Hotels in Southern Region

The place is nice, especially the Hot Tubs that are included. One main Disapointment was at the breakfast. Their Coffee machine Malfuctioned and they had an additional coffee machine from the bar which is literally at the breakfast buffet, but instead of serving coffee for free for replacement of the malfuctioned one, they were are asking you to pay for your morning coffee which this is unacceptable...

Awsome from 1 to 10 ❤️ I came and had 2 wonderful days with my two children aged 2 and 5 and wow we managed to relax and many would say HA relax alone with two children so young. But believe me the calm that prevails over this hotel makes everyone relax and the three of us will come home relaxed and calm after the wonderful two nights we had here and the best thing is that most everything is within...

The room was too hot and stuffy. The lobster bisque from the in-house restaurant was incredibly salty, and the hotel offered no compensation after we provided feedback.

Excellent breakfast and very clean. Hotel Örk stands out for its excellent breakfast with plenty of variety. The rooms and common areas were very clean and well maintained. A comfortable and pleasant stay overall.

Very nice rooms! Smart tv! Nice bathroom, good breakfast selection!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Clean, spacious, comfortable room. All of the staff were helpful and welcoming. The breakfast had too many options to mention and the atmosphere was relaxing and refreshing.

The best hotel near to the Glacier. The sauna and hot tub are amazing. The receptionist is very welcoming. Coffee ans tea are so delicious. Would come back.

Love the stay and facilities. Especially the hot tub area.

Excellent amenities and food. Stayed here for one night before a glacier tour. It’s the closest hotel to the meeting point for the tours. The rooms are spacious, beds comfy, the food at the restaurant was INCREDIBLE! Especially the beef tenderloin. The whole staff was great too. Would recommend staying here to anyone.

The hotel's location is excellent. It has hot springs, a sauna, and even an aurora wake-up service, which is a really nice touch.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning surrounding. We stayed for 2 nights. Nicely decorated. Breakfast and dinner were good. However they charge fine dining prices which is too much and did not feel right. As there are no dining options nearby there isn’t really a choice.

This was by far our favorite (and most expensive) hotel we stayed at on our Iceland road trip. We only stayed here for 1 night but took full advantage of the outdoor hot tubs and the sauna. They provided a surplus of clean towels and a very nice area to dry off indoors. The rooms had huge windows facing the ocean for a great sunrise view. We ate at the restaurant here at 6pm and were amazed by the...

Very cozy nordic style hotel. This actually big hotel with sauna and hot tub. Breakfast also great.

We had a great stay at Stracta - the chalet style rooms were not a surprise as we looked through all photos on booking before choosing to stay. The only negative I can say is that the shower was really tight, the two doors don’t really work well. Other than that we had a great stay, the pull out bed for our daughter was far more comfortable than the one in others we’d stayed in. The staff were lovely...

Highly recommend! We stayed in one of the rooms with the private hot tubs. The room was very spacious and well laid out. The rooms were very clean and so was the hotel. The only thing was the shower is the room wasn’t working at its best, only the one showerhead was working. The food was good. In the area there isn’t a lot so you have to drive. Overall though the hotel was very peaceful and relaxing...

Spent 2 nights in Stracta hotel during summer. We were given a room in the outdoor without shelter, so it was quite a hassle when it rained. Otherwise the room was pretty standard size, squeezy for 3 people, would be fine for 2. Didn't manage to try the hot tub as it was full with patrons. Do not forget the complimentary drinks, Cheers!

I recently stayed at the Stracta Hotel in Hella Iceland with family, and wanted to post a quick review here. I stayed in one of their superior designated rooms with a double bed. The room was spacious and clean with a modern updated bathroom. The room also had a good sized open closet for my clothes and included some extra pillows and blankets. The price of the room included a breakfast in the morning...

Nice and clean Great location Happy breakfast But a but small for 3 people room

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 place to stay is very close to the church. Service is so-so. Breakfast is okay. Eating at KFC nearby is the most cost-effective option; places like Da Shi Dai are just a few minutes' walk away. I ate there. The pizza was over 200 kilos, and the crust was completely burnt. I saw other people were also complaining. A bowl of noodles was 170 kilos, a fried rice was 200 kilos, a taco was 120 kilos...

They were very attentive and provided warm service; there's really nothing to say, just go for it. Cleanliness could be improved, the bed and blankets are a little small, but overall it was still very good.

Located in the heart of Selfoss, it offers easy access to both the coast and the inland area. The facilities are relatively new. The rooms are not particularly large. There's parking, but it's limited, so you'll have to park on the street if you run out. Breakfast is similar to other hotels, but the selection isn't extensive. The coffee is good. There's a spa, but it costs 3,000 kroner per person...

This hotel has a very stylish design, and the price is surprisingly reasonable. The bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and small windows are all very tasteful. The hotel also has free parking, which is very convenient.

good location, everything nearby

Clean modern hotel situated near the entrance to the town. Large room but space mostly in the washroom (if you like big washrooms its great). Breakfast is BIG plus in Iceland, hot cooked American breakfast (bacon, eggs, sauteed mushrooms, bread and toast), lots of juices and milk, three cereals available. Avoid the espresso machine just get the brewed coffee made by the staff. Tea is sachet so dependable...

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ion. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the lava spa was very relaxing. We had a great dinner at the restaurant and really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The staff was very kind and gave us some great local recommendations for the next stage of our trip. We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights, thanks to the wake up call from the front desk.

It is certainly an adventure to drive to this hotel, the hotel itself is stunning, rooms are spacious and great views. The heated pool and sauna were absolute great after a drive to relax. Restaurant has a very limited menu, service was not great, offering of food was ok but not spectacular the northern light bar has no service there was no music, it was awkward to sit over there. Overall we thought...

stayed 3 nights here and the auroras were dancing every night for hours! best way to watch them is from the hotel’s geothermal heated pool. fitting to the hotel’s affiliation with Design Hotels, rooms were aesthetically calming and pleasing to the eye. i booked the smallest room but got an upgrade to a suite thanks to my Marriott Bonvoy Platinum status, which is honored at this hotel. including late...

Don’t believe the “bad reviews”……this hotel is absolutely amazing. The ambiance of the restaurant was A+ as well as the food. People complain it’s expensive but good. Yeah you are staying at a $600 a night hotel did you expect the meal to be $25? Hotel staff was friendly and Informative. The hotel bar had fantastic views and was very comfortable. The natural red hot spring pool was super relaxing and...

If you're sensitive to smells, definitely don't stay here. The sulfur smell is overwhelming; it woke me up twice in the middle of the night. The water also has a strong sulfur smell. Writing this review reminds me of that stench, and it makes me shudder.

The hotel is conveniently located near the Golden Circle attractions and a park. Nearby, you can witness geothermal steam rising from the ground.

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.

Good hotel. Great restaurant with good food and cocktails. Very welcoming waitress at the restaurant.

Nice hotel! Their chef is one of the best hotel chefs in Iceland. Even though every hotel seems to have the same breakfast buffet. Here it was cooked properly and with love.

What a fantastic hotel. The rooms are clean and a great size. The staff are so polite and helpful. We loved the generous breakfast and the surroundings are stunning. We are so glad we opted to stay here.

If there was a 7🌟 option- THIS place deserves it! Thank you too all staff- ESPECIALLY Kathey- there was a mixup in our reservation with Expedia, we had been exploring for 15hrs after traveling for 8hrs and we had been up for 30ish+ hours. She gave us pur key, told us where to find the geothermal pools and said she would fix this issue and update us in the morning. We were exhausted and greatful. ...

This hotel was part of our great experience in Iceland. About an hour outside of Reykjavik The rooms were clean. The staff was excellent. The dinner at the restaurant was top notch. Breakfast everyday was superb. The buffet was a perfect way to start our day. The hot tubs outside were absolute perfection. They had a Northern lights wake up list so if they were out and about they would call and let...

Beautiful hotel with near the national reservation. Hotel is cosy, it feels more like a holiday colony than a hotel rooms feel seperated so you don't feel crowded. Breakfast was great. My only suggestion would be walkin showers foe the rooms we had a showerbath combo. With some luck you can watch the nothernlights in a very clean jaccuzi.

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...

Quite remote along the south route. They have many full handicap rooms that are wheelchair accessible. Great bathrooms for a handicapped individual. Food is good.

Very good stay. The hotel was very clean, hospitality was excellent, and check-in and check-out were smooth. Highly recommended. Experienced the Aurora Borealis with friends, but it was only faintly visible☺️

Newly renovated rooms. Perfect spot to catch the Northern lights. Had dinner, the waiters are helpfull and friendly. Overall great place to stay at the Southern Iceland.

I was asked to use my credit card upon check-in, but upon check-out the next day, they charged me 40,000 kronor (the room fee had already been paid online). I only found out by checking my credit card statement. I contacted Ctrip customer service, and the hotel claimed it was a fine for smoking, but I hadn't smoked at all. The hotel later said they had mixed up the room and refunded the money a few...

Spacious room. Good price to value

The room was clean and well-insulated, with good heating. The shower and toilet were separate, and there was even a clothes dryer, which was very satisfactory. Environment: The view of the majestic and beautiful mountain peaks outside the window was like a painting hanging on the window. The breakfast was also good.

The location is good, close to the geyser and the Golden Falls. The hotel is average (I think it's a motel)

Location/Transportation: The prime location in the Golden Circle. When you drive out of the hotel, you will see Geyser, Blue River, and Volcanic Lake on the left, and Golden Falls on the right. They are not far away. Lobby/Front Desk: Good service Room: Clean, tidy and spacious Hygiene: Very good Breakfast: Very rich Facilities: Shampoo and conditioner are available

A hotel with nice breakfast and friendly staff

A short stay here, dinner and breakfast were nice;)

Great experience delicious food even saw the northern lights from our room!

Overall satisfied, especially the restaurant view is great

good breakfast. good place for aurora

The hotel is clean and close to the waterfall as well as the Systravatn Viewpoint. We didn’t see the aurora during the night we stayed but we saw meteors which is also a very nice surprise. The staff of the hotel are helpful and friendly.

I saw the Northern Lights right outside the hotel, starting clearly at 8 PM! The hotel breakfast was excellent. Although the room wasn't huge, it was quite good for Iceland and very clean.

The facilities are clean. It was a comfortable stay for a family of three with a three-year-old. There's a waterfall nearby and about three restaurants. The breakfast, while not extensive, is delicious, so I highly recommend it if the price is right.

This hotel is located conveniently, but the hotel itself was not as good as I expected. Especially there is no fridge in the room.

They initially arranged a room with two separate beds for us, but when we asked for a change, they quickly arranged another room. In that respect, I can say we were satisfied with the service. Breakfast was generally good. As for its location, it's on the main road, so you can consider it depending on your plans.

What a beautiful hotel! Very well designed with attention to details (bravo to the interior designer!). The room was very large with all the comforts including access to a small back garden (some rooms have access to the main garden where hot tubs are located). Excellent service, everyone extremely welcoming. We had dinner and breakfast and we were impressed by the quality of the food. Needless to...

We had a reservation at The Hillguest house and had to come here for check-in, given that was the same item. As soon as in reception i've seen a sign with some general information + hot tub. We had to put aside some spa that day precisely because we hadn't enought time and i've asked some information because i've taken that sign like my last opportunity. The (Very very very kind and lovely) girl told...

The Hill was the least favourable location for us during our visit. Although the hotel itself is beautiful and very aesthetically pleasing - which I’m sure is probably part of its selling point to gain influencers that can take beautiful pictures there. But overall the stay was lacklustre. The pull out bed for our 15 year old was incredibly uncomfortable, we had to line it with pillows for her to get...

We spent our New Year’s Eve here and it was amazing. The hotel is small but that’s the charming part of it: no big crowds, everything feels like home, including the outstanding staff! Cosy, well decorated and conveniently located at the heart of the Golden Circle. It was perfect! I would an only recommend a refurbishment of the bathrooms (although they are functional, this hotel deserves a bit more...

The hotel is lovely and they'd decorated it with fairy lights for Christmas which was cute. However, the woman at reception (in charge?) was quite unwelcoming, which set the tone for the rest of the staff - curt and not a smile between them (with the exception of the lovely South American man). I'd also emailed a few days before with a question. Got a reply saying I'd soon get a reply from reception...

Everything was great! Just wish breakfast was included but over all staff was sweet room was cleaned every day and the hot tub was fun!

The room is small and lacks things like a litter bin, a hot water kettle, and a desk. Stayed in a triple room with 3 single beds. Good thing is that we can use their restaurant microwave for ramen. So come here with all the food you can bring.

The room is a bit small, but that's the case for all hotels in Iceland. The surrounding environment is very good. You can hike on the hill in front of the hotel. There is a large lake behind the hotel. When the weather is good, you can see snow-capped mountains in the distance. The grass and birch forest on the side are very pleasing to the eye. There is also a hot spring pool facing the lake not far...

Close to Pingvellir and Geysir. A good base for your southern itinerary. They have a restaurant for dinner and breakfast.

Small little town, stayed in Annex facing the lake. Clean and spacious. Coffee and tea are free.

Small little town, stayed in Annex facing the lake. Clean and spacious. Coffee and tea are free.

Nice place to have a rest. Good view of the lake. Friendly host.
