Stay was alright, but lacked basic services that most hotels offer such as towels, bed making, etc. Breakfast was included and good. Bathroom was nasty and the hotel seemed to ration out small soap bottles. Suggest just installing dispensers in the showers to avoid this hassle

Nice hotel close to blue lagoon
The hotel is simple but clean and comfortable. My only issue is it says free transfer to blue lagoon on their website, but this is not the case. We ended up spending a lot on taxis there and back as taxis are so expensive in iceland but there is no other method despite being only a 10 min drive away. Similarly it would be great if they could arrange an airport shuttle or be more knowledgeable about local transport, as again the airport is only 25 mins away but the only method was a £60 taxi.

A bit disappointing
Bit of a disappointment after so many great hotel stays in Iceland. Rooms were quite humid after using the shower (which was contained by two big plastic curtains) and we needed to keep the door open to let the room vent out. Decor was in rough shape... clearly well used. No closet. Small. Breakfast was nice. As was the option to pack a sandwich for 500 ISK.

Great hotel!
Recently refurnished and very comfortable hotel. Great location for the volcano and Blue Lagoon just up the road. My only improvement suggestion would be to have separate bins in the rooms for recycling e.g. paper / plastic / general rubbish. Other than that, a great place to stay :-)

Convenient and comfortable
A great choice for our first night in Iceland. We arrived at KEF, went to the Blue Lagoon, and spent our first night here. Comfortable room, excellent and delicious restaurant across the street, and a Netto supermarket next door for stocking up on provisions for the road! This was a great start to a fantastic trip, and I am glad we didn't impose a long day of driving on ourselves to start our trip!

Hotel Volcano Grindavik is an excellent base for visiting the Blue Lagoon and hiking the Fagradalsfjall Volcano (yes, you can do this independently). Both are minutes away. The airport too is only 20 minutes away. The room rate includes a good breakfast. The hotel and the rooms are very clean and well maintained; the staff are very friendly and helpful; and there are good restaurants nearby. My one kvetch is that the shower is separated from the rest of the washroom only by a curtain and hence, water gets everywhere. A glass barrier/door would make a significant difference. Otherwise, the place was great. We stayed here at two different times during our trip.

Very nice!
Very nice and clean hotel. Rooms are small but simple and serve the purpose. Free breakfast is a plus since nothing is open around and you definitely want to get going early to venture out to see so many beautiful places around. There is a supermarket, netto, is right next and very convenient to have. Only complain is that shower was cold even turned up to hot all the way. Water pressure was low. Except for that its excellent location near to the volcano and nice place to stay.

The staff was ok. We got to hotel before check in time. My husband asked if he can have a coffee and he was told it would cost him 300 Isk. We were staying with them. 2nd day we decided to go to another part of island. I told the staff that I wasn’t sure if we were going to comeback our second night. She gave me her number. I told her if we don’t come back I will call you. We decided to comeback. Got to hotel around 12:30am. Our room was given to someone else. Needless to say I won’t be going back to this hotel.

Nice, clean Grindavik Hotel
Nice, clean centrally located hotel in Grindavik. The bathroom was well organized but the bathroom fan doesn’t turn off when the light switch that controls it is turned off, but sometime later does. It also took 8 minutes for the water to get hot mid afternoon in the shower. Worked fine in the evening and next morning after coming back from volcano hikes. Receptionists was not friendly - almost distracted. I did not use the dining facilities in the limited time I had there.

The hotel is now renamed The Volcano Hotel which was rather confusing. Its a basic, decent hotel. Good access to the volcano and Blue Lagoon. Nothing to write home about but adequate for our stay. Breakfast was very basic.

It is not far from the spectacular Geldingadalir volcano and less than 30 minutes from the airport which was good for our 7.40 am flight requiring 5 am check-in because of the Covid documentation that had to be checked. When asked, a packed breakfast was put out for us (sandwich, banana, can of fizzy drink and a rock-hard peach) Less good: There was no way of knowing that the hotel has changed its name from Geo Hotel to Volcano Hotel, so it took quite a while to find it, complicated by road closures in the vicinity; rather off-hand reception, room very basic for the 2021 price, had to ask for a kettle, no shelves or drawers, just one uncomfortable desk chair in the room, no hot water in room until housekeeping ran service taps at end of corridor to pull it through (from the geysir up the road?),

Room was clean, but was smaller than usual, as we had trouble unpacking our suitcases, and had to move a desk chair to walk around the bed. Breakfast was good. Maybe it was our room, but the hotel felt that it was a converted institution; it reminded me of a college dorm.

Definitely consider staying at this hotel if you'll be staying overnight in Grindavik. Only a 10 minute drive away from the Blue Lagoon. Hotel is modern and clean. Rooms are comfortable size-wise but the bathroom can be a bit tight. Beds are comfortable. Hotel and surrounding area is quiet. Included breakfast buffet is excellent and filling. Staff is friendly and professional (we needed our clothes washed & and dried and they offered to do it for a nominal fee). Free parking and located in the center of Grindavik.
