3 star hotels in Iceland

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel. The atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful, providing a perfect escape from the city’s noise. The sauna and natural hot springs are standout features—expertly maintained and incredibly relaxing. Furthermore, the hotel’s convenient proximity to the city center made exploring very easy while allowing for a quiet retreat at the end of the day. Highly recommended for...

It's a nice place to stay. The kitchen facilities are great and the staff are friendly too..^^

You love auroras? this place will blow your mind. All the aurora photos you see are taken here. Rooms are beautiful, simple Scandinavian style. Clean, very comfortable. The beds are great. Bathroom is very clean. The staff id very nice and friendly. There is a jacuzzi outside so you can bath and see the aurora. Also a sauna is available. Plenty of parking. This place is great. Borgarnes is located...

The hotel is located on a plate Space you can’t see anything surround you even the small town. So you have to carry your own food here and you can cook by yourself. All around you is the dark sky for endless, and you can use the hot pot and the sunna room for a rest. They don’t offer breakfast, but they will offer you free coffee and milk and biscuits.

The best hotel experience I've ever had. I was just looking for a cheap place to rest my head during an on-campus school weekend and they blew me away. A beautiful view of the mountain on one side and a breathtaking view of the ocean on the other, nice rooms and comfortable beds, a jakuzzi that overlooks the sea and incredibly helpful staff, this place is amazing. Additionally, my disabilities decided...

I booked the wrong room initially, but the hotel changed it readily via email, and the service was excellent. They even have a shared hot tub and sauna! 👍 You can cook in the village house, but it's not as spacious as a guesthouse. The breakfast selection was very extensive!

The floor is warm, even though there are strong winds at night in the area, there is no one talking around. The sound of the wind is like natural white noise, and there are mini bar drinks, tea, and coffee included in the accommodation price. The service staff are very good, and the environment is very quiet except for natural factors. It is bright and clean, and the air is not cold at all

Everything was great about this place. The staff was very friendly and nice. The room was extremely clean with everything. The shower was wonderful with very hot water. The breakfast included was superb. And we got to see the Northern Lights.

The room was clean and tidy, with excellent soundproofing. The view from the window was beautiful, offering sunrise views. The breakfast was fantastic, plentiful and delicious, and parking was very convenient.

A nice American style motel with lovely room and good breakfast.

Staff is very helpful and we had a nice dinner. Love the homemade bread, really taste good! Feels at home.

A beautiful place. The restaurant has the best home made bread. The dinner food is good too. The staff is very friendly and helpful too.

Hotel itself is okay, owner was very nice but the price charged on site is different then the price on the order which needs CS to get it resolved and reimbursed

Perfect place, perfect cookies. Best place Iceland so far.

I’ve visited there twice in this year. I was satisfied with great view, cozy room especially lovely dogs. I highly recommend here for travellers.

This place is amazing! The view is beautiful, and the dogs are super cute. If you visit, don’t forget to play fetch with them! 🐶💛

I had a delightful experience at this retreat, surrounded by stunning scenery. The host was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond by offering a selection of delicious pastries and refreshing drinks.

Had such a great stay at the garage, super scenic spot. The room was just perfect and it was quite a treat to arrive to fresh baked banana bread and chocolate cake the day we arrived. The owner was very accommodating and there to answer any questions. My boys, ages 11 and 13 were able to explore the property up to the waterfall behind the home which was an extra special treat. Especially when her...

One of best hotel in Golden circle. The hotel have great location which is next to historical church and peaceful surroundings. It great for relaxing and aurora hunting.

Located in a beautiful area Friendly and helpful staff and cozy rooms

Absolutely charming and peaceful. Staff wonderful and accommodating. Borrowed phone chargers. Sitting area and got things open 24 hours

We could not been any happier with this hotel. It has matched our expectations. It has a beautiful setting and lovely staff. The grounds, especially the historic church, are well worth seeing. We enjoyed a dinner with local fish and lamb at the restaurant. The breakfast buffet included several options. We loved the beet juice served in small glasses.

Our stay was wonderful! The staff was very nice and accommodating. The place is clean and quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub with a nice view of the countryside and the dinner and breakfast were delicious.

Nice location next to a small church. Breakfast was one day worth "8", the other day only "6'. We had dinner in the hotel the first night, but there are better options around.

I'd rate it as 6 out of 5, if this was an option. This might have been overall best stay I have ever had, among hundreds of stays all across the world. 1. very friendly service. The person running the hotel was going out of her way to make us feel welcome. On the first day we were the only guests (mid February, so i guess low season) and we got such a nice breakfast spread. We were looked after, and...

I recently visited Möðrudalur á Fjöllum on a winter trip, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. During my stay, I walked approximately 35 km in the surrounding area near the hotel, exploring the vast highland landscape in truly ideal conditions. The weather was excellent, clear and calm, which made the winter hiking both safe and unforgettable. The scenery was powerful and serene at...

We had a very pleasant stay here. The check in was at the restaurant, the rooms were actually 2 minutes away by car. There was a fully equipped kitchen in the house, everything was clean. We also saw a reindeer and the northern lights from there.

This was our favorite place that we stayed during our 9 day Iceland trip. It was very unique, the staff was great. The room was clean and nice sized. It was fun to see the animals and buildings as we walked around outside. It is about 5 minutes off of the main road, but worth the drive. Dinner and breakfast at the restaurant were both delicious.

On our ring road adventure last week we decided to take a detour to rest at this spot. We were not disappointed. Friendly staff. Perfectly great accommodation. We were self sufficient with power and food so we only used WC (bathroom) and sleeping. However the unique cooking facilities would have been fun in my opinion! The shower spaces and toilets were clean and plentiful. The goats are friendly and...

Place is clean and decent. For me and my husband, the bed was too soft and the pillows also too thin. Breakfast was basic but that's on.

The hotel has a contactless check-in system, no front desk, and the door is opened with a password, which is simple, fast, and efficient. Breakfast is a buffet breakfast, and you have to clean up the dishes yourself after eating. The room is clean, sanitary, and comfortable, nice 👍

Blind selection is similar to a hotel in China, with nice surrounding scenery.

Room was spacious and clean. There were some muffins when we arrived. Tv not working, WiFi was slow. Breakfast was ok.

Great hotel. The front desk is very friendly.

This hotel will make you feel more comfortable. The interior decoration is more cozy. It is a good place to wander around the hotel.

Everything was good except the room size was too small for 2 persons.

After a long day of driving along the "big loop" , this was actually a nice spot to stop. Rooms were very small, as stated in other reviews. But comfy. Bathroom was clean and did the job with the shower that was fairly large. Good breakfast with basic offerings. Did not eat at the restaurant as it was a bit $$$ for the location.

Hotel Blonduos was a pleasant surprise. Hotel staff were attentive and happy to chat and assist. The apartment we stayed in was fabulous, and would be excellent for a few to several days. The location is quiet, which for us was excellent. If you’re staying in Blonduos, it’s clearly not for the nightlife as it’s a small coastal town, but for us the location is 5 star!

This cozy, comfortable restaurant in the heart of the town offers a relaxed atmosphere. Dinner was delicious and a satisfying dining experience. The beach is within walking distance, making for a pleasant after-dinner stroll. Its convenient location makes it an ideal base for exploring the town and coast.

We did like this hotel very much. The room was spacious and comfortable. The decoration is made with love. The dinner at the restaurant was excellent. The best we had on the trip so far. The dishes were made of fresh ingredients and nicely prepared. The team and the cook informed us about the daily options. We could also change the dishes to our preferences. Very friendly and supportive.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hótel Blönduós in Iceland, and it was an unforgettable experience. The premium rooms were exceptionally cozy, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. Waking up to the stunning views of the ocean and the glacier-fed Blanda River was truly a highlight of my trip. The sunsets here are breathtaking, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, creating...

The location is fantastic. It's within walking distance to all of the restaurants and shops in town. They say they have on-site parking but they do not. You have to park on the street. Some of the street parking is short term, so pay attention to the signs. We called the number listed for this hotel to fund out where we should park and was told we could use the parking lot across the street, which...

Very great value for the price we paid. Nothing over-the-top, simple clean and comfortable. Nice hot shower and cozy bed. It was the perfect one night stay.

We had to reschedule the day of arrival and that was no problem. Only bad experience was the terrible vanilla scent in the hallway and a clogged drain in the sink in the bathroom. Great view if the windows were cleaned.

The room was clean and the self check-in process was simple and convenient. Also the location on the Island was great; close to the shoreline and right in the middle of the town, walking distance from the grocery store and a convenience store as well, and also super close to the ferry dock. It was also super convenient to have the parking right in front of the Inn, but spaces were somewhat limited...

Good location, self check-in, walking distance from everything in town. We reserved two nights, stayed one. Only need a day to visit most of the island. We rented bikes and hiked... was worth it - rent a bike!

We took the ferry from Iceland and wanted to stay another night because the island is breathtaking. Unfortunately all the hotels were booked and we were literally about to sleep on the grass 😂 because we didn’t have a place to stay at. We called this hotel and the owner literally woke up at midnight to fit us all (4 of us) into a room she had left. The beds were single beds but she accommodated us...

Nice place with great breakfast variety. A little tight with space but you will be fine.

beautiful location, very clean

The hotel is a resort with a golf course. It is close to Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and is located in a remote area, so it is only suitable for self-driving. The service is basically self-service. You check in with the password sent to your email and leave directly after checking out. The host is at ease and the guests feel at ease. The environment in the early morning was extremely good, and I saw the...

The location is quite far from Highway 1, and the room was very clean.

The hotel is located in an isolated position in the countryside near the village of hvosollur. There is a restaurant inside with prices in line with Iceland. In the morning there is an excellent breakfast buffet with sweet and savory. The room was clean and well heated. Great for those who love nature, you need a car to get there.

A lovely continental breakfast with ham & cheese available. Would have preferred bread rolls in addition to bread for toasting, but that's only nit-picking. Cheesy pancakes were lovely. We started the day well.

A lovely welcome from the team started our stay well. The room was really clean, cared for and well designed. The breakfast room had plenty of space and choice and the bar was so lovely, with a great choice of drinks and really beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

The room felt unfinished with certain lights missing. The tv didn't work. However everything was very clean and the breakfast was amazing

Beautiful hotel but not good rooms Pros: The propriety is beautiful. Common areas are very well decorated. Bath towels new and soft. Breakfast is excellent. Cons: Room very stuffy and warm (no AC). Noisy construction in front of the building and so is the road. Staff between arrogant and almost rude. Room/bathroom design weird. Loose electrical wires hanging out of the walls. Holder for shampoo...

Location great service good room was very crowded no closet or hooks for clothes or space for suitcase

It was a very nice hotel and hotel room. The breakfast was extremely good! The only downfall was there was a lot of construction going on within the hotel and on the street of the hotel.

Loved this hotel!!! The Hotel Akureyri Dynheimar is a firm favourite; its charm and character have been preserved and enhanced by clever interior design choices. The rooms are generous and very well-fitted. Our room had a large desk, a comfy armchair, a beautiful bathroom, and a king-size bed. The heated timber floors were a nice touch. This hotel is designed for comfort, and I felt right at home...

By far the best place I’ve stayed in Iceland. After staying in six different locations along the ring road, this one exceeded all expectations. The location and views are stunning, and the farmhouse-style home has such a warm, cozy feeling. The décor inside really captures that rustic charm. I can’t wait to stay here again.

Very clean Hotel room with a mini fridge and a smart TV. The staff was really friendly and helpfull. We loved the breakfast and the dinner. The hotel is located at a farm and you can see a few animals! We loved that! 😊

We didn't stay in the place. We just stop for lunch in the restaurant. Cute place with a convenient location if you need to have lunch in the ring road. The food was nice, the burger was great. The meat was ok, the portion is a little small for the price. The service is good and places is really pretty.

I have stayed at the hotel twice, went a couple of times to the restaurant and now I went to the new baths and dinner. Everything was so good, food excellent, service excellent and the baths so cozy. They seem to be still working on the bath facilities but quite obvious that they are ambitious in providing an memorable experience for their customers.

The food at the hotel's restaurant is excellent. Try the Lentil Steak. It was a new gastronomic experience, especially in a wonderful way. High protein with an exquisite taste. The lamb that I had was super tender and all in a great experience to take the significant other for a fantastic meal.

Stopped for dinner on my way from Reykjavik to Akureyri. Had the “Hraunsnef Burger” and it both filled my stomach and pleased my soul for the remaining trip. Highly recommended for the whole family ... the best bite on Highway #1 between Reykjavik and Akureyri.

Clean and comfortable home. Quiet and central location to all the sights

The property is lovely, the terrace on a sunny day was especially a hit point! The town is quiet and had excellent food nearby. Stefan was an amazing host, very comfortable for a family of 5 with 3 teenagers. We felt like home.

Stayed her with my wife and son. Wonderful apartment in excellent location near golden circle and southern Iceland attractions. Would recommend it to anyone traveling with a family.

We stayed here few months ago, and sometimes I catch myself daydreaming and remembering this absolutely cozy and homy place. 2 minutes after entering the apartment on the 2nd floor, I already felt like home. Maybe it's because my home is quite similar to this one, but I'm pretty sure most people had felt and will feel the same homy vibe. It has everything you need if you want to stay for a day, a week...

Very cosy and well equipped flat with a garden and a hot tub ! Highly recommended.

Best apartment ever, comftorble, clean, nice decor, friendly hosts, lovely Little City. To good to be true. Love it.

Spent a night here on our Ring Road trip around Iceland. Lovely family run farm that has a guest house for travelers as well as Icelandic horse riding tours. It was a nice change from staying at hotels and the first time we really got to have some conversations with the knowledgable people who actually live here. Part of visiting a country is also getting to know the people… but it is easy to be distracted...

Guest house outside the village, with horses and possibility of horseback riding. Cooking facilities.Must leave shoes on a rack at the entrance. 6 microscopic rooms on second floor, single bed for two, with one side leaning against the wall. The impression is that the original rooms were split into 2. You can hear the neighbors as if they were in the room. Microscopic bathroom with the smallest sink...

This little place was our favorite that we've stayed along the ring road. We not only stayed here but we also went horseback riding with Dottie. You must do both....it makes for the total experience. The owner of the ranch. Came out running to greet us as we arrived and showed us around his place. You can see the pride that he has and his location and how well kept and clean it is.. We came with...

Let me get this way to little place what's our favorite place that we've stayed along the ring road. We not only stayed here but we also went horse bike riding with Dottie. The owner of the ranch. Came out running to greet us as we arrived and showed us around his place. You can see the pride that he has and his location and how well kept and clean it is.. Time We came with our son who really enjoys...

This was our favourite accommodation of our two week vacation in Iceland. The area is stunning, accommodations clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and it was lovely to chat with the family who are all welcoming and informative. We also did a horse ride which was amazing, felt safe and got to see some more of the beautiful area. I would highly recommend Skorrahestar!

My husband and I did a 1 hour tour here and had a great time as this was our first time ever riding a horse! The ride was very easy and the horses were super gentle. The views were phenomenal! Passing cows, wild flowers, and walking along the stream. The guide was very friendly and patient. She also gave educated us about Iceland along the ride. The property also has baby lambs, Arctic fox pup, chickens...

Comfortable room. Clean. Great breakfast and services. You also get a pass to see the viewpoint.

We were only in the café. But that was an amazing experience. They staff was extremely friendly. The toilets were clean and the food was good. They had a little mix up with one order but they were so sorry about it and gave us something for free as a sorry. I am extremely pleased with my stay here and can recommend it to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

A really lovely little place to stay with stunning panoramic views. Perfect location if you want to photograph the famous beach. The accommodation is basic but comfortable and warm and the staff are really friendly and helpful. A simple breakfast is included and the cafe has a selection of drinks, sandwiches and soup available throughout the day but does close at 6. However Hofn the town is only ...

Super clean bathrooms and showers. There was also a small outdoor kitchen. Since it’s winter the stoves were taken out but it was still an area I could use my over camper stove to cook in. The cafe had some really good muffins. The vestihorn Mountain View tickets were included in the camping cost. The lighthouse and seals seemed like a long walk and were a bit confusing since it was blocked off by...

We had the entire block of unit to ourselves as we had 3 people. Staff was nice and polite and the rooms are spacious. Best of all is the location which is near to the major tourist spots we were visiting. Breakfast spread was not so wide but it is sufficient for us to have a full breakfast.

Comfortable and value for money. Provides free access to Viking Village and Stokksnes as well. Friendly staff. We also caught the most amazing aurora 10 minutes drive from this accommodation.

Lovely room with good access to main road along the golden circle. Breakfast included. Staffs are great!

Efri-Vik overnight We initially reserved a bungalow however on arrival we were upgraded to a hotel room. Breakfast buffet was quite good with many options.

We got upgraded to a nice room at Hotel Laki as the bungalows were closed after summer. The hotel was very swanky, the food options were delicious, the staff were very helpful and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Cozy cabin located just several hundred meters from Hotel Laki. Great breakfast (included). Room was very clean. Hotel staff was great. We appreciated the laundry service offered by the hotel (~$25 USD). We had already been traveling for 8 days, and it felt great to have clean laundry!

Although the cottage looks very ordinary, it is very cozy inside. It is small but well-designed. The bathroom is clean and easy to use. The hotel breakfast is also great. There is a horse farm not far away and the environment is beautiful.

Great stay. Comfortable and clean and not to mention , breakfast was amazing! Highly recommend this place.

We were very happy with this accomodation! The day we left, we had to leave at 3 a.m. and were therefore to early to get breakfast. Knowing this, the very nice and helpful lady of the hotel made us some sandwiches, which were waiting for us on the counter. Recommended!

This hotel literally saved me a few others from a long day of exhaustion. They welcomed us in and we're so very nice and comforting. After a mess at the international airport which involved a power outage, freak storm, and hours upon hours of lines, culminating in false hotel vouchers from the airline (because the original hotels never received the voucher bookings because there was no power), we made...

Great place to stay for a night or two. Very close to the city center and also to the wharf. The beds were comfortable and every room has its own private bathroom which is nice. My only complaint is that they put us to the dining room/Breakfast room and it was VERY noisy in the morning when we were trying to sleep. Beyond that it was very nice and the staff were very accommodating.

The room was comfortable, clean, and convenient, with laundry facilities available. Waking up to the beautiful view in the morning made us so happy!

Clean, spacious and practical. You are surrounded by more sheep, horses and cattle than people. You do not need to travel anywhere to see the northern lights, just open the front door. I did not cook a full meal but instead bought some prepared meals and heated it in the microwave. There’s also a small fridge to store items. And if the sky is clear you have a great view of EYJAFJALLAJÖKULL glacier...

The place is awesome for family of four, ample space: clean and amazing bathroom. We loved visiting Iceland and will come back to this place again.

Cute apartment with the nice location between things on the south coast!

Beautiful apartment with an incredible view! Great location and it had everything we needed! 😊🙏

Wonderfully furnished place with fine amenities for cooking, shower, beds, etc. A bit of the beaten path, but a lovely place for relaxation.

If you're looking for a place to stay near the airport before your early morning flight, we highly recommend staying at this hotel. The rooms are clean, cozy, and well-maintained. Additionally, there's a designated dining area equipped with a microwave, plates, cutlery, tea, coffee, and water, making it convenient for you to heat up your own food. Overall, it's a great choice for a comfortable and...

The older gentleman staff member is outstanding and so sweet. I didn’t know what to expect with the breakfast but it was simple yet satisfying. Highly recommend the peppermint tea. Very cute and clean. I would suggest a bit more detoxification of the bottom shower curtains. Also very accommodating and in close proximity to the town as well as airport.

Good value for money! A really nice little hotel not far from the airport. Free parking right in front of the entrance. We got a room for disabled people. An elevator bed and a double bed.

Very sweet hotel. All the essentials, free breakfast, hot water - all you need before departure.

Covenient Location, Next to the airport. Well maintained family run hotel, comfortable. Clean & neat room, also the private bathroom. Quiet place. Delicious morning breakfast. The lady in charge during the day was kind with us, we had an am flight and she gave us the room a bit earlier than the usual check in time. She helped with information about the area, and also to book my next PCR appointment...

clean and well-maintained family-run hotel. My last stop before heading to the airport.

We stayed at this hotel during our trip around Iceland and found it to be a comfortable and convenient stop while travelling the island. The self-service check-in was straightforward, although the booking information mentioned a latest check-in time of 9pm. We rushed to arrive before then, only to find there was no reception and entry was simple regardless - so it would have been helpful if that was...

We stayed at the hotel for one night. The room was comfy and the staff very helpful, but the location and view were what truly stood out. We even saw northern lights just outside the room, quite an incredible experience!

Small but clean rooms. Private bathroom. Nice full kitchen and tables in basement to cook or store your food. Easy check in. Central location to walk around town.

Rooms are small, but the community kitchen was nice and it was located near local restaurants. The views around this area of the mountains and waterfalls is stunning!!

This property is located in a quiet place. We drove into a parking lot labelled with the name only to discover that registration was half a block back. Other guests helped direct us where to go. The hotel looked liked it needed a coat of paint but inside it was a spacious set of rooms. Good amenities (tea, coffee, small refrigerator, separate sitting room, lots of outlets to charge electronics...

The room is sufficient for laying your head down but is much too tiny without enough room to open luggage. It is clean and has a cute communal kitchen but should be advertised as a rooming house or hostel in my opinion.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Phoenix Hotel. The rooms were spacious and very clean, the beds were really comfortable. We had a small kettle to make tea and coffee which was good. Every night the beds were turned down and a chocolate placed in the pillows which was a really nice touch. The 2 managers were lovely, they couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was good too. All in...

The hotel is located very centrally in Reykjavik allowing you to reach every location on foot. The rooms are very clean and the service is excellent. The owners are always happy to share their insights on where to go or to give you directions to where you need to get. The breakfast is plenty to take you a long way through the day. Definitely recommend staying there

Absolute gem of a hotel. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud, so soft and comfy. Lovely and warm without the need to put the radiators on. Although we did use them to dry our clothes after a really rainy day. Everything you need is provided, especially if you do hand luggage only like we did. Hairdryer, toiletries, water, tea and coffee! We did bring our own towels for the secret lagoon and local...

Fabulous hotel in the centre of Reykjavik. Beautiful rooms snd very clean. The breakfast is fantastic. The hotel is on the main street in Reykjavik but in a quiet area. Our hosts were very friendly and gave us nice tips and information about Iceland.

A wonderful little hotel on the main street in Reykjavik centre. The hotel is beautifully decorated and very clean. The two gentlemen running it are very welcoming and gave us good tips on what to see in Reykjavik and around the city. Breakfast was fantastic.

Very nice small boutique hotel in the centre if Reykjavik. Very clean and beautiful decor. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was phenomenal. It’s on the main street but in a very quiet area. The bed is one if the best I had in a hotel room.
