Hótel Klaustur Iceland

We really enjoyed this hotel. We were welcomed with friendly service. Room was spacious and comfortable. The heated bathroom was a welcome touch. Breakfast was included in our stay and it had everything we needed to fuel us for our day (even had cod oil supplement!). Highly recommend Hotel Klaustur!

This was my favourite of all the hotels we stayed at in Iceland. The location was perfect and the facilities at the hotel were just what we needed. The room was a little on the basic side but still lovely and comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and happy to help us plan our activities, even going as far as making the necessary arrangements for us. The hotel had a Northern Lights "wake up" call option on the phone which came in handy. I felt very safe here, despite it being quite remote. The breakfasts were delicious and had lots of options. The evening meals were wonderful too.

For starters, they gave us a complimentary upgrade to our room. The restaurant inside the hotel was phenomenal. I ordered the mushroom risotto and it was the perfect meal to end our busy day. The next day, breakfast was closed an hour before we came down…yet they still brought us into the dining room and treated us to a full breakfast. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This was the best hotel we stayed at out of all four we visited in Iceland. The rooms were clean and comfortable. They had black out curtains and a small fan. A fridge, laundry service, and northern lights wake up button was also deeply appreciated. It was the quietest hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I remember seeing many people at breakfast (included) and wondering how it was possible so many people were in our building. Next door is a community pool with hot pools with a view of a waterfall. It was nice to meet locals and relax. It was the perfect spot to bounce around southern Iceland and even had a few restaurants to choose from in the area. However, the BEST part of our stay was the lovely staff, especially Waldemar at the front desk. Everyday we saw him and he welcomed us back. He helped us understand the weather, gave incredible recommendations on what to do each day, and helped us get laundry done. When we checked out, he left us with recommendations for our next location, and even made us a coffee to go. He truly went above and beyond and made our trip extra awesome. A true example of exceptional service. I wrote more in the review of the restaurant, but that was also phenomenal. If you don’t read the reviews for the restaurant, please DO NOT forget to visit the incredible restaurant and bar. Jose makes the best and most creative cocktails I’ve ever had incorporating ingredients from around Iceland.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Klaustur our first night in Iceland. We were allowed early check-in by the hotel staff, who were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a happy hour at the bar and dinner in the Klaustur Restaurant - one of our finest and most satisfying meals in Iceland. Our waitress was extremely personable and friendly. Our standard room was spacious and comfortable, with a clean and well-functioning shower and bathroom. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. While near the Ring Road, the location offered a secluded feel. With its location near to many of South Iceland’s most captivating attractions, we highly recommend Hotel Klaustur.

This hotel is great - the rooms are clean and spacious, the facilities plentiful, and the staff friendly and welcoming. We stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful experience. The bar was well-stocked with local spirits; my husband enjoyed the Icelandic whiskey selection. The bar area was set up to feel super cozy, and the staff made us feel at home while we were sitting by the fire playing card games. The breakfast buffet was delicious, clean, and organized. ||||Even when we checked out, the reception team wanted to ensure we had a good stay and asked us for feedback (whether positive or negative). My only feedback for them would have been that the bathroom lighting is dim when the sun isn't out. Other than that, I would welcome another stay at this hotel.

Stopping here as an American family of six tourists, ages 14 to 70+, what a wonderful way to have ended our day of driving and sightseeing. The hotel is upscale and modern with many comfort amenities, quiet rooms, and gorgeous scenery. As Americans, we aren't used to needing three rooms and dinner at luxury hotel prices, and we spent the night swinging back and forth between chilly and sweaty due to the lack of air conditioner and effectiveness of the blankets. However, we fully expected these to be the case and had an incredible stay! The hotel had an elevator for the room and even a wheelchair accessible WC / bathroom in the lobby. The interior had many windows for natural light (when it's there) and views of the South Coast as well as many sitting areas with Iceland photo books to take in the natural beauty from the comfort of a warm, dry seat. The rooms had coffee and tea, safe, mini-fridge, private bath with waterfall shower and handheld sprayer, slippers, towel warmer, and even 100% Icelandic wool throw blanket / shawl to cozy up and relax with a good book. We know that complimentary breakfasts (like it is here) are not necessarily the norm, so we didn't have any specific expectations, but we were blown away by the quality and quantity of options. Rather than listing everything, I let my pictures show the details, but it ranged from Nordic to British to American to Continental and more. Even as a sugar-loving American, I can't remember ever having carrot cake for breakfast, but it was an option here! Perhaps the best part of the stay, though, was the brief walk to Systrafloss, the twin sister waterfall where you can climb towards the top or enjoy the view from the sidewalk. Because, of course, there are 3,000 or so waterfalls in Iceland, so why not try to hit them all?! If needed, there is allegedly a sauna and pool (although we didn't even look for it as we just wanted to sleep by then) and a nearby grocery store. But I did enjoy the chance to show the kids the local team handball court... what an underappreciated sport in the USA!

The staff were very friendly! My boyfriend and I came in late at night from a day of adventuring, and they were very understanding and kind. The room was very clean upon arrival. It was also very warm and soundproof. Came with high quality french shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower. The breakfast buffet was delicious! Had lots of food and drink options available and was easy to navigate even with a larger crowd in the room with us. I did not get to try their other meals or the bar, but the atmosphere of both were superb!
