3 star hotels in Iceland

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

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.

A really clean, warm and quiet room with a large TV, fridge, safe, a kettle & decent quality tea & coffee. The bathroom is fine, and the shower flow rate is good. Breakfast is amazing and worth it 👏 & happy hour is also worth taking advantage of. The location is on the outskirts of the very busiest part of downtown Reykjavik, but still central and a stones throw from the ocean walkway. Down points...

Great hotel, the staff super friendly and service is amazing. Just a little nitpick is the placement of the TV position is a little odd. But the room is super spacious and with a little balcony that faces the seaside which makes winter night viewing in Iceland just on another level entierly.

The accommodation seemed old, but it was in good condition. The only downside was that the bathroom didn't drain properly. It's fine for a short overnight stay.

The shower was so tiny; the shower head is not adjustable so my hair got wet every time I got in the shower, the shower curtain clung to my body, and the water got all over the bathroom floor. The blow dryer worked for 60 seconds and then needed to charge for a full minute before using it again. The two single beds pushed together were not comfortable - I could feel the springs; however the pillows...

Near the beach. Caught northern lights just outside hotel opposite the road. Freezing cold, windy but worth all the effort when northern lights appears .

I stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and it was my second time here, which really says it all. Once again, everything was excellent from start to finish. The room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is ideal, making it easy to get around and enjoy the area. Having stayed here before, I knew what to expect...

This hotel is a fine stop for a one-night stop for travel across the south coast. Because it is a larger hotel, indeed there are tour buses overnighting here, but that didn’t cause any discomfort for us. The room was spacious and clean and beds were comfortable. It was nice to have breakfast included, which you don’t always find in Iceland. The view from the front-facing rooms is beautiful.

I came with school. The staff are super friendly and I would definitely come here again. It was a super awesome stay. In a super awesome location with super awesome people. I love the vibe of this place. Its very unique.

Lots of power outlets for your devices, including a couple USB. Spacious room and bathroom. Note: we stayed in the newly-built building - older rooms could be different. Breakfast and dinner buffet, decent. If you have a walking issue, try to get a room close to the dining hall. There are elevators, but it still took us about 7 minutes walk over to dinner. Fortunately you can do that completely through...

The hotel itself is similar to a Days Inn in America. For the most part it's very basic with few amenities. The beds were very comfortable and the mattresses did look new. Dinner was good with several side options and the salmon was amazing. Breakfast had some great tasting fresh fruit. The big positive about this location is it's a perfect stop over on the way from glacier lagoon back to the west...

The services are good, but facilities are old. Good location to have a view.

The services are good, but facilities are old. Good location to have a view.

The rooms are modest, the bathroom is nice and clean and has a modern rainfall shower. The receptionists are really friendly and helpful! We were a bit early for check in but they helped us register and let us park the car in the hotels parking lot.

4* in location because it's easier to drive to downtown than walk, less than 10 minutes.... parking close to the church is cheap enough. Lovely staff, the room is excellent, enough space for three of us. We enjoy the breakfast, good variety but it's the same thing everyday, but that's no problem for us.

Nice clean, modern hotel about 20 minutes walk from the attractions of Reykjavik. There are some nice restaurants close by especially Olifa pizza restaurant, there's a Netto supermarket a couple of minutes walk away. Decent breakfast and nice friendly staff. A special mention to receptionist Elana who went out of her way to help us when we missed our excursion transfer, managing to get us on a later...

Seems like a new hotel. Reception on first floor (one floor up from street entry). 24 hr reception, friendly staff (advise them on check in if you want daily room service. 7 floors of accommodation. Rooms smallish but warm, beds comfy. Breakfast was wonderful, if you go when it opens at 7am pastries are still warm. Small selection of books to read and games to play. It is a couple of km to town...

Customer service and support is excellent, especially the booking and assistance of Flybus departures.

This was a lovely hotel to stay in. From the management to the kitchen staff- all lovely people, very warm and welcoming. The room we stayed in was bright, spacious (for 2), and very clean. There was a large wardrobe, tea/coffee making station, a flatscreen TV and a good sized bathroom with walk in shower. The double bed was very comfortable (compared to some hotels!!). There was no noise concerns...

rooms and bathroom are small but comfortable. If lucky you can see the Northern light from the room. Great breakfast!

Breakfast was delicious! If you're too lazy to go into town in the evening, the hotel's paid buffet is also quite good. Both the taste and value for money are excellent! I even saw the Northern Lights when I went down for breakfast in the morning!

Very nice, cozy, and good breakfast buffet! 10/10 RECOMMEND!

My amazing stay as I saw northern lights directly from the room's winsows

Decent place overall. Hotel was located alongside the main road and easily accessible. Check in process was relatively smooth. Room was visibly clean, beds were comfortable and blackout curtains and radiator were effective. Breakfast was slightly disappointing as it was mostly a cold continental one with no hot food options. The appearance of a rainbow in the morning added a nice touch to the stay

Extreme tiny room and bathroom, no view, difficult to move around and even to put the suitcase. Bedding is uncomfortable and bad pillows.

Room lighting was nice, felt very lively, the hot tub was great to

It was very decent and clean for the common areas and facilities, the hot tub were great

Staff was friendly. i paid for the breakfast - got a bag of food including a drink, a bread, an apple, a small box of granola and jam, and a yogurt and a free access to coffee machine - nothing fancy but good enough to feel full and energised. i was pleased to be able to choose the room type (upper beds or lower beds). i particularly enjoyed using the kitchen and the common area as the design was...

Staff were friendly and location is just right in the middle of the city centre. However, there is only one microwave, one kettle and one fridge shared among all people so there might be some waiting time when making food. There is also no stove for cooking, so you can only microwave stuff to eat.

Great value for money! The room has a nice ambiance with adjustable lighting, and the bathroom is spacious enough. Plus, the front desk is open 24/7, and the location is super convenient.

The location of the hotel is very good, and there are hot springs. The public area is clean and cosy.

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.

My favorite hotel in Iceland. The room price can be high in certain days. But for most of time it's in reasonable price. It is he perfect place to see northern light as it sits in the middle of nowhere. That is being said, the restaurant in the hotel might be the only option you have. The breakfast here is also good, but I believe they charge extra on that. Staffs here are friendly and the environment...

Because of a sudden winter storm I had to take a detour here and spend two nights instead of in my camper car. First I was surprised how affordable the rooms were. And then how comfortable, clean and spacious they were. I enjoyed my stay a lot and the staff was very nice and helpfull. The breakfast was filling and delicious. There was everything one would hope. Dinner at the hotels restaurant was...

Fosshotel Nupar is a stunning premium property that perfectly blends modern design with the rugged Icelandic landscape. The rooms are impressively spacious—especially by local standards—and feature private patios that offer a front-row seat to the surrounding scenery. The dining experience was equally exceptional. Every dish at the restaurant was thoughtfully prepared and flavorful, but the desserts...

Perfect location, where you can see the aurora all around the mountains. The room temperature is perfect and you can adjust it besides the window . They have a perfect balcony, which you can go straight outside and put your tripod on the grass and take pictures freely. There is no light influence at night so I can directly see the dark sky

Beautiful, big, clean. Location was also quiet. Breakfast was really good. Restaurant for dinner is also really delicious. Staff was very friendly. They did something really nice for our honeymoon.

I was a bit skeptical stopping at this hotel in the middle of nowhere on a gravel road, but this hotel was wonderful!! Food was very tasty, staff were very welcoming and friendly, and rooms were spacious and clean. Each room has a deck for aurora viewing (which we saw both nights). Probably one of my favorite places we stayed.

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. 

Very expensive in the restaurant. Food was okay but we were charged £60 more than expected, so bread and water must not be free here. Make sure to check your bill. That was our mistake. Great views of the northern lights 👌

One of the best hotel in iceland. Though room is not as new but clean. Got to see northern night outside hotel

Great location on a hill, so you have the perfect view for the northernlights. Nice spaceous room and bathroom, comfortable bed, very clean. Friendly staff. Northernlights were visible from the hotelroomwindow which was great. Food in their restaurant is (as everywhere in Iceland) expensive but very delicious. They have happy hour at the bar with also a nice view. Would go back there without hesitation

I’m rating this as the best hotel we stayed at in Iceland during our 12-day trip (and just to note — we weren’t on a five-star journey!). The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, with all the necessities provided. The breakfast was great too, with plenty of variety to choose from. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the exceptional service — especially the Aurora...

Beautiful hotel located near Myvatn. The staff was really friendly and helpful. We signed in for a aurora wake up knock and because of that we saw a few aurora. Good breakfast and dinner. We had a lake view room and it was beautiful to wake up with the sunrise and the lake in sight.

All amenities are clean and tidy. Heartwarming services like knocking door while northern lights appear, booking a lovely dinner. It's high possibility to witness aurora with good weather conditions as no light pollution here. However there are still kinda pity that no fridge inside the room. It's probably not really required because there's also hard to find supermarkets nearby, neither the laundry...

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.

This is a self-service hotel, so there's no front desk. However, the facilities are brand new, and the room isn't small. It even has its own parking garage, which makes for a very comfortable stay. The location isn't in the city center, but it's not far either – about a seven or eight-minute drive. Getting around is super convenient, as there's a bus stop right downstairs. Definitely recommended.

This is a self-check-in hotel. The breakfast is simple but filling, and the environment is quite nice. There's a parking lot, but you need a code to enter.

The breakfast was very impressive!

The room was clean and cozy, and there's a supermarket conveniently located near the hotel. The indoor parking was a huge plus, making parking very easy. The breakfast had a great variety, and the hotel staff were very friendly.

Location a slightly away from city centre however it’s convenient with car. Car park is available at basement with limited space. Breakfast was ok overall. The waffle and jam is delicious. Self check in but we didn’t encounter any issue during our late check in around 10pm.

Self service in everything , good location and worth it for the price you paid .

Great. Gym and billiard room are great. Breakfast is very various.

was wonderful although we didnt get to see the northern lights

Amazing , recommended! I could see aurora even it s cloudy day!

There’s aurora wake up call service Room is modern and comfortable

Nice, modern, clean hotel with excellent cuisine amidst an amazing landscape. We had a wonderful time there. especially the staff were all so helpful and friendly, and went above and beyond to make the stay a good one, as well for our little son who had a lot of fun. thank you and chócala to Tomas :)

I can not say enough about this Hotel! The location is perfect if want to see the Northern Lights. The staff at Landhotel are amazing. Adel helped us map out all the must see places and then told us about ones only the locals know about. The food at Tindur was delicious. Erik’s recommendations were on point every time. Can’t wait to come back!

Really nice hotel, the sauna was perfect and the room cozy and clean.

The staff called us at night to tell us there’s a vivid display of Northern Lights outside! Very appreciative of that notice. Rooms are modern and clean.

My stay at the hotel was outstanding from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always happy to help. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything was very well organized. It’s clear that great care is taken to provide high-quality service. I left feeling very satisfied and would happily recommend this hotel to others, I would definitely stay here again.

The decor, facilities, and towels were rather old, but the room was fairly large and the breakfast was quite plentiful. After checking in, while I was taking a shower, the receptionist knocked loudly on the door. Thinking it was an emergency, I quickly came out of the bathroom to open it. While saying that cooking wasn't allowed in the hotel rooms, she rudely peeked inside to make sure we hadn't cooked...

We had a great stay in the hotel. Rooms are good size, comfortable for 1 night. We’ve got upgrade to room with the golf course view. Thanks 🙏🏻 Super tasty dinner, price of course like everywhere in Iceland 😉 Breakfast not big, but good enough And we’ve seen Aurora just above hotel. Absolutely amazing experience. By the way they can wake you up for watching

This hotel serves as a base for exploring the West Coast, offering travelers a warm welcome from the relentless Icelandic winds. The free use of the heated outdoor bath was fantastic. I would definitely return.

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.

Great find! The hotel is clean, modern, and feels very fresh. I’d definitely stay here again on my next visit.

Hotel Loa, opening in 2025, is absolutely the perfect stopover for a Ring Road self-drive trip on Iceland's South Coast. The hotel is conveniently located right off Route 1 in the town of Hvolsvöllur, making self-driving and parking a breeze with free, easily accessible parking. Major South Coast attractions like Seljalandsfoss waterfall and Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach are all within an hour's drive...

Nice rooms with great view, breakfast service was underwhelming.

Nice and clean hotel. I recommend getting a room on the back side for a lovely farm view.

The newest hotel on our Iceland adventure, it opened in July 2025. You walk in and can smell how new it is... very modern facilities, spacious rooms, a comfortable bed, Smart TV, and a very complete breakfast. I highly recommend it!

The most underrated hotel in that area. It is modern and newly opened. We were able to see northern lights from our window

Slept here the first night after arriving. Location between the airport and Reykjavik is great. Although the hotel is situated on a kind of business area, there are restaurants and bars nearby within a 5 min. drive.

The hotel view is perfect. I will say this is a good place for viewing northern light!

Perfect location with loads of free parking space

Perfect hotel between Reykjavik town and airport Room is nice,clean and big Breakfast very good with a delicious bread It's really a good deal

Great location between the airport and Reykjavik, very convenient at that level to easily manage travel time between both places. The self check-in experience, even outside of regular hours, was perfect, and contacting the staff via message to schedule everything was very simple and efficient. Spacious and very clean rooms, it's a shame about the poor soundproofing between rooms, which would have made...

Well built and decorated. Very clean, the rooms are warm and comfortable. The one thing I don't like is the breakfast, which is completely cold and quite low end in comparison.

The best hotel I booked this trip - charming and beautiful

Very cute design hotel with a cozy atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and lovely details throughout the property. I especially loved the lounge and game room area — I ended up spending almost three hours working on a puzzle there and hope someone finishes it after me! The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. I didn’t try the hot tub though, as it is located in the middle of the hotel and felt...

Good stay overall with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant on Level 1 was also a great bonus—convenient and enjoyable.

Can see Aurora outside right outside the hotel, it’s quite clean but only the shower water will become cold for seconds

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice. Great sleep.

Generally a very basic but clean hotel! Location was great, in the middle of the town near petrol kiosks and attractions
