Hótel Dyrhólaey

We ended up staying here for 2 nights after the Hotel Burfell had some type of undisclosed problem and moved our reservation to here. It really does feel like a nursing home, but it's fine. Staff are very friendly. Breakfast was great with plenty of options. They even have a very nice gym which is a super rare in Iceland hotels. The spot is beautiful and you could probably easily see the nothern lights if it's clear. So why the lower rating? It's completely loaded with tour and school groups. The second night, our room was right in the middle of wild teenagers, running through the halls, knocking on our door and crashing around. They did quiet down by 2300 for quiet hours, but were up crashing around at 0600 again. Then a large tour bus pulled up just before midnight, with it's engine running, headlights shinning in the room, and people talking loudly. For that reason alone I wouldn't recommend staying here. There was 2 different school groups staying here in 2 days.

Amazing place with astonishing views, breakfast included. Dinner buffet available for purchase, it had many delicious options. The personnel was kind and responsive. The room was pristine and the bedding very comfortable

We had booked and paid for 2 nights here and ended up only staying 1 night, luckily our next stop could accommodate us early - this place is pretty basic and the room not welcoming at all. We declined the canteen dinner at £100 for 2 people in a dining room that is set out for large tour/school groups. We did have breakfast before we left - it was nothing special.||It was extremely warm during our visit and we had to leave the windows open to try and get some cool air (no aircon) and ended up with the room smelling of smoke from people smoking outside below our window.||We stayed at the Hotel Geysir, next stop along our route for the next few nights - it was cheaper and luxurious with excellent breakfast.

A spacious hotel up on a hill with a fantastic view. We had a corner room and it was large and gorgeous. Large bed, 2 lounge chairs, and a sofa. Wish we had stayed for a few nights here. They did not sell any throat lozenges but the staff person at the service desk got one out of her coat and gave me one. Very kind. Breakfast had so many choices and the pastries were excellent. We will come back here again for a few days for sure.

This was a clean, perfectly fine, large hotel with no real character, that is mostly geared to large bus groups. It does have fantastic views. It was expensive for what it provided and I would go with a guest house next time in this area. The generous standard dinner buffet was a shocking $7,500 isk / $60 us dollars pp for a standard buffet with meat and fish (sliced beef & salmon). I would definitely plan to eat elsewhere. We had great meals throughout Iceland for less than this every night. It was nice that there was a bar and the bartender was actually fantastic.

I honestly was expecting a 2 star hotel when I looked it up . However from the second of our arrival I was proven wrong. This hotel and staff ran like a well oiled machine. They had our bags in our room mins after arrival , took the extra step to left them onto the bench for us to unpack. The room was large and clean, the shower was hot there were plenty of outlets and USB chargers. The dinners were buffet style and had plenty of options for everyone. Two bits of advice : bring washcloths with you( there aren’t any supplied in room) and crack open the window it gets very warm in there. I would definitely recommend staying here , it’s obvious this was not originally a hotel and was remodeled into one so outward appearance makes you think it’s sub par but it’s actually quite nice .

This hotel is a large hotel that had a very spacious family room with 3 beds that was what we needed near Vik. The room was very clean and the shower was fine. The breakfast was great with enough choices for all 3 of us and we had an amazing view while eating. The hallway carpet looked at little dated but I would definitely be willing to stay again. There are a number of hotel buildings, so if you're unable to walk far, you might ask for a room closer to the breakfast area.

Not worth it. |We paid $400/night for our room. I assure you, this is not a $400 room. It was spacious, and it was comfortable, but it has dated decor and no TV channels. I obviously did not come here to watch TV, however, I did want to catch up on world events...........that was not possible. Despite the $400 price tag, there are no channels available to you on the TV; you must use your own personal streaming svc., which I do not have. And even if I did have Netflix, etc, I probably would not have my username and password memorized to use here.
