They really walk the talk! Intstead of giving you a "welcome to our hotel" they make you feel like at home. Great Food...great breakfast! Their chef Helgi prepares every meal with fresh local products and he is really into his cooking! Contrary to other hotels the chef is very accesible, warm and in touch with his clients needs. I found... More

We have just returned from a weekend away in Iceland to celebrate our 23rd Wedding Anniversary. My Husband booked the Romance Villa with Private Hot Tub. The villa was very spacious and well equipped but a bit on the shabby side. Sheets had a couple of old stains and no toiletries on offer and towels that had seen better days.... More

Despite the relatively distant location from Rekjavik or other main towns, I really love the atmosphere at this hotel. The reviews lived up to my expectations and I wasn't disappointed at all with their famous seafood soup which I highly recommend everyone should try. Their staffs are extremely friendly and approachable, just like most Icelanders I find. They were really... More

We have just returned from a self-drive tour of Southern Iceland, Hotel Glymur was the 3rd stop along the way. The location is beautiful, with views across the fjord, and the absolute highlight was sitting in a hot hub and seeing the northern lights! However, the decor in the hotel is crazy: wind-chimes, wooden tribal statues, giraffes, scented candles, garden... More

We came to Glymur with high hopes, given that other reviewers had given the hotel high praise. We were severely disappointed. Whilst the weather didn't cooperate (overcast and / or mist shrouded most of the time), the location can't be faulted. What detracted most were the spartan dorm-rooms will barely enough space for two people, the bizarre decor, and the... More

I have to agree with the previous reviewer. The hotel is well-located with great views. The hot tubs are fabulous. The rooms are not to my taste but make good use of the space available. What lets the place down are poor service (I sat in the bar area for almost an hour without a flicker of interest from the... More

This is probably one of the most expensive hotels in Iceland, and although the location and view are fantastic, the hotel itself doesn't justify the charge. Putting that to one side... Very warm welcome, in a uniquely decorated (dare I say idiosyncratic) hotel. It has been built to make the most of the fantastic views across the fjord, with both... More

We made a weekend trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights but sadly we did not seea Northern Light. We were left with the suspicion that their appearance may not be as frequent as Discover the Worlld or the hotel would have had us believe. Nevertheless the hotel is in a beautiful location and in snow it was a... More

This is set in a beautiful location, the two hot tubs have good views over the water (and are good fun when its snowing!) There are attractions in the area but we didn't get out much as there was heavy snow. Our room was on two levels and very comfortable, the staff helpful and friendly. More
