4-Star Hotels in Southern Peninsula, Iceland

This hotel is a good choice for staying the night before returning, as it's located near the airport. There's nothing much around, so you'll need a car if you want to go anywhere. The room was spacious, but there was no temperature control, and it felt a bit chilly inside.

We visited in late December 2025. - My child had high expectations for the duplex room, so we booked it and were very satisfied. - The front desk, breakfast area, and room service staff were all friendly and professional. - There's a heated pool on the second floor, close to the temperature of a hot spring, with an automatic lock when entering, and well-equipped changing and showering areas. (The Blue Lagoon is also nearby, so you can visit it.) - The view overlooking the pier and the city was beautiful. - It was quite crowded considering it was off-season. Even after many people checked out, all services, including dinner and breakfast, continued as normal, which was nice. The three-course dinner was delicious. - They offer their own airport shuttle service, so you can relax at the end of your stay and arrive at the airport on time, stress-free. - Just down the hill is the beautifully decorated Troll Cave. It's a great place to show off your kids or let them play rock-paper-scissors to get in on their own. (It's funny during the day, but scary after dark.) - Along the coast, there's an old fishing boat on display, and toward the city center, there's a nice Italian restaurant called Anton's Mamma Mia.

The room and shower were on the compact side. The shuttle service to the airport is convenient; however, I had pre-booked a transfer, but on the morning of my departure, I was told it couldn't be arranged because the room hadn't been paid for. Only after showing proof of my prepaid booking did they reluctantly arrange the shuttle, which caused a delay. On top of that, there wasn't even an apology. The service attitude was truly poor.

The hotel is very close to the airport. It's great if you're catching a flight. The area around it is quite lively and has a lot of food. There's a bar downstairs. Foreigners like to drink, so sometimes the rooms near the bar can be noisy at night.

The hotel is quite good; the hygiene and facilities are excellent and relatively new. It's close to the airport, and they gave us a corner room which was spacious. We added an extra bed, and it was still quite quiet at night.
