Hotels With Bars in Southern Region, Iceland

Hótel Grímsborgir is absolutely fantastic! The location is super convenient, right next to the Golden Circle, making it easy to drive to all the attractions. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and each one has its own private hot tub or a shared one. Soaking in the hot tub and stargazing at night is incredibly therapeutic~ The breakfast spread is varied and fresh, and the staff are all very enthusiastic. I definitely want to stay here again on my next trip to Iceland! Highly recommended for self-driving travelers looking to relax!

The good: - Breakfast was very good! - Room and bed was warm. - hot water shower works almost instantly. - Netflix and Amazon Prime available on the TV. Can be improved: - toilet slide door emited loud screeching sound which was annoying. - poor sound isolation between floors, we stayed on the ground floor and we could hear stomping the whole night. We feedback this to the hotel staff but was just given a “I cannot do anything about it” face and a shoulder shrug which clearly indicated they did not have the intention to do anything about it. - phone in the room was not working, staff had to reboot it as they said it’s a common issue. - the air vent in the bathroom stopped moving after sometime, was told to turn it off and on again to make it work again. - we checked in the same time as another couple at the reception, we overheard that they got a complementary room upgrade from the standard room (same as us). We asked if we would be upgraded as well, staff just told us that it depends on the amount we paid for the room. But clearly we booked the same standard room? Overall: Room rate was on the high side and much was expected but the condition of the room and service were under delivered.

We have a 1 night stay at Midgard Camp during our 9 days road trip in Iceland. It is our 2nd stop hotel of our trip. Though the room are not big, but it is comfortable, good and cosy enough for all. The family rooms comes with 1 double bed plus 1 bunk bed enough for all 4 of us. The whole place is very vibrant, friendly staff, nicely decorated and energetic yet peaceful and quiet for individual enjoyment. The whole place is very well maintained and It is very clean even the common toilet as I bathe there to avoid waiting for our private toilet to save some time. The common kitchen is for all guests and is well equipped. We cooked our hot meal as well as breakfast there. We can also enjoy the complementary coffee/tea from the hotel paid breakfast. Overall, We enjoy our stay there even though it is just 1 night. The location is easily found with the GPS, you wouldn't miss it. Highly recommended this place. Also, really appreciate the friendly staff giving us a round tour of the place explaining where are the common toilet, hot bathe tub, dryer for our swim wear should we use the hot bathe tub and sauna. This is indeed exceed our expectation actually. 10/10!

This Hotel provided us with a fantastic stay. It is clean, the staff are very attentive but not overbearing. Our room was very clean, but there were a couple of small drawbacks. There was a small desk, but no wardrobe for clothes. It would have served better to do away with the desk and provide somewhere to unpack our cases and hang clothes. My wife and I lived out of our suitcases for the duration. Also, there didn't seem to be any ground-floor rooms and there was not a lift. So, I think this would be unsuitable for guests in wheelchairs or severe difficulties with stairs (it would be wise to contact the Hotel directly to confirm this if you are in this position). The food was excellent and quite well priced for Iceland ( food and drink in Iceland is NOT cheap ). Overall, we both enjoyed our stay very much and would gladly book again. Hotel, staff and food were all 100%.

Stayed at The Fox Hostel from Nov 23–24, 2025. The facilities were clean and well maintained, and the staff was very kind and helpful. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights, and the room was spacious enough for two people. I would definitely love to stay here again.. 2025.11.23 비크에서 요쿨살론 & 다이아몬드비치 가는중에 the fox hoste 에서 하루를 묵었고, 시설이 깨끗하게 운영되고 있고, 주변에 빛이 많이 없어 오로라를 보기에 좋음. 데스크에서 안내하시는 분도 매우 친절함.

My favourite hotel pick during my 7-day trip in Iceland. Location was not perfect but if you are driving from Vik to Reykjavik- spending a night in between at this hotel and get a restful night would be a highlight. Nice, new, styled and clean, with excellent seaview as it is attached to a black sand beach. Not with good connection to the 5G network but WiFi is good. And for the restaurant - you will regret if you are not trying this if you are staying there for a night! Dinner was excellent and impressive! So as the complimentary breakfast. Definitely recommending this to everyone if you are looking for an unforgettable highlight stay in Iceland. I think there should be a high chance for seeing northern lights there if the weather is ok.

Facilities: Very good, the heating was excellent. No elevator though. Hygiene: Clean, hygienic, and well-maintained. Environment: Great location, right by the sea with ocean views. Service: The front desk manager was very welcoming and thoughtful during check-in, even helping guests with their luggage. However, the housekeeping department was poor. They unauthorizedly opened and discarded items that guests had left behind in their room.

Upon arrival, the staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they efficiently checked me in and provided me with all the information I needed about the hotel's amenities and the surrounding area.

Just got back from Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, and my stay at Gerdi Guesthouse was incredibly satisfying! The location is super convenient; it's just a few minutes' drive to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, making it a perfect base for exploring the glacier region. The guesthouse itself is very quiet, ensuring a good night's sleep. While the rooms are simple, they are tidy and clean, with comfortable beds, sufficient heating, and all the basic amenities. What truly stood out was the warm service! The front desk staff were very friendly and communicative, which made us feel very welcome. Overall, Gerdi is an excellent value-for-money option. It perfectly met all our core needs for comfort, convenience, cleanliness, quietness, and warm hospitality. As a functional and comfortable guesthouse, it truly excels. I highly recommend it to anyone self-driving to Jökulsárlón and the Vatnajökull glacier area who is looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay!

A beautiful hotel, spacious room with a bath in the room, very good breakfast, coffee/tea in the room,
