2025 and honestly had such a great experience. The staff were super friendly and helped us figure out the local transport like absolute champs. The rooms were spotless, the breakfast hit the spot every morning, and the evening cake? It was delicious. Huge shoutout to the lovely weekend staff member who helped us store our luggage until we left for Keflavík in the...

Very good, cheap, good service, and decent breakfast

Nice hotel off the city center but walkable. Room comfortable enough for 4 people. It was like a duplex with 4 comfortable twin beds. Bathroom kind of small. Room did have some hot springs odor that was not pleasant but nothing overwhelming. Staff nice and courteous. Breakfast was very simple continental but lacked more types of bread or danishes.

The reception staff is helpful. Rooms are cleaned daily. On excursions, given the hotel's location, we're the first to arrive home! However, there are no refrigerators in the rooms and no shops nearby.

Very convenient check-in. Super cute place. Hot tub was amazing.

Stayed here with my wife and kids and had a great experience. 10/10 highly recommend. Beautiful nature and a great place to escape to that’s still close to town.

We arrived late but Cindy was there to greet us and give us our key and overview of the property. She was also there at the excellent breakfast and chatted with us about her life in Iceland and gave us recommendations for things to do in the area. We saw whales from the pier and walked along the quiet beach. Overall an excellent stay.

My family of four had a lovely stay at the Holt Inn. The room was spacious and clean; the property nestled in a gorgeous and peaceful valley; and the hostess Cindy (whom my 2.5 and 4.5 year olds loved) was warm, welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. To top it off, we saw the northern lights and about a million stars from the hot tub!

This was an excellent experience. The Inn is fairly simple. It's comfortable. The rooms are pretty basic, very clean and comfortable. The common areas are basic and clean and comfortable. There's a microwave in the dining area if you have leftovers or bring something simple. There's a cookie basket in the evenings. There's also a communal refrigerator in there. Breakfast is a buffet . Standard stuff...

Staff was excellent, personable & attentive. Room was a little small but adequate, very clean & comfy. Great rural location with amazing views of the sound & mountains.

The hotel is amazing! The room with an ocean view exceeded all our expectations! Everything was clean and the breakfast was delicious – especially the waffles made by Joanna, who made our stay a truly wonderful experience! :) We planned to stay for one night, but ended up staying for two. And we’ll definitely be back! 😁

I was very pleased with the hotel. I got a room with a workspace and a view over Patreksfjörður. The staff was wonderful and gave me a warm welcome. The breakfast was good, always with the scent of freshly baked waffles. I stayed here for a few nights and hardly wanted to leave.

It's a small, cozy, clean hotel with a beautiful view. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is simple but in a great atmosphere. The staff is super helpful.

Hotel West is an absolute gem! The mesmerizing views are breathtaking and made every moment feel special. The hot tub and sauna were the perfect way to relax after a long day, and the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. Everything about my stay was wonderful—I can’t wait to come back!

A cozy and clean hotel with friendly owner and staff. Our room had great view of the fjord and mountains on the other side. Great location.

A cozy and clean hotel with friendly owner and staff. Our room had great view of the fjord and mountains on the other side. Great location.

Great accommodation, clean and with a beautiful view of the village. The responsible crew at the reception and also the cleaning team. I enjoyed staying there, will come back soon surely! :)

I was a bit worried initially from some of the bad reviews but actually pleasantly surprised. Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Yes it’s a university building some time of the year but actually really good. Highly recommend. Private en-suite bathroom too.

Rooms were ok, quite tight. TV in room was a pleasant surprise until we realized there are no channels. Cleanliness could use an upgrade - there was remnants of lipstick on the drinking glasses in the bathroom. Despite the above still giving 5 stars due to exceptional service. The front desk staff, specifically Kasper, went out of his way to try and help us brainstorm solutions for putting through...

The hotel in Iceland was not too bad, but for the price, I expected more in terms of equipment and services. The room was quite basic, and amenities were limited. However, the location is excellent and very convenient for exploring the area. Overall, it’s okay for a short stay, but there’s room for improvement.

Fun with the corridor names, I was in Jotunheim myself, which was a bit worrying, but I had my Thor's hammer with me so I was safe. 😁 Joking aside, nice hotel for me, good distance to everything, good service and nice staff.

This hotel ceases to be a student residence during the summer. The rooms are clearly for student use. There is an elevator available upon request and only for people with reduced mobility. The breakfast buffet is acceptable. There is a proper restaurant on the other side.

not a very good experience with this hotel due to facilities and service provided. we were caught up in a storm causing us to miss the first night of our check in. tried to ask for cancellation but not allowed, which was fair enough. And since we had to check out before 7am the next day, we asked if we can get 6 sets of breakfast to go (free breakfast included in our stay). Our request was declined...

I think the hotel is a bit old with no dry and wet separation, but good location and nice staff there.

Well located and only a short walk to the city centre-old town. Bathrooms/shower is too small for use. Beds are comfortable. limited services offered at the accomodation.

The hotel is within walking distance of the pedestrian street. There are parking spaces next to the hotel. It's a typical three-star hotel.

The hotel has a great location, close to the surrounding area, including supermarkets, and there's a shuttle bus nearby.

In Iceland, where hotel prices are extremely high, this is a decent place to stay. The location is good, the room is small but clean, and the heating is sufficient. However, the hotel door closes after 11 pm and is opened after guests ring a bell, but the front desk staff were asleep, which wasn't good for making guests wait outside in the cold for a long time.

Beautiful hotel in a great location. Dinner was delicious and great breakfast selection. Hotel host was kind and helpful!

The hotel is located a long (but beautiful) drive down a gravel, pothole-ridden road but you truly feel away from it all out here. Super quiet, no crowds (encountered more sheep here than people), and very authentically Iceland. Accommodations are rustic, but still comfortable and had everything we needed. We appreciated the spaciousness of the room. Dinner, while you get no choices, was a tasty home...

This was one of the best views in a hotel that i have ever had. It is so peaceful and truely reflects tbe icelandic way of life. Excellent service and management. This is a must stay for those seeking an icelandic way of life ecperience. Defenitely worth the drive!

a fantastic time, easy to check-in and all was smooth. Clean place and even cleaned my room after the first night (of a 2-night stay)

Fantastic hotel. Cozy, great rooms (better than most of higher class hotels/Guesthouse), amazing service and staff. Also great location to explore the Red Beach and the bird cliff. Absolutly recommended, if you booked here - you will enjoy!

Cery cool location with very cool owner keeping things lively during breakfast.

Nice accommodation and clean environment. Very convenient and central place of stay

Accommodations were great as everything in the city centre was nearby and the airport shuttle has a bus stop just across the street making it easy and very accessible. Would highly recommend.

Extremely good service, the hotel made perfect arrangement for check-in out of office hour. I could get my room key easily and I'm able to store my luggage afterwards. Millions thanks for the arrangement of the hotel. The room is clean and cozy, it is good for solo traveler. It got everything you need.

The hotel is in a good location, very close to bus stop 9, making it easy to get around. Restaurants and supermarkets are nearby, making it very convenient. The hotel is clean, but toilet paper easily falls to the floor, and there's no shelf in the shower room. It would be great if this could be improved.

Perfect location for someone traveling solo. Conveniently located to dining and shopping. Very walkable to anywhere no need for car rental or public transportation. I booked my tours thru Viator and my pickup location was feet's away!

Really good location for our need. At edge of city center, but close enough. Around the corner from bus stop 9 and a block from a very good food hall and 24/7 market.

We had just come from another Fosshotel that was truly exceptional, so we were hoping for a room of similar quality. Instead, we were assigned a wheelchair-accessible room, which wasn’t quite what we expected. While we understand the importance of accessibility, the setup didn’t feel comfortable for us personally—features like the support bars around the sink, the adapted shower, and the bed placed...

A lovely hotel in a great location. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I had dinner at the bar and the burger was really tasty and good quality. I was very pleased with the service. I highly recommend this place.

Basic conference hotel. It was ok.

The hotel has a good location and is convenient to reach by car. However, I was quite disappointed with the room assignment: as a regular guest arriving around 3 p.m., I was placed in an accessible room without being asked for my consent or informed in advance. This is not professional, and I believe guests deserve proper communication and the option to choose their room type.

Amazing hotel. The staff really do care you are comfortable and happy. Helped with my dietary issues with no fuss or drama. Breakfast was delicious and fresh, choice of hot or cold breakfast, pastries and cereals. Can not speak highly enough of this hotel.

It was a nice stay. Friendly staff and good amenities. Will come back for my next trip.

The Hotel Klettur is a delightful place to stay while you're in Iceland. The staff was extremely helpful especially in my moments of confusion with walking directions. I did have the free breakfast with my stay and was very happy with the offerings. It’s location in my opinion was perfect and the neighborhood was very walkable, with many places to shop and eat including a grocery store around the corner...

It would be better if there is hot chocolate provided in the breakfast, the heating in the room was unstable

Lots of nearby shops and restaurants to walk to, and a Bonus grocery store is just around the corner. ATMs are also close by. The bar has relatively affordable drinks considering how expensive alcohol at the bars are. The staff was great: helpful and courteous. The rooms get pretty hot with the heat running but you can crack open a small window in the room. Showers have adjustable height shower heads

The room size was decent, much better than what you'd find in popular European cities. The location is convenient, it's about a 30-minute walk to the cathedral or the pier.

We've been there for only one night. It was very clean The. stuff was very friendly. There was free excellent breakfast. After we checked out there was a dedicated place to leave the luggage because our flight was a few hours later.There was also a place to rest until your flight.

First off this place has an amazing location for food, museums, and rooms with a view. The breakfast was amazing and helps us save so much money!! Plus pick up point right outside the hotel. The rooms were amazingly clean, water tasted and felt perfect after each long day hiking. I highly recommend doing this hotel

Perfect location if you have earlier flight, it's 10min drive only to airport

It takes 5 minutes to walk to the hotel after getting off from the stop assigned by the Flybus plus services. Yet, the hotel is close to the city centre with lots of shops & restaurants nearby. The cleanliness and the breakfast is very general.

The hotel staff were all realy friendly and helpful. Location was perfect, 5 min walk from the main bus stops and right on the high street. Rooms were realy big with a little kitchenette too which we weren't expecting. One night the bar next door had renovations going on untill gone past midnight which kept us awake as it was against our room wall. Spoke to the receptionist the next morning and...

This hotel is in the best location- very close to rainbow street, bus stops, grocery store, second hand store, and much more! Even being in the middle of everything it is quiet and homey feeling. Extremely cozy, charming, and well thought out.

Hotel was on a very central location. Room was very clean. We were provided with all kinds of amenities. The morning breakfast had so much variety. Supermarkets and other shops were on the same street. Staff was also very helpful

Excellent location. Nice and clean. Simple but good breakfast and we got a free upgrade! Parking on site or nearby. Perfect for your stay in Reykjavik.

Seldom to leave a comment, but my stay was Superb at the Storm hotel! Firstly - The hotel is located right next to the major bus stop #12 where many tours pick up/drop off there, it’s such a convenient location. Secondly - Very clean, warm and spacious hotel room, with very helpful staff members. In fact, I left my item at the hotel after checking out and only realized it after a few days. I reached...

Stayed for 4 days this month. The rooms are spotless and beds so comfortable. Hotel staff are amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable. Nothing was to much trouble, and help us out with the best trip deals. Location is perfect with the 12 bus stop right outside the hotel. Less than a minute walk to the harbour and the high street. Highly recommend this hotel

Storm Hotel by Keahotels – 4/5 Stars A good and comfortable hotel that could easily be a 5-star stay with just a small improvement—adding a fridge in the room would make a big difference. The room was clean, the bed was good, and overall comfort was solid. The staff were very nice and helpful, and a big positive surprise was the breakfast, which was really good and better than expected. One small...

Decent but basic hotel. Okay location about 15/20 walk from everything you want. Rooms are basic but clean. No fridge in room or safe. Staff are nice, cleaning staff are great. Not enough room at breakfast for the amount of guests which was a struggle most mornings to find a table. Breakfast is okay just basic continental. Like a premier inn, just a basic hotel.

We really loved our stay at Hotel Storm in Reykjavik. The front desk staff was exceptional with great advice about where to go eat and things to do. They even told my 8-year-old all about the Christmas elves and Icelandic lore! They were so friendly and kind. I found the room to be reasonable, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was fab. We left for each day well fed and ready for the day. The hotel...

the place was perfect and clean also it was quite. The breakfast was tasty  I would come back again. 

Everything is perfect except breakfast. The staffs, everybody so pretty.

Booking two months in advance costs 487 yuan more than booking last minute, so don't book too early. There are plenty of rooms available, so you don't have to worry about not having a place to stay.

We stayed at this hotel the first night on our Iceland trip. An easy drive from the airport and in a great location. The rooms were really nice and an excellent shower. Dinner in the restaurant was exceptional and service was great. A good selection of different options for breakfast also. We were even treated to the northern light which I was able to see from my bedroom window!

A great place to stay the night after the glacier tours. A very modern hotel that feels like a fortress. Directly across the street from the geysir. Rooms are sizable and the restaurant is good. Northern lights were visible from the front door.

⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ Superior outside shell — economy inside. We arrived at the Geysir Hotel and first impressions were excellent. From the outside the property looks stunning, and the lobby and public areas are beautifully designed and feel very high-end. We were kindly upgraded to a Deluxe Room, which offered a very generous size. However, this is where the experience became mixed. The bathroom is large but...

A great hotel environment. I've taken an excellent breakfast and the incredible sight of the Northern Lights. My aim is to create a personal review, focusing on the visit. I'm prioritizing descriptions of the location and the overall atmosphere to provide a comprehensive sense of place. Staying at Hotel Geysir was an unforgettable immersion into the raw beauty of Iceland. Located directly across from...

This was the best hotel We stayed at. Newer modern tasteful finish in a pretty little town. Generally quiet. We did hear the odd bit of road traffic. Our room was on the street side. Very close walk to food places. One block to dark area for viewing northern lights. Sign up at the desk for wakeup call if northern lights active. Great place to stay. Breakfast was full and also the best we had on our...

The rooms were clean and the location was nice, but the rooms were a little dated looking. For the price I wasn’t too impressed with the quality of the rooms, and I thought breakfast was lackluster. Comparable to a low end hotel breakfast in the USA. Though there weren’t any big issues with the hotel, I probably would not stay there or recommend it.

This was my favorite hotel that we stayed in on out Icelnad ring road trip. So good that we started and finished here. The check in was great. The Hotel staff were polite and accommodating. The breakfast is killer here. The buffet alone for breakfast is worth staying. The rooms were clean and quiet. You are downtown Selfoss, so many food and drink option within walking distance. Ill be staying here...

A good & nice hotel in town. Great location. Just beside the river, with great view. Near to restaurants and major attractions. Highly recommended.

Clean and nicely located hotel. Convenient to move to next travel destination and sightseeing places. Overall satisfied.

A bit old. Toilet was spacious. Nice breakfast. A food hall opposite to hotel. The food was great.
