Good value for money. Hotel's in the countryside with a view over Dyrholaey beach. The Northern Lights appeared spectacularly the night we stayed there which was a bonus. Rooms comfortable and spotless. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast. Only negative was we arrived at about 8pm and they said it was too late to eat there. Vik however is just a... More

We stayed here for one night during our trip along the south of Iceland. We didn’t have many hotel options, but this turned out to be great. Free wi-fi, great views of the local area, and the same basic breakfast we got at most hotels. I am a lighter sleeper, and had no trouble sleeping here. Overall a more basic... More

Not a bad place, but don't expect anything spectacular while in the Vik area. While we were there the place was full of British school children, but the layout of the hotel minimized the impact that they had. The meals were decent, but definately not anything to write home about as it were. Never managed to find anyone working at... More

When we arrived for two nights prebooked stay, the owner was very apolagetic that the hotel was full of school chilren (British!) and offered us a free dinner and removal to another hotel further down the road. it seemed to us as if the place was undergoing some reconstruction and wasn't finished, but we were extremely impressed by the meall...

Hotel Dyrholaey is a great base for visiting the south coast of Iceland, we stayed in February and were the only guests. Its a stunning setting up on a hillside overlooking the sea. They are currently in the process of adding extra rooms but this was not a problem when we stayed. Definitely worth staying for dinner the fish soup,... More

This hotel takes it's name from an "island" on the southes part of Iceland "Dyrholaey" which is a must see. The wiew there to the Atlantic Ocean is unbelievable. The hotel is first of all very clean and friendly. Food is exelant and staff is very helpful and always ready to assist in any way. I've been there several times... More

The hotel was located on a hillock and the view of the North Atlantic Ocean was simply superb,and the hotel owner was very friendly and approachable and our actual stay was for 1 night, though we extended by another night as it was an awesome experience. Nice breakfast and a very good spread. Nice compact twin rooms and very clean... More

We stayed here one night as part of our southern coast self-drive tour. The hotel was great, the room was clean, we had free wireless and a good breakfast. Not many places to stay around Vik, but I'm sure this was the best! We opted to have dinner in town on a cold and rainy night ... it was magical!

Have stayed here before and am quite happy with service, hotel and standard of food. No, it isn't top notch, but you aren't paying top price either! This time the room was clean and spacious. Bathroom excellent. Area is quiet and the views phenomenal! Staff work hard as there can be a lot of people in if there are several... More

This hotel is several miles outside of Vik which we didn't realize. The weather was also pretty bad when we were there which put a bit of a damper on our stay. Nonetheless, the room was spacious (although the bathroom particularly basic) and clean. We had a view of the coast which, despite the rain and clouds, was beautiful. We... More
