We called into this lodge style hotel for lunch during our travels around the South of Iceland. It is well located for the falls in this area, Mt Hekla and the Golden Circle attractions. There is not an abundance of choice of places to eat around and about and this place fitted our needs and provided the diversion and sustenance... More

We stayed here for our honeymoon, it was the nicest place we stayed (was also the most expensive by far) The food was very good, as was the location. Happy Hour 2for1 made early evening drinks very reasonable. We had a riverside room with a private terrace, would have been lovelly in summer.

I had high expectations and on arrival itlooked very impressive, nice bar area downstairs (albeit small) and friendly staff. The room was small but sufficient and the breakfast spread each morning was superb. On our first evening, we dinned in the upstairs bar (be... More

Booked a honeymoon offer of 3 nights and explained it was to celebrate my partners 50th birthday and that we would arrive on this day as a surprise! I picked the hotel based on the reviews in the hope that they would make my partner feel special. On arrival I paid an agreed amount to upgrade to a suite. Unfortunately... More

The entire hotel is made of imported logs and so cozy. We had a deluxe room that was large with a huge bathroom and huge whirlpool tub. There are also several outdoor hot tubs that face a meandering river. Big, fluffy bathrobes are provided so you can make it to the hot tub in comfort. The hotel has one of... More

Stayed here for 2 nights with our 7 year old grandson. Wonderful! After a long day touring it just gets everything so right. The views are stunning, especially in the dining room with the windows on three sides. Great fun sitting in the hot tub (put on a hat if there's a cold wind). The food is beautiful and the... More

Our tour took us here after a long and fulfilled day of activities so that we might have a chance to view the Northern Lights. I'm not sure what other hotels are in the vicinity, but this is an excellent choice. First, let me say this hotel is in the middle of no where and that's part of its charm.... More

We really enjoyed the luxury of staying at the Hotel Ranga as our trip to Iceland was coming to a close. The hotel is beautifully appointed and the standard of food was very high, though a little pricey. Very friendly reception staff pointed us to the wonderful little visitor centre a short drive away to see and hear first hand... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Hotel Ranga is a luxury countryside hotel and the only 4 star resort in South Iceland. It offers all the facilities and services of a modern resort. Located about an hour from Reykjavík between the towns of Hella and Hvolsvöllur, it lies just off the main road right in middle of South Iceland’s panoramic scenery. The resort is built in log-cabin style and has through the years acquired an excellent reputation for its food, accomodation and service. It is the first Icelandic hotel to become a member of the prestigious international hotel chain Great Hotels of the World. A celebrity hot spot, top honeymoon destination and favorite hotel amongst Icelanders, Hotel Rangá also offers great facilities for small business meetings, weddings and social gatherings. One cannot miss feeling welcome entering its warm interior where relaxed countryside feeling meets the professional ambition of pleasing its entire clientel. Upon entering Hotel Ranga, you will be greeted by a towering 10-foot tall polar bear named Hrammur that resides in the lobby. He is a favorite model for photographers and is definitely one of the most pictured objects in Iceland. This is just a prelude to the cozy ambience that you will encounter that vibrates throughout the hotel. Hótel Rangá was upgraded and renovated in 2007/2008 and presently has 51 luxuriously decorated rooms and suites. It also features an acclaimed riverside restaurant, a lounge and bar, 2 upstairs meeting rooms, a game room, massage facilities and three much beloved outdoor hot tubs heated with geothermal water - where there is an excellent chance to view the fantastic northern lights during September through April. ... more   less
