Top Southern Iceland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Vík í Mýrdal

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the shower and the room was a nice size. Breakfast was excellent and lots of variety. Location was great. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Vík Apartments

8/10 Good

"This is a lovely apartment. It’s spacious and welcoming and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. It’s in a quiet location really close to all the shops and a supermarket. It is very expensive in relation to other parts of Iceland though. We stayed in five apartments during our trip and this apartment was twice the price of all other - and it had the least well-appointed kitchen! Very expensive for what it was. The kitchen was missing some key things that are essential to a kitchen: no serving spoons to dish up; there was nothing to use to things out of the oven; no small bowls to eat cereal from; not enough cooking utensils. You also need to run the hot water for a very long time to get hot water - about 8-9 minutes. The seal around the dishwasher is also loose so if you don’t place it correctly water leaks all over the floor! This apartment is fine to stay in but it’s not as nice as any of the others we stayed in and doesn’t feel as homely. It was also phenomenally hot - the heating was on so high we had to have the windows open all evening! Also note that some apartments are on the first floor with no lift so ground floor ones have easier access for carrying suitcases."

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. I had asked if they could do something for my husband as it was his birthday and we found lovely treats and a thoughtful message in our room. Staff were so helpful. The jacuzzi was a nice perk. Would say we did have to walk about 15 mins to main part but it is a lovely location by the harbour and we loved using the bolt bike to speed up getting into the main eating area. Breakfast was very tasty. We honestly had a lovely stay. Definitely recommend this hotel"

Hotel Reykjavik Saga

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was very comfortable and the rooms were clean and large with sizable bathrooms. The staff was very helpful and gracious. The location is great, within close walking distance to the downtown, Concert Hall, and Old Harbour. The breakfast was very good with a wide variety of offerings, including gluten-free options. This seems to be the case in Iceland that hair conditioner is not usually stocked in bathrooms. But when we returned after our 4-day tour, we were automatically upgraded for a repeat stay to a better room and package that included a balcony and hair conditioner. We very much appreciated the upgrade since we saw Northern Lights for the first time by stepping onto our balcony without having to leave the hotel, One complaint common to most bathrooms in Europe: the ledge for the shower is very shallow and the water always seems to end up flowing onto the floor outside the shower. We found this a nuisance and perhaps could use some advice to avoid it."
