This was our last stop of our tour of Iceland and it was exactly what we needed and wanted. We arrived about 3 hours late because of a traffic accident, however the staff were polite and welcoming when we arrived and showed us around and to our room without much fuss.The service was great throughout our time there; as they arranged a taxi for us back to the airport and even let us have breakfast early as we had to leave before they normally start it.They were also helpful in directing us on the appropriate hike to do to get to the hot springs and where we could start.
We had a very nice room that overlooked the river that was definitely one of the better rooms. The big windows and seclusion meant that with the lights off you could see the night sky perfectly, which ultimately lead to us actually being able to see the Northern Lights! The room was extremely clean when we got there and was very warm and cosy with the added benefit of not being too far away from the hot tubes.
Breakfast was a buffet breakfast with all the usual stuff you'd expect but was of very good quality. Dinner was another matter though; it was amazing and ended up being our best meal whilst we were in Iceland! The reindeer and mushroom soup was delicious and the fish of the day, salmon, was some of the best I've had for a long time.
Would definitely recommend this place.

The staff are all very helpful and friendly and kindly assisted me with some room requests and a surprise for my other half for our arrival.
We had a superior river view room which was very nicely done and had a wonderful shared balcony and a view to die for. The only thing that let this down a little was the small bathroom which was slightly dated compared to the rest of the room, however you do get robes and use of flip flops which is a nice touch.
The bed was very comfortable and the TV had some English channels.
I would question the suitability for disabled guests as lots of steps here and there but this did not affect us but may be worth noting if your needs are such.
We spent a few hours enjoying the hot tubs and even saw the Northern lights on our first nt. The sauna is lovely and the pool looks nice but isn’t heated so gave that a miss.
Breakfast is amazing with a good choice of continental meats, cheeses, bread, cereals , and you can make your own waffles. Self service coffee machine was welcome!
We ate dinner once in the restaurant once and again the food quality and atmosphere was out of this world, but very pricey as we found all over the island (£130 for 2 people eating 3 courses with 2 drinks each) well worth a visit though.
Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable relaxing stay. Will be back!

This hotel was one of many we stayed at while visiting Iceland ! The hot tubs were the highlight of our stay after days of hiking. The price was high (this coming from someone who booked high-end hotels throughout our trip) Breakfast was ok however again not the variety you can receive at other options in Iceland! The staff was sanitizing tables as people came and went from the breakfast area. The person who checked us in was very kind and walked us to our room to show us the facility. We enjoyed the scenery with steam coming from geothermal areas around the landscape. There is a hiking trail accessible from the hotel as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The hotel was a lovely location, the rooms we’re comfortable and I was able to choose the room I liked, hot tubs hot, pool cold. This was the most expensive hotel we stayed in during our trip to Iceland. I booked this hotel for my 50th birthday and wanted a particularly special evening meal (apparently the food is delicious and would have been perfect for the occasion) so booked a table of 4 people 6 months in advance and mentioned it was my actual birthday that day but on arrival I asked what time my table was for and the receptionist looked blank and suddenly said didn’t you get my letter last week. No I didn’t but why send a letter when you could have emailed me. They’d closed their kitchens for that night as not busy enough and we had to go out down the road to a more basic restaurant so was slightly disappointed in that. Breakfast was lovely. I do think this hotel is overpriced compared to the next hotel we stayed in along the south coast towards Hofn at more than half the price and had my special birthday meal there a day later.

We remained dubious about this hotel after reading recent reviews and despite them, kept our booking, and we are pleased we did.
The location is stunning, it is on a side of a river, surrounded by natural beauty, we stayed in a deluxe room with a balcony overlooking. The room was extremely clean, the bathroom looked amazing with all the facilities you need. We had bath robes and sliders allowing us ease of use to the natural hot tubs and sauna.
In reply to the recent reviews, yes some of the buildings on the outside look weathered, along with most buildings in Iceland, and with harsh winters and storms its no wondered. I can'tcomment on other rooms but ours was perfect. The hot tub (we only used one) had a few missing pebbles, and didn't look like your usual kind of hot tub, which made sense once we realised the hot water was coming from the ground, it was clean and I am so pleased we used it on, to be in a natural spa on on the side of a snowy river was truly magical.
Breakfast was fresh, and again the restaurant was very clean.
Overall we would come back, despite the price (which is high), and despite the outside decor. This is a place that has been impacted by covid restrictions in recent years and this March alone suffering from a cold spell with snow storms that is out of the hotels control, I hope they financilly survive the aftermath of both and tourism returns.

We stayed here for a couple of nights on a guided tour. I'd recommend this place for a brief romantic getaway. I agree with the reviews that describe this place as a rustic motel, but it's very charming and clean. Our small room had a great view and shared balcony overlooking the river. The bed was comfortable. We had a kettle in our room with tea, coffee, and a fabulous hot chocolate mix. The breakfast was a fine buffet that included a unique, dense, and delicious style of rye bread; the dinner at Reykr was outstanding.
The days we were there it was unsually warm and the room was warm as there is no a/c. Toiletries are provided, but there is no bar soap nor long mirrors. We tried to do some exercise on a flat area near the river, but there were too many flying insects buzzing us. They didn't bite. Rooms are cleaned daily, but because of the small staff, our room was cleaned very late in the afternoon.

This was one of the stops I was really looking forward to and it was disappointing. The rooms are small - no room for suitcases, bathrooms tiny and awkward and everything is dated. Breakfast was sparse and the dinner menu was limited and not at all child friendly - such a missed opportunity as the location is stunning but the whole place needs an upgrade and modernising or they should half the price.

My husband and I were excited to visit Iceland and this hotel until we were forced to cancel our plans two weeks before as our country restricted international travel. I requested a refund through Expedia and the hotel declined, offering only a voucher for future use. This policy is highly insensitive to the global crisis we are all facing. The most responsible policy would be to provide a full refund and CLOSE the hotel in the interest of public safety, if only for a few weeks. Travellers - re-think your reservation and support a business that has more in mind than profits.

Hello. Thank you for your input. I am sorry that you had a bad experience with our hotel. Your reservation was a non refundable one and made through a third party that you would need to contact as well in order to have the possibility to cancel free of charge. Like most small businesses in Iceland ( and throughout the world) we offered all guests who had a non refundable deal to reschedule free of charge or to receive a credit invoice that could be used any time that suits you. We are truly sorry that we cannot grant full refunds and free cancellation of non refundable deals, if we possibly could we most certainly would do so. Best regards

After having some trouble finding the reception (not well marked) we checked in to our room-we booked the deluxe/suite (can't remember exactly what they called it). The room was compact but fine. Nice view over the river. We obviously got the right time of year as we could sleep with the door open and didn't have any bugs. The bathroom was small and the shower practically flooded the floor! Heated towel rail meant we could dry some clothes which was good. We had no issues with the hotel, the layout is just a bit odd! Breakfast was ok-small but varied selections, eaten overlooking the river. We didn't eat dinner there, but ate at an amazing geothermal pizza & beer place in town.

My daughter and I stayed at the frost and fire hotel from Mon to Wed. We were welcomed at check in and shown round then to our room which was basic but warm and comfortable .. we had driven in a hire car from the airport in extremely snowy and very windy conditions, the main road was actually shut shortly after our arrival due to this but we made it through fine. We ate in the restaurant both evenings and the food was delicious very well presented and perfect portion sizes . Breakfast was fabulous .. a huge choice from cold and hot , make your own waffles,toast, breads yoghurt and an amazing shot of a green smoothy spinach apple and ginger ! We used the hot tubs and sauna but not the pool mainly because it was so very windy ( hurricane force and most unusual apparently). We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and yes it was expensive but worth it we felt and would go back .

We rented a car in Reykjavik at the airport and drove ourselves to the tourist sites. Most are free - although there is a charge for the glacier hike/ice climb - which we loved! There are no traffic lights outside of Reykjavík so driving is easy!

We had a car and it's about a 40 minute drive in fair weather.
In the summer Reykjavik Excursions have a bus service that stops in Hveragerdi but it would be a 20+ minute walk to the hotel. Sorry, don't know about other busses or winter. Obviously a taxi would but that would be pricey.
Breakfast starts at 8am. We were fine with that so we never inquired about earlier. It’s lovely - the breakfast and the setting. We arrived about 5 minutes early one morning and they ushered us to head in. Best coffee I had in Iceland.
