Best Hotels in Hlidarendi, Iceland

Drove in on a rainy afternoon and really needed to freshen up some clothes in my luggage. Went to reception and they said they had a washing machine onsite - mostly for the camping guests. They gave me change and I went down and tried the machine with no luck. Tried for a good 10 minutes. Could have been the machine but could have been the operator too! When I came back to the front desk to tell them about my troubles they offered to just do my laundry for me. Then I picked it up before we ate dinner at the restaurant onsite. Not sure how often they do that but it was very helpful that they were accommodating to my needs. Room was also very clean and the bed was cozy. Restaurant onsite was great too, food/service were top notch.

We enjoyed our one night stay at Bru Guesthouse in late December. The individual cottages are a great idea, and great way to have privacy. They are relatively small, just like they look in the pictures. A few km off the ring road on good gravel roads. No problem to get to. Self-check in anytime (key in lockbox). It is so remote (away from city, away from road), it would be a great spot to see the Northern Lights...if it wasn’t cloudy. Great heat. Limited hot water, but the 3 of us had no problem (we split up showers between mornings and evenings and took relatively fast showers...as would be true of most Icelandic accommodations outside Reykjavík). This was the most expensive place we stayed on our 10 day Iceland trip, but not tremendously more. Iceland is expensive throughout.

Outstanding service in the middle of nowhere. The owner had vision to put the hotel in a unique place. Staff is attentive, courteous, helpful and respond to every request. The place is new, clean, modern, and efficient. The meals were excellent, better than expected. The lamb was delicious. Breakfasts were good as well. Plenty of choice and plenty to eat. I highly recommend it. I will go back.

Hotel Fljotshlid was one of the best hotels we stayed at for our honeymoon adventures in Iceland. A little secret hideaway. The rooms were comfortable, spacious and clean. The restaurant served a hot buffet in the evening, which was fantastic for those travelling and wanting a warm hearty meal after a long day. The staff were attentive and helpful. The surrounding areas were beautiful and picturesque. For those wanting to stay and chill for a bit longer, they even have books, games, puzzles and even a pool table. All this for a reasonable price. We would highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed here only one night and arrived really late, however the manager at reception waited for us until we arrived and reserved a parking space for us. The room was spacious even though it was small and had all the essentials including kettle/ tea/coffee. We slept really well as the beds were comfy. The bathroom was small and dated but we were happy that it was clean and spotless. The breakfast was the best! It was a smorgasbord of Icelandic and non Icelandic delicacies. From the three hotels we stayed at in Iceland, by far they had the best breakfast options. The staff were extremely polite. We enjoyed our one night stay and would definitely come back again.

I searched for a hotel in this area as we were planning to travel to Westmann Islands the next morning. We arrived at ”prime time” (6-7pm) and easily checked in. There were pre-planned names/keys on the main counter. The two women who were working were quiet but friendly. The hotel is a rectangular building with about 11-12 rooms off a main hallway. Everything is fresh/clean and modern. Our room was spacious and the beds/linens and all were comfortable. We could hear people next door when in the bathroom but it was not any problem. A storm blew in while we were relaxing in the room and it was beautiful to watch from the window including a big rainbow for a finale. The dining room may lack a little charm. There is nothing to walk to - but the location is great for the views of basically the beautiful terrain. If you're going in June or summer it appears there must be loads of lupine blooming (we were too early). We requested to eat dinner (planned ahead via email). Emails were responded to very quickly. Dinner was very good. Homemade is best:) I would return when in Iceland.

I am writing to express my disappointment with my recent stay at your mountain cottage. As the most expensive accommodation of our week's holiday, I had high hopes and was eagerly anticipating a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, I regret to inform you that the experience was anything but pleasant. Firstly, the cottage (no 8) was in a state of disrepair, with broken glass and a board of wood hastily hammered onto the front door. The interior was equally disappointing, with a dirty and dusty atmosphere that suggested that it had not been properly cleaned or maintained. The cottage smelt old and felt cramped, leaving us feeling uncomfortable and cramped during our stay. Additionally, the bath towel provided was the size of a hand towel, and there was no bathmat or hand towels left for us to use. These small amenities are essential for a comfortable stay and their absence made our experience even more unpleasant. The walls were dirty with dust and grime, light switches were dirty, stains and dirt on radiators. Chipped crockery. Old, torn and ripped blinds. No door on the bedroom. Overall, I must say that the cottage was not worth the £150 per night that we paid. It was far from the charming and cozy mountain retreat that we had envisioned. The only positive aspect of our stay was that the cottage was warm and had hot water. I understand that issues can arise, but I hope that you will take our feedback seriously and take steps to improve the quality of your accommodations. I also hope that you will take action to address the problems we encountered.

Midgard is fantastic! The staff are all super nice and very helpful, even looking at a rattling on my rental car for me. But I have to say my favorite staff member was Hekla, the black labrador :) It was great to have access to a washer and dryer, and the sauna and hot tub with a view of the horse farm were very nice after a long day of hiking. I only wish I had been able to stay for more than one night!
