3 Star Hotels in Vik I Myrdal

This is a great little place to get lost in Iceland. The rooms are brand new and very well-kept and it's all family run, so you feel like you're having a more real Icelandic experience. It is very wheelchair accessible as well, except the family-sized guest room. It's tucked up right against the mountains and glacier, so it has stunning views. Not a criticism by any means, but really just an fyi, there aren't a lot of dining options nearby, so you may want to eat at Vik before going to the Guesthouse, as you can only get breakfast there.

Limited choice of places to stay in Southern Iceland so we chose this one as we thought it would be a high standard as it's run by Icelandair. It's very new and bizarrely attached to an older hotel which we assume has been taken over. The people staying in the old hotel are fed in the new one which also does coach parties so our evening meal took two and a half hours for two courses because two very large groups took precedence and then got into their coaches and left. We had been advised to go in very early to eat because of the expected large numbers but it made no difference. We were still served after the coach parties as were other full paying guests. The hotel needs to sort this out. The room was ok but needs a full length mirror as the only mirror is in the bathroom which means that when the mirror steams up you can't sort out your hair. The shower also floods the floor and the towels are too small even for someone who is 5 foot three inches and weighs 120 pounds. There didn't seem to be enough staff in the evening with the receptionist doubling as the bar tender which led to delays for both functions. Guests can't park in front of the hotel but can only off load luggage however the visiting coaches seem able to do this. This can mean the view through the floor length windows is of a car park and coaches. A garden of some kind would improve this. The hotel has only been open a month so there will be teething problems. Let's hope things get sorted out.

Breakfast...the best in the world. Clean, stylish, on beach front. Last minute upgrade to attached hotel 'Iceland air Hotel'. The best in every way. beautiful decor.

We only stayed one night, but enjoyed a lovely meal in the restaurant and soaked in the hot tub as the sun set. Perfect.
