Hali Country Hotel & Restaurant

Reviewing the restaurant. Has a homy feel to it, and serves food with high quality ingredients from a menu that has obviously been crafted with a lot of care. They showed a lot of consideration and flexibility when we had to exchange the meatballs - the menu does not mention it but we're in Iceland, so obviously they're out of lamb ;)

I can't say enough good things about our stay here. We had a 2 bedroom apartment, the beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Incredible views of the ocean and mountains. The restaurant surprised us with the exceptional food. While all our meals were great, standouts were the schnitzel (lamb!) And skyr cheesecake. Bonus - they let us bring our own wine for a small corking fee. We would come back here in a heartbeat.

A magnificent and cozy cottage, with well-designed interior, enough to house a family of four. Our cottage was equipped with a spacious porch, overlooking the fine natural beauty of the location. The restaurant lives up to expectations; all meals are great, especially dinner! The serenity of the location allows for great viewing of the northern lights, during fall! Please do check out this residence; you'll love it!

We had lunch and went to the museum here. Both were quite good we liked out food and the museum was fun. It was well paced and had an audio guide in several languages and signs throughout in Icelandic and English. The staff were very nice. It is just a short drive from Glacier Lagoon and a good way to get some lunch and kill time waiting for a tour like we did.

Oh, where do I even begin with my *amazing* experience at Hali Country Hotel? First off, the hotel room is *so* far from the restaurant that I’m now considering applying for a marathon training program just to make the trek for a meal. Forget a short walk—it’s practically an expedition! And when you finally *do* reach the restaurant, don’t expect any hospitality. The staff’s warmth can only be compared to a block of ice in the Arctic. Asking for assistance? You’d have better luck finding a unicorn. I even had the audacity to ask if they could heat up my food, and their response was basically, “You’re on your own!” Who needs customer service anyway? It’s clearly overrated. All in all, this is the perfect place if you enjoy long walks, zero help, and a complete lack of basic service. 10/10, would *not* recommend.

A countryside hotel with simply furnished rooms but with an awesome view on the glacier region. For dinner I recommend the hotel restaurant due to the quality and formulation of the food. Rich breakfast according to continental standard. Friendly service and location very close to the glacier lagoon in case you want to visit there early morning outside the crowdy times.

Beautiful location, very kind and attentive staff. The restaurant had delicious Icelandic meals and good service. The TVs in the rooms didn’t work, so come prepared with your own entertainment. Would definitely stay here again

Hotel staff were extremely helpful when we had some car trouble and promptly had a fellow out to help. They also had no problem letting us stay into the early afternoon to wait out bad weather. My room faced the ocean and the sounds of the waves were relaxing before the winds kicked up!||I'll say though, that the cell reception and wifi are pretty weak. I got a cell signal at the main building with the little museum and restaurant, but couldn't get any bars in my room in another building down the road. To make it worse, the wifi router is placed at one end of the building, and did not reach my room in the middle of the row! Wifi signal was strong in the common area which had nice seating but wasn't ideal. If you're just in and out between sightseeing and activities, Hali Country is great, but if you're like me and want to stay connected it's not the best! Still, gotta give them a great score for otherwise excellent service and helping us out.
