Hotel Reviews
Fosshotel Hellnar
Hellnar

Lovely location. Rooms basic and small but clean. Restaurant was excellent. Locks on room doors were REALLY hard to open with the keys. They really need to modernize the locks.

Great hike along the coast from the hotel. Views of the glacier.

Much more modern than the first Fosshotel. We enjoyed the hot tub and spa here. The restaurant was also very good.

Cool place in a great area. Rooms were small but nice. Food hall downstairs was great for late meals when everything else was closed.

We stayed in the Glamping tents. They were beautiful. My only complaint is that the tiny heater in tent number two did a pretty poor job of keeping us warm at night. Thank goodness for the heavy down comforters!

Great at recommending hikes.

Better beat for tents. Showers were also cold unless you waited for the first one. Bathrooms were pretty nasty and need to be cleaned better.

Lovely, modern hotel in a tiny town in South Iceland. The rooms were beautiful. The common spaces at the hotel are also beautiful. The breakfast was excellent.

Reykjavík

Great location right in the heart of historic area. Rooms were small, but well appointed. The bathrooms are beautiful. I was a bit disappointed that the bar was so crazy but we happen to be there on the day of the pride parade so I’m guessing it’s not normally that crowded.

Blue Lagoon

Magical first stop. It was not very crowded because we were there early. The kids loved it.

The dressing rooms need to be warmer, especially because they don’t give you robes unless you pay extra. Bigger towels would also be nice.

Did this with her two teenage boys. It was very cool. It was a bit cold, but not intolerable. The staff was awesome.

Our boat captain, Adam, was fantastic. He clearly loves his job and his country. This was my favorite experience of the whole trip.
