Spa Hotels in Myrdalshreppur

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.

This was probably the biggest disappointment of our trip. It was the stay we were most looking forward to. The photos posted online led us to believe these cottages were in a quiet seaside nook where we would be able to sit on our deck and watch the ocean. We were shocked when we arrived. The cottages are in the busy little town core (lots of road noise), and between the cottages and ocean are commercial buildings and new hotel builds completely cutting off any ocean view. What’s more, directly in front of the cottages is a giant lot that filled with a huge field of no less than 50 families in campers outside our front door for the night. The cottage itself was plain with no artwork, beds were hard. Our TV did not work. Despite many tried we couldn’t get it to connect to Netflix or anything watchable other than BBC news. Our friends froze in their cottage. There is no soundproofing. Our friends shared the adjoining cottage (they are all joined with one another) and we heard every noise, their tv and most especially any time they left their room to go outside it would wake us up. The lock didn’t work properly so we couldn’t lock the front door at night. The bathroom is postage stamp sized without room for a shower so swing doors get popped out to shower. I spent the next 15 mins wading in 2 inches of water as I tried to dry off and get ready for the day. My husband had to use towels to stop the water flowing into the bedroom. Everyone else chose not to shower because of it. Hours later the floor hadn’t drained fully still. If you are going to stay here, taper your expectations.

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.

Very comfortable hotel with great facilities, friendly staff, good location, right next to the church in the town, there is a gas station and a small supermarket opposite, hot dogs are delicious!

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!

Nice hotel property in beautiful little Vik. A very welcoming and pleasant staff greeted us. We chatted with the check in person plus bartender and both were easy to talk to and shared their experience of living in Iceland. The room was reasonably priced, comfortable and just right for our one night in town. The restaurant is situated so diners have a nice Mountain and church view, plus the food was very good. Breakfast buffet was way above average and included in the price. Our only regret was our lack of time we could spend in Vik, so many places, so little time.

Very small room, clean public bathroom, full kitchen facilities, close to the beach and church, and a restaurant next to it.

The stay at Guesthouse Carina was like staying over at a friends', or a family member's house. As soon as I stepped in the door, I got homey vibes and my room really exceeded my expectations. My room was on the ground floor between one toilet and one bathroom which I thought was great, and all bathrooms and the toilet were clean and inviting. I did hear people talk outside the door, but not to a degree that it was disturbing me. There was a pair of ear plugs on the shelf, so it seems they are aware that some guests are more disturbed by people talking outside their doors. I hadn't booked my stay to include breakfast initially, but on the day of check-in I got an offer to book breakfast for 1900 ISK, so I did. The breakfast was served in the glass patio, which had a beautiful view of Vik and the black sand beach and the breakfast was really good. I loved the homemade Icelandic rye bread, it tasted like gingerbread cake! If I ever go back to Vik, I will definitely try to book a room at Guesthouse Carina again.
