This is an incredibly beautiful hotel. The room is well appointed with everything you could need including c-charging adapters built in to the headboard. The bed is the most comfortable bed in all our stays throughout Iceland. The breakfast in unreal and the selection of fresh, quality food is unlike any hotel breakfast I've ever had. The view surrounding the hotel is really beautiful and parking is plentiful. The hotel provides robes and slippers for the hot tub and the view of the glacier and mountains is perfect while you soak. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the stay and room service is lightening fast!

The location was ideal for our needs, in the middle of the golden circle route, was able to tick off lots of sites, A car is essential though, Breakfast was perfect for what we wanted, when we asked about places to eat, The Greenhouse was recommended, we ended up going there every night, thanks for the tip. lots of parking space available, 3 or 4 separate communal areas available if we weren't wanting to stay in our bedroom, hopefully return to Iceland to finish off our tour, but will need to space out our hotels around Iceland, Thanks to all the staff at Hotel Kvika

I loved absolutely everything about this manor. It was refined-country, cozy, crisp, and sophisticated-for-Iceland without being pretentious or minimalistic. Painted wooden panels, lush couches and beds that you sink into, spacious bathrooms. Beyond the decor being truly attractive, the staff was always smiling and helpful. After a freezing trip under the Seljalandsfoss waterfall's spray, I felt my extremities again in their clean sauna and further rejuvenated in the pool looking directly out into the landscape. Food was delicious with intriguing combinations of tastes. Parking was free and plentiful, access from the main road was simple, yet removed from the fray. I highly recommend this hotel/manor.

The location was perfect for exploring the area and for walking out to get dinner in the evening. The staff (reception, breakfast, and cleaning personnel were) friendly and helpful. They gave thoughtful advice. On our last evening the receptionist made sure we knew about the ‘end of Christmas’ Santa Claus procession, which was a great way to end our visit. The breakfast was very nice with many options. We met in the breakfast area in the evening to play games as a family, and in addition to free coffee, cocoa and tea there, we could buy drinks and crisps from reception. Three of us booked time at the spa and it was very relaxing. Our decision to stay at this hotel was very last minute because road conditions made our original cabin difficult to access. We were all very pleased with the hotel!

The staff is amazing, very nice, helpful, it responds super fast and is very willing to help. The restaurant and drinks were great. Local food. Good recommendations for drinks. And, they don't push you to spend a lot of money. The room was clean and looked new. It was great for a night or several nights or days. You can easily chill out in that hotel in the room, the common areas or in the bath tub. Possibility to horse ride.

Having to 'get around Ring Road' definitely has its drawbacks. The biggest one we found was when you found a great place, your time there was limited. We did stop for the Lava Show in Vik, which was great, and we had dinner there as well. There was not enough time to really see everything before having to move on.

Iceland is a very expensive place to travel and this guest house was average price for Iceland but the quality of the rooms were low average. Our room had such a bad slope on it we had to sleep at the other end of the bed with our heads above our feet. The bathroom had a toilet in the middle of the room, you had to walk around it to get to the shower and even though the room came with breakfast included it was very poor quality.

Great place in south of Iceland.

Great place in south of Iceland. The town of "flowers" is a good name for this place, as it is the warmest place in Iceland, where they grow flowers and enjoy life. It has the best swimming pool of the whole country, with an amazing "steam room" that is heated with steam straight from the vulcanic core of our planet.

We enjoyed the cabin we stayed in. The bedding was very nice and the kitchen perfectly stocked with dishes. The playground was fun. The office sells some camping supplies. There are not enough showers, only one for each gender. The kitchen/cooking area is bare bones. There are some nice tables inside. The staff was very helpful and kind.
