Frost and Fire Hotel

We stayed at this fabulous hotel for 3 nights on a bucket list family holiday in April (5 adults). From the moment we arrived we were wowed by the location. It’s secluded away from the nearby village but still walking distance to the local restaurants and brewery. All of our adventures within South-West Iceland were no more than a 1.5 hour drive away which beats staying in Reykjavik! We booked 3x superior Lake view rooms with balconies which were spacious and immaculately clean; they very much worth the money. Included in our rooms were: naspresso coffee machine, towels, robes, flip-flops, mini chocolates, mini fridge, toiletries, hair dryer. The rooms were warm and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We were lucky with the weather when we stayed with sunny days and clear nights! We even saw the northern lights from the balcony and hot pools! The highlight of our stay was the food this hotel has to offer. Breakfast was included each day and offered a wide range of hot and cold choices. I particularly enjoyed the waffles at the do-it-yourself station. The staff even allowed guests to boil their own eggs in the hot springs found at the hotel! We had dinner at the restaurant one night and I can honestly say I had the best beef I had ever tasted there, everything was so fresh! Others within our group loved the lamb too. The wine went down very well! We will definitely be back to this hotel in the future!

In a unique and stunning location, which you can enjoy best from the geothermal hot tubs! The room was spacious, modern and clean with great views. Staff were friendly and helpful and the location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area (Golden Circle) by car. The geothermal menu (food cooked in the hotel’s own hot spring) at the Varma restaurant overlooking the river was honestly the best food we’ve ever had!

Location is amazing! Walking distance to the town with many places to eat. Surrounding area had very nice walking trails, waterfall, hot springs. Staff very nice, helpful and friendly. Geothermal Hot tub was AMAZING!!! So hot, very nice in cold weather. We even seen the Northern lights few night in a row🤩

Stunning location next to the river with its own geothermal vent used for cooking some of the meals. Staff were very welcoming and helpful and upgraded our room for free. Very few guests when we stayed (late January), making it feel like we had the place to ourselves. The geothermal hot tub was fantastic and would be even better with a bit more illumination around it (although I appreciate this might detract from viewing the Northern Lights). There was a sauna and a 'relaxation' room, though we didn't use these. The food in the restaurant was absolutely superb, as it was everywhere we ate in Iceland. Don't miss a stroll up into the hills by crossing the footbridge over the river for a lovely view back over the hotel.

This was my favorite hotel during our 3 week trip to Iceland. I loved the setting on a beautiful rushing River. I loved the hot tubs and the sauna and pool. I loved the breakfast with so much variety, in a quiet, lovely breakfast room all made of glass. We had a lovely dinner I. That same dining room one night. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and attentive. Everything was just perfect.
