Hótel Dyrhólaey

The hotel is in a good location but is patronaged by tour groups so, dinner and breakfast is a little crazy. Buses were blocking the good view. We did request a room change for the better view.

Great location for the aurora borealis.

Newly renovated but needs a few finishing touches. The rooms were brand new, warm, large and clean. No TV was installed yet. Breakfast buffet was tasty.

Room was very good albeit the hotel i s in an expansion phase so the elevator to the 2 nd floor wasn’t working. The dining room; food was excellent and very nicely prepared, seating and table placement was set too institutional with long tables to accommodate bus tours which left couples with few options.

We were given a room in the newest section of the hotel. It was very nice with plenty of room and very quiet. Apparently, we were one of the first that day to be given a room in the newer section, and it was a bit odd to start walking down a dark hallway, however, the motion detect lights came on quickly and we found our room with no problem. The breakfast was very good with a large selection of items.

Nice hotel with very welcoming staff. Great restaurant with good breakfast! Parts of the hotel are still in work and constructions so that was some what disturbing, other than that all was wonderful

We arrived here around 6.30 pm for our check in. As I walked up to the reception, the receptionist very rudely without greeting or introducing herself asked me my name and asked me to spell it out. Did not check any id or anything, simply gave me the room key and pointed to the dinner/breakfast area with the hours and pointed the direction of the room. They call it hospitality for a reason. We took the key went to our room to be surprised to be be given 3 single beds instead of the 2 biger beds we paid for. If we were friends or family, all good. As a couple horrible idea to be sleeping on a single bed. I was about to head back to the reception, till about 3 big tour buses drove and hundreds of people were at the reception. It would be hours before we could speak to anyone let alone the first interaction. We decided to just accept it as is and slept the night. Next day morning, the breakfast again was rather average from what we had eaten in other hotels in Iceland. For paying over $200 a night, we felt this hotel was not worth it at all. Poor customer service, below average stock rooms for the tour buses that come through and average breakfast. Save your money so somewhere else.

Clean hotel, large bright room overlooking the ocean. Check in was easy and staff was helpful. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely stay here again. Less than 10 minutes from black sand beaches.

It was great, views were beautiful staff was very friendly and helpful

We stayed in a double room with a “garden view” that was incredible—it was private and we could see a glacier from our room! The free breakfast buffet was incredible—over 8 types of bread, jams, cold fish, sliced cheese, salami, tomatoes, oatmeal, yogurt, fresh fruit, juices, coffee, and more. Downsides: Room was basic and bathroom had limited hot water, and was missing a hand towel.
