Frost & Fire Boutique Hotel

Stayed here recently as accommodation for a wedding party although the ceremony was elsewhere. First impressions are mixed as it’s not your typical hotel with dormitory style annexes and a huge geothermal fissure at the front entrance. But first impressions often don’t give the full story. Rooms are a good size with a coffee machine and fridge. Great shower room with underfloor heating and toiletries which smelled amazing! Lovely little balcony overlooking the river and a fantastic view of the surrounding hills. Used the hot tubs which were lovely and the pool . Breakfasts were great with a really nice selection of food and drinks both hot and cold. Staff were friendly and helpful. The wedding dinner was fantastic! We had starters, mains and dessert and all were beautiful food. Probably the best food we had in our stay in Iceland. This is a lovely little gem of a hotel in beautiful surrounds yet only 45mins drive from Reykjavik. All members of our party would definitely stay here again! Thoroughly recommend!

We (family of 5 adults) stayed here for 3 nights in April 2025. We booked 3 of the superior river view rooms with balconies. They were spacious, clean and comfortable with added amenities such as a coffee machine, hairdryer, mini fridge and toiletries. The sauna and geothermal hot tubs were another hit amongst the group and were a warm 40 degrees Celsius. We even watched the northern lights from them which we were very lucky to see in April! ||The location you just can’t beat! It’s secluded away from the village but close enough to still walk to the restaurants and brewery! We explore the whole golden circle and south coast and nothing was over an 1.5 hour drive. ||The restaurant topped it off though, the food was incredible and the staff were so friendly. We will definitely be back! We also got to boil our own eggs in their geothermal spring at breakfast (which was included every day of our trip). ||Overall we loved our stay here, the staff really care about you having the best time.

Absolutely loved our stay at this cute bed & breakfast. There aren’t too many rooms which was nice, very honey feel. The rooms are updated and very clean. Our room overlooked the river and geothermal valley which was gorgeous. The hot tub and sauna were so relaxing! Breakfast was amazing and they have the most beautiful sun room. The staff even helped us cook an egg in one of the hot springs! So cool. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Due to a lava flow rupture, we booked this hotel last minute. It ended being a happy discovery! The hotel is in a tiny town which is dotted with steam fissures. A short and lovely walk from the hotel along a river trail leads you to the main area of town. There's not much to the town but this would be a good base for day trips. There's also several trails including one that leads to a natural hot springs area, and a place to rent bikes, etc. ||||The hotel is cute, we had a private balcony/patio which overlooked the river (upgrade). The room was surprisingly large (compared to most European hotel rooms). There toiletries smelled nice; fyi no body lotion. There's a hot pot (small hot springs pool) on site which is lovely in winter. The hotel provides robes and slippers which is nice to not need to pack. It would have been an excellent location to see the aurora borealis, however, it stormed the night we were there. ||||Staff was friendly and resourceful.||||Eating at the Varma restaurant is a must! We consider ourselves foodies, and know quality when we taste it. The food and presentation was exquisite! We enjoyed every bite; both dinner and breakfast. ||||Overall, if we happen to find ourselves in this part of Iceland again, we will definitely stay at the Frost and Fire Hotel!

Clean rooms but rows of outside bungalows. Some inside. Hot pool and hotter hot tubs and sauna were a bit primitive but good fun. Dining was nothing special. Nonlounge area, not as nice as online suggests but still we were not unhappy.

Great little hotel, with nice views and surrounding area. Good hot tub with said good views, rooms were good however the shower was slightly small. Great location, walking distance to the town and not too far from the natural hot springs hike. Breakfast was included and had a good selection of continental food however the hot food (scrambled egg, baked beans and bacon) were not actually hot when we went for the breakfast. Stella was stellar, she was very friendly, helpful and even showed us directly to our room, showing us where the amenities where on the way, which is something no other hotel did on our stay

Unfortunately our experience did not match the photos on the website. Our chalet room was comfortable and clean but there were some sloppy maintenance issues, it required a little TLC. Good selection at breakfast, but the breakfast staff weren’t friendly. Boiling eggs in the outdoor hot spring was great fun. Overall not great value for money.

We chose this hotel as our first stop before starting our journey, to switch into vacation mode – and we were not disappointed! First of all, I am very grateful that we were given a better room than we had booked. The room was spacious and had a beautiful river view. We also booked directly through the hotel's website and opted for a package that included dinner – highly worth it! On top of that, there is a sauna, and the hot baths are amazing. The hotel is located next to a hot spring, where they even cook food. You can boil eggs for breakfast, and during dinner, you can taste delicious desserts and lamb cooked in the hot spring. The staff is kind and friendly. Because of all this, we decided to stay here again at the end of our trip. We enjoyed the Northern Lights from the hot tub and had another fantastic dinner at the restaurant. Highly recommended!
