"We loved the hotel. Great location. Only 1 drawback was the tiny shower in our room It felt like the size you would get on a cruise ship The staff was excellent. We would stay here again I booked through Expedia and the hotel messaged me before our trip The communication was seamless from our room, restaurants and places to see"

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel. We arrived on a Saturday and were pleasantly surprised that our room was ready a couple of hours before check-in, which was greatly appreciated after traveling. We stayed in Room 808 (an executive room,) which was clean, comfortable, and appeared to have been refreshed recently. One unique feature was the shared balcony on the 8th floor, where we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights one evening. Access is through a door outside the guest rooms rather than directly from the room itself, which we actually preferred. Some rooms do have direct balcony access, so if you use the shared space, just be mindful of noise and avoid standing directly in front of other guests' doors. The breakfast was quite good. There was a nice selection of coffee and tea, eggs, bacon, sausage, skyr, fresh fruit, assorted breads, and pastries, which gave us plenty of options before heading out for the day. The only issue we encountered was that a couple of days into our stay I noticed I had been charged the full cost of the room on my credit card even though I had prepaid through Hotels.com. When I mentioned it at the front desk, the staff quickly looked into it and processed a refund right away. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was good, and the early check-in was a wonderful surprise. I'd happily stay here again and would recommend it to others visiting Iceland."

"Very nice, clean, comfortable place to stay away from Reykjavik but not too far. Plenty of free parking in front. Staff was very kind at the front desk and morning kitchen crew. Only complaint may be the smell of wet dog that lingered in the halls."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Hvaleyri?
The best area to stay in Hvaleyri is the town centre, particularly around the main square and along Hafnarbraut.This central area is the heart of Hvaleyri, offering convenient access to local shops, eateries, and key attractions. It's a compact and walkable district, making it easy to explore on foot. You'll find the Hvaleyri Museum and the main church here, both significant local landmarks.For couples looking for a relaxed and convenient stay, the town centre is ideal. You're within easy reach of cosy restaurants for evening meals and can enjoy strolls along the harbour, taking in the coastal views. It's a great base for experiencing local life without needing to travel far.Families will also find the town centre appealing due to its proximity to the community swimming pool and the town's main park, which offers plenty of space for children to play.
When is the best time to go to Hvaleyri?
The best time to go to Hvaleyri depends on whether you're seeking the summer's midnight sun and outdoor activities or the winter's potential for Northern Lights and snowy landscapes.For those prioritising warmer weather and longer daylight hours, the summer months from June to August are ideal. Temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 10°C to 15°C, and the nearly 24 hours of daylight allow for extensive exploration of the Reykjanes Peninsula and its unique geothermal features, like the Blue Lagoon. This period is great for travellers who enjoy hiking, whale watching tours from Reykjavík's Old Harbour, and general sightseeing without the worry of short days.If your primary goal is to witness the Northern Lights, then the colder, darker months from September to March offer the best chance. While temperatures can drop below freezing, and daylight hours are significantly shorter, the clear, dark skies away from city lights provide an excellent backdrop for this natural phenomenon. This time of year is also suitable for enjoying the geothermal pools and experiencing the country's snowy landscapes, perhaps with activities like glacier tours or ice cave visits.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if cancelled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
