Located within 3 km of Kirkjugólf and Systrafoss twin waterfalls, Magma Hotel offers accommodation in Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Rooms are modern with Nordic design and free WiFi. Views of the lava-fields, black sand river and even Vatnajäkull Glacier can be enjoyed from the hotel. We loved everything, starting with the big room with amazing views and finishing with the fancy speakers! After being in 10 different hotels in Iceland, this one was absolutely our favorite. Breakfast is nice too.

Set 500 metres from Black Sand Beach, Hotel Vík í Mýrdal offers 3-star accommodation in Vík and has a fitness centre, a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. Our stay at the Vik I Myrdal was superb. The staff were helpful and very friendly. We had a deluxe suite and had a floor to ceiling view of Reynisdrangar. Birds were nesting outside our window, and the hotel supplied binoculars for our viewing pleasure. The breakfast buffet each morning was amazing with lots of tasty selections. Our dinners at the Berg Restaurant were superb. We HIGHLY recommend a stay here.

This eco-friendly hotel, 30 minutes’ drive from Reykjavik, is surrounded by nature in the town of Ölfus. It offers free use of an outdoor wooden hot tub and arranges Icelandic horse riding tours on site. Nice nostalgic clean hotel. Very good for the price. Staff was very friendly and breakfast was quite good. Even if you dont want to ride a horse, you can actually pet them.
