Hótel Klaustur Iceland

I don't know where to begin. The hotel itself is lovely and the location is great. Before we arrived I contacted the hotel to tell them it would be my friend's birthday and they definitely went above and beyond to make this special day even more special! When we arrived we were immediately made to feel welcome. The staff, Waldemar, was incredibly friendly, asked about our day and mentioned his congratulations to my friend. We were upgraded to a room and when we entered the room there was a birthday surprise waiting for us - more than I could have ever asked for or expected. After we went into the room, Waldemar even came out with a very tasty cake and a candle. What a nice, beautiful gesture! Even when we checked out, the staff were super friendly and knew about his birthday. It was so impressive! Special thanks to the hotel and especially to Waldemar for making this possible! We absolutely loved our stay. It was the perfect way to spend the birthday!

Great cosy hotel. Loved every minute there. Great amenities and very friendly people around. Loved their little bar, loved their decorations in all corridors. Rooms are comfortable and offer a great view of the mountains. Very good breakfast! And all the ambience is so romantic.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect for exploring the stunning south coast of Iceland, offering both comfort and convenience. The team members were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ensuring we had everything we needed. Breakfast was great, with a good selection to start the day right. A truly special moment was when the staff noticed it was my partner’s birthday and surprised us during dinner with a lemon meringue tart and a candle. This thoughtful gesture made our stay even more pleasant and unforgettable.

Stayed at the hotel as part of a bus tour. Staff were very helpful. Morning buffet and evening meal were excellent. Room was just the right size for two. Bed was very comfortable. Great location while touring the south east of Iceland. Would return if doing an independent tour in the future.

Sheltered a storm here in January 2025. Rooms were comfortable and warm. Funny thing, the "bed" was two twin beds pushed together. Food was good in the restaurant and the breakfast spread was amazing! Price was appropriate for the accommodation. 4 stars mostly just because they were great...but not spectacular and I continue to have a problem wrapping my head around the beds. Maybe I am being too critical and that is more common than I know there.

The room was not so good as we expected, being sparsely decorated. The interior outside rooms looked a bit cheap, contrary to its intention. However, breakfast was really nice. There was a wide variety of dishes and Icelandic choices. We saw northern lights near the hotels.

We had an incredible stay at Hotel Klauster. We were doing a 2 day out and back from Reykjevik along the South coast and picked this purely by its good location. When we arrived, the front desk person was friendly and incredibly helpful with instructions. We loved the rooms comfort and efficiency. We had dinner and drinks, with both the food and drinks excellent. The restaurant manager checked on us since it was a busy time, provided us with a good story and taste of Brennivin, and the desserts were excellent.||By far the most wonderful part of the experience was the friendly, creative and engaging, bartender, Emilio. He was a brilliant mixologist, creating drinks from freshly grown ingredients and an incredible understanding of coordination of flavors and liquors. The next day as we looped back after the Glacier Lagoon, we had to stop back in just for the bartender since it was my wife’s birthday. Although a little early, the staff was friendly and accommodating, opening for us and making all of us an incredible drink to celebrate (and a mocktail for me, the driver). I’d highly recommend staying there and look forward to going back.

I asked politely and the very, enormously in fact, friendly staff were willing to move a piano into the bar area so I could play it for some other guests staying at the hotel. Truly above and beyond the call of duty. Also, they don't advertise this enough, but a very large proportion of their food uses exclusively local produce. Dining there truly gives you a taste of Iceland.
