9.8/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

This is a nice hotel in a convenient location. We were able to walk to most of the downtown attractions or catch the bus a block away at the city hall. The room was clean, well maintained, and a good size. The breakfast buffet had a decent selection and was a good price compared to similar options in the area. The hotel staff were very accommodating, sending us a text when our room was available early. They were able to answer our questions about the area and called a taxi when needed. This was a very nice stay.

Though the beach is best known and pictured for the basalt columns found near shore. The whole place is pretty magical to me

Black Beach

Stroll along the black sand past jagged rock formations and cliffs in the wettest part of the country.

Stop in at the Skogasafn museum near the Skogafoss. You can see the reconstructed turf houses and other buildings behind the main museum. The museum itself has lots of artefacts about Icelandic life and its history. But do not skip the small museum just down the road at Eyjafjallajokull, all about the volvanic eruption in 2010
