A spectacular view in an excellent location equipped with outdoor 3 hot tubs and a sauna. 5 stars service and hotel stay worths that money. A very yummy dinner in the hotel restaurant. I took loads of pictures!

Lovely place, clean and quiet with everything you need. View from the rooms to lake is really great. Breakfast included which had a good variety of fresh and even some hot food too!

Lovely hotel in a beautiful location. We were in a standard room and were very impressed by the comfort and quality - the photos don’t do the room justice! The bathroom was very modern and well maintained and the double bed very comfortable. There are a few hangers but otherwise not much space to unpack.
We also enjoyed the amenities the hotel has to offer. We tried the restaurant twice for dinner and although it is a bit expensive, the food was an absolutely delicious fine dining experience....

The Lighthouse is excellent for a one-night stay-over before or after a Keflavik flight. It is about 14 minutes by car to the airport. It is in a very quiet area at the end of the Gardur peninsula.
If the hotel restaurant is fully booked, as it was when we stayed, there is another within walking distance (wild and windy weather notwithstanding) - the Rostin. Unfortunately, it closes at 8 so if you're arriving later be sure to have a hotel restaurant reservation. There is nothing else for...

Loved staying in this beautiful, peaceful hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed sitting in the outside bar area in the evening. Breakfast was delicious and the room was immaculate.

Staff in the hotel were all pleasant and helpful, and rooms were nice and comfortable. I opted not to eat in the restaurant as I thought I'd be pushed for time to have breakfast before some of the organised tours starting at 8am, and generally decided to eat elsewhere in Reykjavik for dinner.
Location wise, it's a quiet road just at the eastern edge of downtown, so just a few minutes walk away from various shops and restaurants. Also about 5 minutes walk from bus stop #12 which seems to be one...

Lovely, small hotel. Rooms modern, stylish, very warm and wonderfully clean. Staff were incredibly helpful and attentive - nothing was too big or small for their kind attention, efficient. Continental breakfast plentiful and fresh, tea and coffee available in small but stylish lounge 24/7.
I want to go back in the summer and will book this hotel again and have no hesitation in recommending it to all my friends.

The hotel’s location was excellent and it had an elegant feel to it! Staff were very friendly and also welcoming too. Our room was upgraded on arrival also. I’d definitely recommend staying here to other travellers!

Highly recommend and would come back if we visited again. The breakfast was very good and included a separate vegan corner, which was very welcome for me as a vegetarian. Location is excellent for visiting various attractions in the area.

We were so pleased we chose Hotel Grimsborgir for our stay. It is in a beautiful location, easy to get to lots of different places of interest and the scenery is amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the accommodation was so comfortable and warm. The hot tub was a lovely addition.

Really cute place. Lovely room. Clean, good shower, great heating. Comfy beds. Great breakfast: eggs, bacon, beans, toast, yogurt, sweet waffles. We had dinner one night, the salmon was delicious. Beef pasta was dry and lukewarm but, to be honest, we were happy to have dinner there rather than driving elsewhere. Friendly staff. Reception is not always manned but they tell you their hours and unless you have pressing issues/questions it’s fine. Overall great place.

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely short stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, with great service and attentiveness. The hot pool was fun and we had it all to ourselves while it snowed. Perfect location to do a bit of local sightseeing and relax.

After some of the very poor quality accommodation that we have encountered on this trip, this was a very welcome relief. If Iceland really wants to become a tourist destination they need to provide better accommodation like this. My only suggestion is that they encourage more residents to walk to the falls. It’s an amazing walk yet nobody doing it!

The room is very nice and clean. The bedding is comfortable. We didn't try the hot tub but it looks nice. Convenient location for going to highland and golden circle.
