Silica Hotel

The Blue Lagoon Silica Hotel is so dreamy. Even the hallways look like an architectural masterpiece! The rooms are so well-designed and comfortable, and the bathroom has heated floors. The view from my patio was surreal. Looking out the window was literally exciting! Staying at the Silica Hotel, you get access to the Blue Lagoon, but unfortunately, we were too tired to go swimming when we were there, so we just napped in the room! But, the benefit is the rooms were spacious and cozy with beds you can easily lay in all day. The hotel also offers private Lagoon access and a lot of generous amenities for guests. The parking lot was easy to navigate, and the hotel is close to the airport, which is a plus. The best part was that the staff was a pleasure to interact with. Check-in and check-out were so easy! And we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the lights in our room, but we were quickly helped!! I think going, seeing, and staying at the Blue Lagoon is a must-do in Iceland!

Our stay at Silica Hotel in Iceland was fantastic! This quiet retreat offered premium access to the Blue Lagoon, plus its own stunning lagoon that was simply outstanding. The breakfast was incredible—an extensive spread with everything you could imagine, all incredibly tasty. The only downside was the occasional sulfur smell around the hotel and in our room, which is just part of Iceland's geothermal nature. However, the exceptional service more than made up for it. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating; they even had our room ready before 3 PM, complete with a lovely chocolate and fruit plate and a sweet birthday note for me. Surrounded by volcanic landscapes, the hotel made us feel like we were on Mars! Overall, Silica Hotel is a wonderful choice for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Iceland in comfort. Highly recommended!

The area is magical. A bit of a wilderness to it. Do staying in this hotel is like in the wild, set next to the lovely blue lagoon. Walking distance to the blue lagoon, there a shortcut thru the corridor do you need not be in the cold for too much. The hotel itself is so cosy. The cabin feel of it makes it different from other hotel, but the room is still beautiful. The private lagoon is incredible. Quiet and with privacy. And quite big too . The staff friendliness here is a mix bag . Dogs are really nice others almost feel aloof. If anything that’s the only part I didn’t enjoy much. Otherwise it’s an incredible experience .

Silica Hotel is a hidden gem that exceeded all my expectations! The setting is absolutely breathtaking, nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Iceland with private access to the Blue Lagoon. The rooms are spacious, modern, and thoughtfully designed, offering the perfect balance of comfort and luxury. I especially loved waking up to the panoramic views of the lava fields every morning. The private lagoon was a highlight, providing a peaceful and serene experience without the crowds. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a memorable stay. If you’re looking for a unique and relaxing retreat in Iceland, Silica Hotel is a must!

Really great hotel in an amazing location. We loved our time at the blue lagoon, it was a highlight of our trip. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the main lagoon, but the walk is stunning, through an amazing landscape of lava rock. It also has its own private lagoon. The facilities at the hotel were great, the breakfast was really good and the staff were wonderful. The beds were really comfortable and the rooms were clean and well equipped.

Beautiful hotel with easy access to the Blue Lagoon. We were warned about the impending volcanic activity and the staff kindly offered us box lunches to take with us due to our early morning flight. Very pretty views from our room. Definitely recommended!

We recently stayed 2 nights at Hotel Silica, and had an enjoyable visit. Staff are helpful and pleasant. The room was nice, with a great shower. Their private lagoon us top notch! While you get premium passes to the Blue Lagoon, my recommendation would be to skip it and just use Silica’s lagoon - much nicer, lesss crowded.||The one area where Silica gets downgraded slightly is on the food. Breakfast was ok, but really the worst of our stays in Iceland. I would say it’s a slight step above a Courtyard Marriot breakfast - good fruit, but institutional watery scrambled eggs, overcooked bacon, and poor quality croissant. Lunch is literally packaged sandwiches and salads in a refrigerator. There is no dinner restaurant (but we would recommend d the nearby Max’s restaurant at the Northern Lights Inn).||While you may be paying 5 star prices, set your bar to a 3 or 4 star experience and you will love Hotel Silica. Come for the private lagoon, nice facilities, and great service (but not the food).

First off, the staff here is great - friendly, kind and knowledgeable. The hotel is a bit industrial without a lot of character. The Lagoon is very cool and not crowded like the Blue Lagoon so I am glad we stayed here. That being said, there is no real food available other than breakfast so you need to go to the main hotel to eat lunch and dinner. You can walk or take a shuttle but it is a bit annoying. The shower and locker rooms by the Lagoon need a serious round of updating as they aren’t very nice. Again, I think there is a lot of good and some bad here but at this price point, guests should expect more.
