Hótel Klaustur Iceland

Modern and cozy hotel with the BEST breakfast buffet - a wide variety of high-quality food. The rooms were nice and spacious. The entire staff was terrific. Franck at the front desk was very informative and polite. They have monitors with the weather forecast to track the Northern Lights. The hotel’s location is perfect. My party and I stayed the night on our way from Vik and left for Diamond Beach the following morning. Even though they have a nice restaurant and bar, a supermarket is conveniently located across the street, allowing you to grab something and take it to your room.

Wonderful stay with a warm welcome on 25 Nov 2025. The hotel felt cozy, with heated bathroom floors and very good breakfast. The aurora call service was amazing — I got the alert around 7:30pm, saw the lights from my room, and then enjoyed one of the best aurora views outside. Great location too: Stjórnarfoss and Systrafoss waterfalls are nearby, Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon is just 12 minutes away, and the lava fields about 10 minutes. Also close to Foss á Síðu waterfall, Dverghamrar basalt cliffs, and Fossálar roadside falls. Tip: For aurora viewing, head to the church nearby. If you have car, drive to visitor centre, or the Stjórnarfoss parking area.

Clean and modern rooms. Voucher and towels for the pool across the street was a nice part of the room rate and fun. They have aurora wake up calls. Quiet town and great place to stay between Vík and Jökulsárlón.

This place was really nice. It reminded me of a modern ski lodge and I mean that as a compliment. Our room was spacious, clean snd quiet. The bathroom had under floor heating, which was really nice. The restaurant served up some really delicious food and the staff were very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

An upscale stay with a cozy restaurant and bar area. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, this was an unexpected nice spot in a sparsely populated area. The towel drying rack and heated floors in the bathroom were an appreciated touch, and the breakfast selection was top notch. A great place to stay!

We are very pleased by the hotel, the receptionist - Ariana is super friendly and helpful. She was very proactive and also help us had a great time in Iceland. The room was also amazing, it was super clean and look super modern at a great price.

We chose this hotel for a stop before heading across the southern coast towards Diamond Beach and were really pleased with the choice. It doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is a different story, clean modern lines and great service. Breakfast was another surprise, quite a selection and delicious, ours was included in the room cost (thankfully) There's a beautiful waterfall hike just a 5 minute walk up from the hotel. Short but steep with steps and the view from the top is worth it. Great way to get an appetite for dinner and you have 3 really good options including the hotel, although we picked a small place right next to the waterfall since we were looking for something light.

Very nice hotel with some hiking nearby. Had breakfast at the restaurant (included) and dinner at restaurant within walking distance. Room was great, and the view was great. Great place to stay before heading further east. We had the desk clerk teach us how the pronounce the name of the town, Kirkjubaejarklaustur
