Hótel Kvika

Clean, great food, friendly staff, nice hot tub and sauna

The rating is actually 4.5 and its just because on our first day, our towels smelled so musty so we had to have them replaced. Also the corridors can be very noisy especially since the doors are heavy and slams if not guided to a close. If your room is close to the Spa, the geothermal smell (sulphurish) can be smelt in your room though that is not the hotels fault at all. The reason I continued to give it 5 stars though is because these things are bearable and is not entirely a deal breaker for me. The bed was comfortable, the room was warm and breakfast was great. You can also see the northern lights when the sky is clear and the timing is great. I would still come back and stay here.

This hotel was located in a quiet but convenient area. Rooms were large and comfortable. Breakfast was decent and included in the price. Check out time seemed a bit early (10AM when breakfast was served through 10AM) but still reasonable. We would definitely stay again!

An amazing place to stay after a long, adventurous day relaxing in the sauna and hot baths is the perfect way to unwind. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of options and is a fantastic start to the day. Complimentary coffee, cookies, and fruit available throughout the day are a wonderful bonus. The staff are incredibly helpful and kind. Highly recommended.

We loved this hotel. Lovely staff, and great facilities. Breakfast was great, and hot drinks and juice available all the time. The two hot tubs would have been a great place to watch the northern lights from had it not been cloudy! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Boutique hotel just outside Selfoss in the middle of a picturesque location nestled in the hills. Rooms are spacious and well-equipped. The sauna and the hot tub are exactly as advertised. Breakfast had a lot of options and they also has some cakes and cookies at all hours in the lobby. Overall very good experience and would definitely come back.

Quiet hotel, decent room, excellent breakfast

The breakfast menu was excellent, parking convenient and we had great views of the Aurora.

Great location for us doing the golden circle. Nice outdoor hot tube and sauna . Hallways where noisy with other guests .

Very ggo place but a little bit isolated

If you need to stay in this general area, this is a basic hotel with no frills. The bathroom was really lacking with hardly any toiletries and a shower that barely worked. The included breakfast buffet, gets the job done, but it's nothing noteworthy. The staff did help correct a room problem from booking by offering a rollaway bed which made the stay feasible for one night. It is not close to restaurants, so plan accordingly as there are quite a few restaurants in the nearby town.

Great location and facility

We were checking in late and I received a call to give me Instructions on check in, door code etc. when we arrived the lobby was closed and dark. There was a personal note on the desk with tea lights with our room number and key, breakfast info etc. There were snacks left out for us. Fruit, cakes, juice etc. The room was very spacious, clean, furniture mismatched, making it charming and eclectic! Beds were very comfortable. Very nice sitting areas off lobby with books and games. Did not use hot tub due to late arrival. Free breakfast was plentiful, with much variety. We stayed in a different hotel every night while in Iceland, and this was our favorite. In the middle of nowhere it was a true hidden gem. The personal phone call from the manager to confirm our arrival and leaving us snacks was awesome. There’s a lot to be said for the little things.The personal service was top notch. Morning clerk was a lovely young lady, very helpful to all the guests. Loved our stay, would definitely stay again. Such a wonderful.

Excellent stay, the friendliest and most enjoyable stay on any of our Icelandic trips.

For what we paid, we got an amazing deal compared with other hotels that we paid double that! For under $200, you get very decent breakfast. Access to hot tub, sauna, floors are heated in the room bathroom, as well as towel rack is heated too! We stayed at "fancy" hotels afterwards that end up costing us $500 per night and they didn't even offer half of what Kvika provided.

Good place and folks running it.

Wonderful property in Iceland with kind and attentive staff.

Very comfortable stay at Kvika hotel. The hot tub and sauna were the highlight! Clean and tidy, good breakfast and welcoming staff. We had a pleasant stay!

Great little place for a stay near Selfoss. The rooms are clean and easy parking. Hot tub and sauna out back is a nice addition, and the free breakfast in the morning had a wide selection, from waffles and pancakes to bacon and eggs. The lady at reception was very kind and welcoming. Thanks for the stay!

By far the best value of the hotels we stayed in. A welcoming host who offered excellent travel advice, free cookies, cake, tea and coffee in the evening. Breakfast was the equal of hotels costing twice as much. Honestly, I was kind of sorry that this was the first hotel we stayed at in Iceland, because it made all the others seem disappointing! Would definitely go out of my way to stay here again.
