Hotel Independent di Varmahlíð

"This place looks like nothing from the road. Probably an farmhouse at one point. They had some nice Christmas lights on the building to cheer it up. They are maybe 5 miles (8 km) west of Vik.

"The check-in went smoothly and the staff were friendly. The room was clean and the location was great for our needs. Recommend this hotel if in the area."

Our only complaint is that our room was very warm even with the window opened and the thermostat turned OFF. We couldn't understand why, since this is a first floor room....

"Great for seeing northern lights "
