UMI Hotel

Rangárþing eystra

10/10 Excellent

This is one of those hotels that you will want to stay forever. The location is unique, where you will have not matter which room an amazing view. I think the mountains views are the best! The service always impeccable. Rooms are spacious, not too much closets tho, but very modern. Breakfast was the best!!! You need to remember that this hotel is not near any big city, so if you want quietness and no city lights at night, this is your place. They have a restaurant but we didn’t eat there because...

The Garage

Rangárþing eystra

10/10 Excellent

My husband, daughter (20), and I stayed at The Garage for 2 nights (April 30-May 2). This is one of my favorite places we have ever stayed! If you plan to stay overnight in south Iceland do not miss this gem. The location is close to all the sights and activities, but the Garage is so comfortable and charming you might not want to leave the property! Cool decor and design, large and comfortable room, great amenities, and a wonderful family that owns/operates the Garage makes this a unique spot....

North Star Cottage

Rangárþing eystra

10/10 Excellent

I stayed here in early November. I was a little nervous because some of the reviews made it sound awful. Maybe they remodeled some and upgraded since those reviews. Either way, I loved it. Super easy to find off Rt. 1, maybe 25 minutes outside of Vik. The cottage was super clean and cozy. No couch, but I'm assuming that's because there was a double bed in the "living room" and a separate bedroom on the same floor. Small little kitchen with basics, table and four chairs, and a bathroom. I stayed...

10/10 Excellent

I am between providing a 4 star or 5 star review, but will tip it up to 5. It’s probably like a 4.25. Overall was one of our favorite stays in Iceland. The cottages are so unique, it was really fun to stay here and I’m so glad we did! I would totally recommend to anyone staying in the area. A few notes: 1. The cottage fits 2 adults comfortably. 4 adults would be a very tight squeeze and wouldn’t be a comfortable stay. There is very little storage space to stow bags for 4 adults, and the...

10/10 Excellent

Hotel Selja is in the perfect location to see and do so many things in Iceland! The rooms are very comfortable, clean and well designed. Lots of outlets, great waterfall shower which was very spacious, good wi-fi, very comfortable beds, black-out curtains to block out the midnight sun, and very beautiful surroundings. The views are amazing with waterfalls, glaciers, and lupines in full bloom, and the location is so quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was amazing and they offer a nice dinner menu...
