"We saw the Northern Lights from the back window - amazing! Laundry room downstairs worked out conveniently. Great location walking distance from a grocery store too."
"We adored our time at hotel Grimsborgir! I’m a travel advisor from the US & will highly recommend this hotel to my clients. It’s beautiful.
We had building 8 all to ourselves, which also meant the hot tub was very private for us. The building was in a great location away from a lot of lights. One thing to note, there are outside building lights that can prevent you from seeing the Aurora. We actually used the blanket on the bed to cover the lights outside & we were able to have an amazing Aurora show two nights in a row! I also want to know that the hotel did not call us to let us know that they were visible, we just so happened to track on the Aurora app & spent time in the hot tub waiting for them. A few guests at breakfast the next morning were pretty upset that they missed them as the hotel did not give them the call they requested.
I would highly recommend tracking them yourselves and not relying on the hotel.
The rooms are very spacious(deluxe) w/a decent sized refrigerator, a ton of closet space, VERY comfortable beds, great shower + bath products and hot water pressure! The rooms also have a cute little balcony. The community area also had a cooking area and refrigerator with lots of dishes available. There’s also an outside grill so you could totally make your own meals there to save money.
The breakfast was outstanding!! Lots of options, But the same repetitive options each day. Totally worth it to stay here to explore the golden circle and south coast. "
"I really loved this hotel. It’s extremely comfortable, and the design feels warm and home-like rather than like a typical hotel. The common spaces are large and inviting, and the staff were all very kind and welcoming.
I was unfortunately assigned the first room right next to the common area. There wasn’t enough separation between the room and the shared space, and conversations from the common area were quite audible at night. After 10 pm, the door to the common area was still left open, so I closed it myself to reduce the noise. However, the door opening and closing was still quite loud, and the sound insulation could be improved.
Aside from this, the stay was excellent. I would happily stay here again."
"Beautiful property, everything is new and modern. We enjoyed our stay here. Keep in mind, it is a hostel style property and was a little more noisy, even in our private room, as other guests were moving about the hallways and closing doors all night to use the bathroom and such. It was not bad at all, just something that should probably be expected at this type of property. With that being said, we would certainly stay here again."
