Premier Hotel Cabin Reykholt

"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Laugarvatn. The staff was incredibly accommodating, always going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located near Geysir and other major Golden Circle attractions, which made exploring the area so easy. There’s also a path for a mountain hike right across from the hotel, which was a great bonus and made the stay even more memorable. The peaceful setting by the lake added to the experience, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. I would definitely stay here again. They also have great coffee!!!"

"Great location for exploring the southern coast, and the property is clean with beautiful views. Our cabin was sandwiched between the communal parking lot out front and an active construction site out back, complete with exposed septic infrastructure and loose wiring. The construction lights also impacted stargazing and northern lights viewing. The advertised hot tub turned out to be communal, attached to the reception building, and far enough from the cabins that you need to drive there. WiFi was weak in the cabin. The accommodation felt tired and cramped for a family of five. Mattresses were uncomfortable, and supplies were stingy: two toilet paper rolls for five people over four nights, and no shampoo or conditioner, just body wash. Every other place we stayed in Iceland covered the basics. Extra-fee signage throughout added to a transactional feel. The breakfast is marketed as a highlight (and priced at around $100 for five). Ours wasn’t. Tomatoes and cucumbers were past their best, bacon was undercooked and fatty, fruit was unripe, and the muffins tasted off enough that the kids each tried one and stopped. We’d had a nearly identical spread at Efstidalur that was genuinely our favorite breakfast in Iceland. Go there instead. We left after one night of a four-night stay. The front desk comped the breakfast, which was kind. A partial refund for unused nights would have gone further, but wasn’t offered."

"Breakfast included mimosas! "

"We had booked a room at Litli Geysir Hotel but the day of we received notice that we had been upgraded to stay at the new Hotel Geysir. This hotel is directly across from the Strokkur Geysir so no complaints on the location. The beds in our room were fantastic. The room would have been better if it had a mini fridge and ice bucket. We had dinner at the restaurant and free breakfast in the morning. Both had plenty of options. The staff were friendly and still learning the place but it was clean and had large open lounge areas with interesting art. And after a night snowfall, they plowed the parking lot immediately. "

"The beans and the bacon were both cold and this was at 7:35! I would not be expecting this. Supposedly they were in a heated dish. They definitely were cold however! Staff were quite blunt when asked about gym timings. Nowhere even in their own website does it state timings, so disappointed when wanting to use it at 7;30 before leaving for the day and told I can’t due to rooms above. I understand that but either sound proof the rooms or make it clear on both their own and third party websites the limitations! Hot tub was not in use either, supposedly due to weather. Again something that needs to be informed on third party websites, also that April is classed as winter in Iceland "

"We enjoyed our stay in the bubble, there are not any on-site staff and while we did not run into any issues, you need a land line to call to contact for assistance. We were able to see the northern lights and the bed was nice and toasty warm, overall an enjoyable experience. "

"Beautiful view from our room. Room was clean. Didn’t make it to the hot tub but looked nice."

"The cottage was functional but quite basic and the supplies were limited to hand soap and coffee. I was also badly bitten during the night by some midge or similar although the rest of my family were not (although they noticed small flies in the bedrooms) so this was a bit unlucky. That said I would put up with the bugs a thousand times over for the northern lights we were able to see. It was a great location."

"Highly recommended!"
