3 star hotels in Iceland

The room was clean and comfortable, perfect for two people. The breakfast was good and hotel staff was friendly and welcoming. I would recommend if you plan on renting a car. It is not as convenient when you depend on the public bus and excursion pickups for transportation.

Our original room experienced a pluming issue on the 1st morning. We were moved straight away no problem. Staff on reception primarily Anna were amazing and extremely helpful, and really help us to enjoy our stay in iceland. Breakfast was a simple buffet style but for the price was ample. Would definitely come back and stay again

Lovely little hotel in a great location. Very kindly gave us a lovely upgrade too as we were there to celebrate my 30th!Thank you! Beds are really comfy too. 5 minute walk from several takeaway places & restaurants and a local shop. Easy pickups for Reykjavik Sightseeing day tours too. No restaurant at the hotel but they do a tasty buffet breakfast and have a bar.

We stayed in room 237 and the bathroom smelled like mildew / mold. I think it was coming from the sink. It made the whole room smell. I don’t think it’s healthy to breath in. We had to keep the bathroom door closed so it didn’t stink up the room. The room didn’t come with a hairdryer which is a necessity in Iceland. It’s cold out and wet hair isn’t ideal for cold weather. The free breakfast was good...

Friendly staff were so good to me. I arrived looking like a train wreck after a 9 hour flight and a few hours at the Blue Lagoon still way earlier than my check-in time (like 4 hours early) and the girl at the desk just wanted to help, no attempt to charge an extra day, nothing like that, she let me in my awesome room, asked if I needed anything and let me be. Thank you so much! You made my trip to...

We were given a very tiny room. Just enough space for a 2 person bed, a desk, a small closet - nothing more. I read a review where a guest said they couldn't open up their suitcase because there was no space. I could see that. Luckily we only had backpacks or we would've had the same problem. The room was reasonably clean. Walls are a bit thin. The opening and shutting of doors were very audible from...

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.

This place is beautiful. Check out the hot tub next the ocean!!! The town is extremely cute. The house is wonderful, the old couple who run it were very nice and helpful, they obviously care a lot about the place. It was a lovely place to visit!!

Nice host. Hot shower. Good view.

This place is beautiful. Check out the hot tub next the ocean!!! The town is extremely cute. The house is wonderful, the old couple who run it were very nice and helpful, they obviously care a lot about the place. It was a lovely place to visit!!

Guesthouse located on the hillside above small harbour. Room had great views over the sea and mountains beyond. A short walk to Eyri the excellent local restaurant. We were diving from Styran dive centre on the unique geothermal chimney close by.

Nice amenities and very confortable room!!

Lovely hosts, felt at home! Stayed with 2 young children and was welcomed very well! I’d love to go back!

The restaurant is delicious, the service is great, and there is a hot spring spa. It has a very strong pastoral feel and is very quiet at night. The room is old

Visited in July. Spent 2 nights. Lovely stay. Basically situated in the middle of nowhere. Just you and the glacier, can you imagine? Would love to come back in winter to have a chat with northern lights. Would stay in Fosshotel again if I were to return. Spacious room. Comfy beds. Toilet and shower were separated. Simple yet delightful breakfast. Given complimentary drinks too during happy hours...

Wow, this is what I can say about this hotel😍 amazing place, a wonderful location in the middle of almost nowhere, beautiful surrounding, I can stay here forever. The room was so nice and simple, the dining area has a very beautiful view, the food was very good, and very nice staff. I would come back and stay in this place if I ever visit Iceland again.

The most beautiful hotel of our entire trip. But above all, I highly recommend trying the wonderful food at this hotel. We had the opportunity to taste lamb and baked cheese with vegetables that are typical of Iceland — absolutely delicious. Later, we found out that the chef at this hotel is a Polish woman who has been cooking there for years. The food was amazing 😍. The breakfasts were very filling...

The reception staff were very helpful and friendly, which made check-in smooth and welcoming. After a long day of driving, it was such a relief to lie down in the extremely comfortable beds, they were just what I needed. The bartender was also very friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, a great stay!

Room facilities are complete and breakfast is average

We stayed here for one night at the beginning of the year as our final stop near the airport. The hotel is conveniently located close to Keflavík Airport, about a 5,000 ISK taxi ride away. It’s a bit far from the town center, but there is a large supermarket within a 30-minute walk. The price felt reasonable for what was offered. The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. The shower room...

We booked this place for its convenience to the airport the next day. We arrived late, and there was no one at the front desk. We received an email with a password, and that's how we got into the room. The room was quite spacious. There's parking available nearby. The facilities are just average, though. The view outside is pretty nice.

The location was a bit hard to find because the entrance was so small; I almost thought I had the wrong place, which might have been due to it being nighttime. The sink was right next to the bed, which was inconvenient. The room was also very narrow. Neighbors were having a party late into the night, so I didn't sleep at all. There was no one on duty, and it was self-service, so I didn't feel comfortable...

This hotel is close-ish to the airport and overlooks the harbour. It’s a self service hotel (so check with them early for the details of getting into your room). A lovely server in the restaurant was able to help us when I didn’t get the email with the check in information. The room was clean & beds comfy. The long shower curtain helps to prevent the shower water from flying all over the room but...

This was our last night's stay in Iceland. It was an easy check in with a code access. No staff were there upon our arrival. You have to remember to open the window of the room as it was a bit warm, even in the morning. Most places we found were like this in Iceland. A fan would have been helpful to regulate the temperature. The room had a nice counter with tea and coffee options. There was also a...

Verry nice Hotel,I like evering!

The location of this cottage is absolutely impressive. It's all new and fully equipped. We had a great experience. It s much better than its shown in the pics. I do recommend it !

Small beds in the log cabin. The lock to the Cabin did not close properly. For the price they there has to be better service and communication for the customers.

We loved our time here and we were a little sad to leave to go on other adventures! This is the perfect place to sit and read a book and watch the world go by. There's a nice kitchenette, very comfy beds, and a cozy interior. I would definitely stay here again if given the chance.

locatie was mooi, de rust en de openheid van het landschap was erg fijn.

Very special location at a horsefarm, quiet environment with a view at the volcano Hekla. And we have a new friend in Iceland: the dog Kautur 😘

This was a wonderful place to stay! The owner was exceptional in taking care of our needs! It felt like we were staying with family—it was quiet—the bed could have been a little more comfortable—and it would be nice to have a place for suitcases—I would come back and highly recommend it!

Good location near a couple of restaurants. Free hotel parking and great breakfast. Our room was a family room which was really big and had a large sofa.

We stayed here for one night as part of our tour with Trolls. The room was spacious with a comfy bed and all the toiletries. Loved the shower!! Breakfast was also very nice 👍 would recommend to anyone who’d like to stay here for short term.

The hotel is located in the center of the town. Very easy access to the hotel. Nearby there is a grocery store and the fantastic Valhalla restaurant. The hotel rooms are clean and tidy. Guests have at their disposal HotTube and a restaurant. Staff very friendly and helps with everything. I recommend.

Eco friendly hotel. But great place if you want to see the Northern lights. We had gone out looking for them, and on our return, was surprised to see them above the hotel.

Only stayed for one night but had a great experience. The hotel staff were always super friendly. There is a restaurant and bar at the hotel along with a hot tub. There are also a few restaurants/shop only a 5 minute walk away.

We stayed in a triple room which was big though shows it’s aging and required some improvement. The breakfast was great with variety of selections. Loved their different flavors of yogurt. The location of this hotel is great. It’s close to route 1. Nearby there is a Lava Center which is well worth a visit.

Clean, comfortable stay. Drive to the location can be tricky at night, woul

basic place for a one night stay

The cabin is well constructed and very clean. Spacious room with kitchen and a living room. Private bathroom, shower works great without any clogging. Comfortable but a little small beds. The bedding is of high quality cotton.

Comfy Cottage Its a nice cottage with a beautiful view.

I loved the cozy cottage, cooking there with sun going in through the window was very fun.

We stayed here as it was the perfect stop as we drove the Ring Road. The little cabin was cute, but we had limited hot water...

Enjoyed the hotel and the breakfast was great. Somewhat lacking basic things like a microwave and fridge but comfy enough with a nice hiking spot across the road

Great service, especially from Lucas! He helped us with navigating the hot tub and sauna, and was very kind. The free breakfast was a huge plus too. The rooms were nice and spacious, but the blankets did have a few questionable stains.

Great hotel, has everything that’s needed, great hospitality, facilities, staff, breakfast. Everything was just on point.

The room was spacious and clean, with excellent hygiene. The view from the window was beautiful, offering sights of the sunrise and numerous small volcanic craters. Check-in and parking were convenient. The front desk even asked if we'd like to be notified about the Northern Lights, which was a very thoughtful touch. That evening, I managed to capture many photos of the aurora. We heard there's a free...

Best hotel we've been to in Iceland with very helpful staff who even wake you up at night if Northern lights are showing... only hotel so far with this service. Their home-brewed beer is also excellent. Would love to come again!

Nice hotel in a good position. Very good buffet dinner, average breakfast. Nice and comfortable room with a view. Unacceptable bathroon with large shower but unusable tiny basin where you cannot fill a small bottle, nor wash your face. Kind and friendly personnel.

This Hotel provided us with a fantastic stay. It is clean, the staff are very attentive but not overbearing. Our room was very clean, but there were a couple of small drawbacks. There was a small desk, but no wardrobe for clothes. It would have served better to do away with the desk and provide somewhere to unpack our cases and hang clothes. My wife and I lived out of our suitcases for the duration...

The hotel is in a good location and they got their own diner. One of the staff(the cat) is rude and do not respond to me. However all of other staffs are so nice! The breakfast is good. Attached with the photos of the rude staff.

The room was a bit old and had a hospital-like feel, but the location is fantastic: right by the sea with beautiful views. The staff were extremely helpful, and the restaurant exceeded all expectations.

The rooms are located in separate buildings outside of the reception area, much like a villa-style business hotel. However, there are no elevators, only stairs, so you'll need to carry your luggage yourself.

Friendly and courteous service, well-stocked breakfast, local beer (from Höfn craft brewery), and the staff speaks 4 to 5 languages.

The room is very small. The facility is quite old as well. But the breakfast is good!

Hotel Jökul was unfortunately a bit of a disappointment. We arrived late at night in the rain and darkness, which made it a bit difficult to find the reception and there was little indication that there was a hotel there. After a while we saw a sign pointing the way to the reception and that was nice. But when we dragged our luggage up the stairs and into there, we were given a room in another building...

No-frills hotel a short drive from Höfn. Rooms look a bit dated but are functional and will give you a good night's rest. Breakfast is a simple affair with no hot food on the menu. Walls are thin and we could hear our neighbours a bit too well.

Advertised as hotel with free breakfast the announced that our reservation didn't include it and that we would need to buy it at $24 each. We made a reservation on Hotels.com where was not option even on breakfast to be included or not. Somehow hotel decided not to?! There is no elevator, beware you have a heavy luggage! Rooms are ok, spacious, but there are no fridge, no shelves and no room to place...

The family room that we had was very spacious. Due to the location of the hotel it is very quiet. Our beds were comfortable -- just right hardness. We missed a reading light near the bed. Dinner in the hotel restaurant a la carte was excellent. The breakfast buffet was very good.

Clean and well appointed rooms, with bare bones breakfast.

Self-service check-in, you will receive the check-in code in advance, very convenient, very close to the snow mountain, it is a ski hotel

One of the best experiences on a trip. Beyond how breathtaking the country is, I had an amazing stay. All the hotel amenities were incredible, and we enjoyed food that we never expected to be so delicious. I especially want to highlight the service, Jorge, in particular, gave us great recommendations both within the hotel and about Iceland in general. He is a wonderful person, very kind, and the treatment...

We went to eat at the Green House Hotel food hall, which offers a wide variety of cuisines to suit all tastes. Afterwards, we stopped by their shops, where we were welcomed by Jorge, who also works at the hotel reception. He was extremely kind and helpful, providing excellent service and giving us great advice on the best activities in the surrounding area.

Great hotel in a really convenient location. Check in was smooth and efficient. Room was very spacious but lacking storage space, the bathroom could have also done with a full enclosure rather than the wet room style. The bathroom bin was not emptied from the previous guests. However, these are all very minor gripes in what was otherwise a perfect stay. The restaurant and bar on the ground floor was...

The Greenhouse Hotel is fantastic! We stayed there with our 10 guests for our wedding in Iceland and everything about this hotel was perfect. The suite was an excellent room to use as a bridal suite. It had a large living room for my wife to get ready and the suite balcony was perfect for us to exchange our vows and for photos. All of our guests loved the hotel and their rooms. All of the staff were...

Stayed here with my family during our Iceland vacation and we absolutely loved this stylish spot! We shared a family room and quarters were tight, but the beds were amazingly comfortable, the heated bathroom floors were a game changer and the decor was perfect. The food hall was a great place to end our first day and we loved the eclectic offerings. The shop had some great finds as well and we enjoyed...

Wonderful hotel! Fantastic location. It is a perfect place to stay for easy access to many of the waterfalls, glaciers, hot springs, geysers & black sand beaches. The rooms were well appointed & the beds are beyond comfortable. The Staff were welcoming, professional, helpful, knowledgable & friendly. The interior decoration is creative, stylish, & warm. The attention to detail is evident everywhere...

Very convenient - a short, flat walk from the airport. Front desk staffed 24 hrs. Rooms large, clean with great shower. Breakfast included. Staff very helpful and professional. So much better than spending 10 hrs in the airport. Slept and well rested for next flight. Made all the difference to traveling!

We stayed one night at this hotel in a family apartment.It had 2 double beds and one twin which fit 5 of us perfectly.This is almost like a hostel the check in information was emailed a day before the which was convenient.Can’t comment on staff since we did not interact with anyone.Overall it’s an alright place to stay close to the airport.

I stayed here two nights prior to my flight to Spain. The hotel is very nice with very easy access to the Terminal building. The breakfast was very good and offering a variety of items to suit most tastes. My only criticism is the dinner menu is extremely pricy and limited. Overall a great stay clean and comfortable hotel which I would really recommend.

Fine accommodation warm showers and comfy beds

Nice clean hotel, only calked to collect our hire car from Mycar, service excellent.

It’s an airport based hotel so no didn’t expect any frills especially for the price we paid. That said the room was very spacious, bed was clean and comfortable. We didn’t have time for breakfast but was buffet style and seemed fine. Staff were welcoming and helpful. A very good place to stay if you need to catch and early morning flight!

It was a good one night stay for our journey North on our clockwise Route 1 journey. We did a late check-in close to 10pm and found the keys and a map (which could have been clearer) to find our room. We rented an amazing spacious 2 bedroom apartment at a reasonable price.

Easily one of the coolest hostels I've stayed at. For starters, you can have your own room without bunks like a regular hotel. Showers and bathrooms were well kept. The location was epic and staying in a former school was super unique. Definitely will be back!

Camped for a day there, absolutely stunning place middle of mountains. Hot tub, toilets, showers everything was fantastic. Staff are super friendly, Raymond is fun to talk to, great service. Thanks guys!

We went from the Myvatn area to Straw Hat Mountain. We gave up the whale watching trip to Husavik, but the distance to Straw Hat Mountain was a bit long, so we chose this hotel as a transfer. It has a kitchen for cooking, a swimming pool and hot springs, and you can also barbecue!

It used to be a school. Fortunately, it was the only hotel/tourist accommodation on my trip to Iceland that had a human being at the reception desk. The room is modest and simple but has all the basics. Comfortable mattress and pillows. It was cleaner than the other (higher-end) hotels I stayed at. The bathroom is huge and the shower is incredibly spacious. I loved the bathroom. Clean shower with no...

Nice guesthouse if you are in the area - it is a disused school, so there is plenty of space

Very cozy and welcoming palce. Is it not a luxury hotel, but you can enjoy and warm and welcoming room, great breakfast and very nice personnel. Would recommend

We spent our night in this hotel. A little bit dated but extremely clean, very nice staff. Breakfast was good with good variety of choices. Night call for the Aurora available.

A little expensive but there are not much choices there if you want to glacial hike and not drive too much early in the morning. Cheaper food options opposite which is also owned by them. The car park is too bright for the northern lights. They have northern light calls technically but I doubt they call.

This hotel is in a great location but otherwise is very basic. It has no soundproofing at all and you can easily hear everything people do in the rooms next to you or in the hallway. It does have the benefit of radiator heating, which you can turn off, so it doesn't get as uncomfortably warm as other hotels in Iceland. Our shower drain was clogged, which caused the whole bathroom floor to flood (the...

I rarely review hotels, whether for business or leisure, it's usually just a quick one-night stay. But this stay was exceptionally meaningful for me. This was the third hotel I stayed at during my Iceland tour during the National Day holiday. On the night of my arrival, around 9 pm, I witnessed my first-ever aurora borealis display—it was incredibly exciting!!! The hotel area is very open; you can...

I loved staying here! The staff was kind and helpful. The room was cozy with a cool view of the glacier. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. The food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. Just be aware that dinner is expensive. I had chicken legs and my friend had arctic char and we both had dessert. Our meal together was close to $200 USD.

Last minute booking near KEF. No frills, spartan accommodations with spacious rooms. Has a feel of a hostel but you've got your own bath. Restaurants within 800 meters. Will do the job if you have to be close to the airport.

Very spacious room. Great for a night before the airport. There was no hair dryer.

convenient location and good service, the room was clean but nothing fancy. There is no restaurant but there is one in the hotel next door. A little more expensive than expected

Strategically located near to International Airport and various car rental companies. Hassle free check-in and check-out procedure

the hotel is convenient if you need to stay close to the airport.

close to airport but no lift. If you are allocated to 3rd flr, hope your luggage is not too heavy to carry all the way up :p

Extremely comfortable and amazing view to the town and volcano.

Restaurant was the best in town. Great menu selections with signature cocktails.

The nicest hotel we stayed at in Iceland, and the best toilet paper! Parking lot right across the street (free over the whole island) and centrally located easy to walk to everything in town. Breakfast was also the best we had out of all the hotels we stayed at. Lovely! Would easily come back.

We took a ferry to Westin Island and saw the loneliest houses. The hotel breakfast was great, they even baked pancakes 🧇, and the rooms were clean and tidy. Definitely worth it!

Awesome stay! People are so friendly and very helpful! Even set a crib up for us!

A fantastic 2-night stay for my wife and I. Very clean rooms with a satisfying shower. Fantastic views of the weather is good too. A tremendous value when factoring in their included delicious breakfast buffet. Highly recommended

Nice hotel in an ideal location in downtown close to the shops in Laugavegur and bus stops. Reception was friendly and were helpful to answering any questions or requests we had during our stay. Rooms were small and basic but good if you're just using it as a place to rest during the night. Be aware that the rooms are not very soundproofed and that you may hear noise from the bar located across the...

Fantastic hotel in a great location, fantastically placed for the bus stops, the shopping in town or the nearby supermarket. Farooq was a great host, incredibly friendly and fantastically knowledgeable on all things Iceland even though he hails from West Yorkshire. We stayed in room 505 so was a bit away from any street noise, highly recommend and would definitely stay again

Second visit to this hotel. It maybe not the fanciest of hotels or the biggest, but the staff, location and cleanliness make this hotel fantastic. Front desk,Rushka and Farooq (who asked me to say he was the handsome guy) are first class. Nothing is too much trouble. Night staff and housekeeping are also great. This hotel does not have a bar but there are plenty nearby, so this for me is not a negative...

The hotel has a good location in the city center. The front desk service was excellent; a Pakistani man there even gave us a map showing us places to visit. The room was very nice and spacious, but the kettle leaked.

The location is great. The front desk staff were very friendly and recommended nearby restaurants. The breakfast was not luxurious, but very delicious. We were able to check in earlier than expected.

Well located. Walls are thin and could be noisy at night.

Very friendly staff, good food and nice swimming pool, highly recommended. Good location and nice bike paths. Plenty to do outside include visit the old hot tub, in walking distance from the hotel. The breakfast has everything what you need for a good start.

Best keept secret. All in one. Food, Icelandic nature and peaceful place. Swimming pool, nature pool, historic places, restaurant and great rooms. Fyrsta flokks matur, Frábær þjónusta og rólegt andrúmsloft í sveitasælu.

I've visited last night for 1 night and everything was amazing! The hostess accepted us with a smile on her face and helped us with everything we asked. We booked triple room, the room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very tasty! Go visit!

The place was very good and most importantly, the host was amazing and nice! Definitely recommend!

The place is great. We came for one night and the hostess was very kind!

Simple, comfortable. Breakfast and dinner were included 👍 The location is fairly out of the way, but also nice in its seclusion.

I stayed by chance having been booked here by icelandair for a flight disruption. In the unpleasant event of the snowstorm this place turned the situation in a very pleasant stay; though being simple, it is very much homey and welcoming. Plus the very kind and friendly receptionist did his very best to welcome, assist us, and providing an excellent solution for dinner. Takk fyrir!!

Very comfortable stay, near the Airport. The owner and his daughter are extremely friendly. Rooms are clean and quiet.

Clean, warm, and comfortable bed. The shower is deep/hard to get into and slippery. I recommend a no slip mat inside the shower for added safety.

Great airport hotel. Only complaint is that our glass doors on the shower wouldn't close no matter how hard we tried.

Appreciated the staff at this hotel, they were very happy to help with anything needed!

Only intended as an overnight stay to catch the early flight the following day. For this sufficient. Room surprisingly large, but very spartan furnished. Bathroom, shower and especially shower head are getting on in years. Conclusion: For one night ok, but and it was already the cheapest accommodation near the airport, way too expensive.
