Hali Country Hotel & Restaurant

We are still here, but felt the need to write a review! This is the cutest little hotel. The staff are so warm and welcoming, it gives bed and breakfast vibes. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant tonight and it was fabulous! We got the lamb and cod and loved both dishes. And the free museum exhibit after our meal was a nice treat! Our room is spacious and comfortable, and there is incredible lighting!!! Parking is free, easy, and plentiful. We would highly recommend staying here.

This review is for dinner at the restaurant. The meal was delicious and comforting, one of our favorites so far on our trip. It warmed our insides at the end of a long day hiking outside and truly felt like a home cooked meal. Seafood soup was creamy and flavorful. Paired with bread basket, it was the perfect starter. Arctic Char was cooked perfectly--tender, delicately seasoned, and incredibly fresh. My companion enjoyed the grilled lamb and said the gravy and rhubarb jam in particular were both very unique and flavorful. Portions were generous. The staff were friendly and efficient. We would absolutely eat here again!

We stayed here Mid October 2025. The staff were welcoming on arrival & very helpful. Our room was in a separate building to the reception, but this wasn't a problem as there is plenty of parking. The room itself was spacious and clean. The views from the hotel are fantastic. The breakfast was nice without being anything special. The restaurant prices are bit on the expensive side, even for Iceland standards, but there isn't else nearby, so I cant really complain.

There are not a lot of hotels the further east you go in Iceland so our choices were limited. We chose Hali over Hotel Jokulsarlen based on price and we are glad we did. Staff was friendly, restaurant on-site which was very good. Breakfast was included and was what seemed to be the standard Icelandic breakfast. The breads were excellent!||From the hotel you can see the ocean, a huge green mountain to the North and a glacier to the East.||The room itself was average but more than adequate.

Excellent experience @Hali Country restaurant. Food was excellent! Our entrees were fish soup and mushrooms soup and a cob. Everything was perfection and excellent sized portions for the price. Our server Adina topped everything by being amazing our entire evening. She was the sweetest and even sang “Happy Birthday” to my husband Chad. We shared a few laughs and even took a pic to commemorate the evening. We will be back for sure

A short ride east from the glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach this is simple yet cozy and comfortable hotel with an amazing on site restaurant. We had the 2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor with a kitchen and living room. We had a Mountain View out our bathroom window and a view of the ocean out our front door.

This hotel was perfect for a stop on our trip around the ring road. The room was clean and comfortable, and it was perfectly situated between many beautiful stops along our route. My favorite part of this hotel, however, was its restaurant. We dined here for dinner and all of us were so impressed by our delicious meals. The included breakfast spread the next morning was excellent as well. I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay there. Easy access and check in (we arrived like 11pm). The hotel sent us the very clear and useful instruction of how to get there and how to checkin if arrive late. The breakfast was great but located at different building of the room and not near, you could walk if you have time but driving is recommended :)
