Skeidflotur Hotels & Accommodations

We stayed here as the mid-point stop on our way to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. It is true that because it’s one of the larger hotels in the area, it is used by large tour groups, but that did not interfere with our stay at all. It is a roadside hotel, don’t expect any luxuries, but perfect for a one or two night stay. The rooms are very spacious and clean (because it’s a busy hotel, your room may not be ready before check-in time). The restaurant is large and they were able to accommodate us with no problem for dinner, and their breakfast buffet (included in the rate) is fantastic. It also has a great view. The location is great, close to Dyrholaey, Vik and Reynsfjara (black sand beach). Pro-tip: if you have dirty laundry, they will do it for you for about $25 per bag regardless of the size. I thought it was expensive so didn’t do it, and regretted it - everywhere else was either more expensive or didn’t offer the service at all. The staff works so hard - I saw the same person cleaning my room helping out at the restaurant, and everyone was very pleasant.

One night reservation. Unfortunately our flight was cancelled for 2 consecutive days. First day no problem to change the date of the reservation for the following day, but the second one when we were not able to fly to Iceland they didn´t answer our mails not even the possibility of refund o store the credit for the near future. It is true that when we requested the invoice the send us inmediately for us to claim the airline. Vacation lost and realised that people is unsupportive but greedy Reserva de una noche, por desgracia nuestro vuelo fue cancelado durante 2 días. El primero no tuvieron ningún inconveniente en cambiarnos la reserva al día siguiente, pero el segundo cuando ya no íbamos a poder viajar a Islandia después de la segunda cancelación, ni siquiera respondieron a nuestros mensajes de petición de reembolso o de crédito para usar en un futuro próximo. Eso sí, solicitamos factura y la enviaron enseguida para poder hacer la reclamación por compensación a la compañía aérea. Vacaciones perdidas y encima te das cuenta que la gente es muy poco solidaria pero sí avariciosa

We really enjoyed our stay here. It’s quiet, only about 7 rooms. The girl working when we arrived is just the nicest and so hardworking. She was a huge help the day we arrived running our drenched clothing through the dryer for us. We will be forever grateful for that. Rooms are very spacious and clean. It’s sorta middle ground, not a fancy place by any means, but also a step above basic. Breakfast was lovely and included freshly scrambled eggs. They have great blackout curtains for blocking the never setting Iceland sun. There did seem to be a bit of a funky drain smell in the bathroom at times that wafted. Location was great for getting to Vik, black sand beaches, glacier hike, etc.

Everything is good, the room is large and bright, the kitchen has everything you need, the foyer area is used as a transitional space for you to change shoes and store coats, and at the same time separates the bathroom and bedroom areas, a good spatial functional design. The only pity is the weather when we checked in...

Great location and beautiful building! Plenty of bathrooms and showers - although at peak times only cool water was available in the shower. The bedrooms were well equipped but way too hot on a sunny day. Be aware that the rooms have no locks and there is no place within the shared rooms to lock up your belongings, although there are lockers in the hallways. The bar has nice but expensive drinks. Surprisingly not social for a hostel with a bar - there were a lot of families and groups seemingly staying.

The apartment was more spacious than we imagined, more than enough room for 2 adults and 2 children. Very clean and the laundry room was an extra bonus. Location was directly on 1 walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, black sand beach, etc. staff was very helpful even when we had a late check in. I’d highly recommend this place as a stop over between Golden Circle and Glacier Lagoon!

Hotel Katla is located a few miles outside Vik. There is a central building that houses the restaurant and a number of separate buildings with guest rooms. There is an outside hot tub and a small lake. The rooms are good quality and spacious. The breakfast room is large and the breakfast was fine although we often had wait for items that had run out to be topped up. There is plenty of parking on site.

The cabin is a two-suite, the room is big enough, the facilities are good, the wooden house is backed by the cliff, facing the town of Vic, one kilometer away is the black beach. The paid breakfast is richer.
