Hotel Grimsborgir by Keahotels

ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir, a Member of Design Hotels

"Excellent hotel. Beautiful setting. Spa and hot pool was very nice and relaxing, and cocktails are available to order to the pool too. The food was excellent in the restaurant, with very good service. The check in and check out was easy and friendly. The room was high quality, modern, clean with everything we needed. The staff even helped me dry my coat in the drying room after a wet day, which was a great bonus for the stay. Highly recommend."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

"After checking into a couple self check in places we realized that you must enter the code in slowly, it seems if you press the numbers quickly that it doesn't recognize it and fails. Once we figured it out the self check in went smoothly."

Bella Apartments & Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Very large place, with full refrigerator, stove and microwave - even has a washer and dryer. Heating is in the floor, so slow to adjust to the temperature you want, but calling the property management was helpful in trouble-shooting what we should do to get the place cooler (in September!). Walkable to the new old town section and right across the street from a Netto. Very handy location."
