Volcano hotel

Our room was so spacious - we are a family of 5. Breakfast was excellent and staff was friendly. We were a little outside of Vik which was a perfect location.

Small hotel but lovely, and the food was wonderful.

Place and people were fantastic!!!

Spacious, clean room

You are able to see the ocean between the two mountains when looking from the front of the building. The husband and wife running things were personable and friendly and very helpful.

Easy check in, nice room, got to see the northern lights from our window!

The staff was amazing and welcoming. The rooms were very spacious. Beautiful views. I was able to walk outside and see the northern lights.

Clean rooms. Great size for a family of 4. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.

This place looks like nothing from the road. Probably an farmhouse at one point. They had some nice Christmas lights on the building to cheer it up. They are maybe 5 miles (8 km) west of Vik. The road to town goes up and over, with some switchbacks, so it could be dicey for tourists in the winter if the weather is bad. I was traveling with my daughter, so the room with two beds (room #2) worked out well. I really liked this place. The young man who checked us in was friendly and effective. The room was nice and clean and quiet. We had flown in from the USA, arrived at Reykjavik at 7 am local time and spent the next 12 hours sightseeing and driving, so when we got to Volcano Hotel, we were tired. Ran into town for dinner. They leave the front door of the hotel unlocked and go home for the night, so that tells you how safe things are. There are not many other businesses or people around. The hotel has a southern view and you can see the ocean not too far way. The shower was a bit odd for an American, but I have no complaints. The water was hot and the water pressure was good. No surprise in Iceland. The bathroom was large and clean. The breakfast was the best we had in Iceland in our 4 days. Included with the room. A young man cooked us scrambled eggs to order, but the items they had out for us were excellent. (Breads, cheeses, meats, etc) The little espresso/latte/coffee machine was a nice added bonus.

Welcoming staff who were available and accommodating. There was a good variety of choices for breakfast.

Good room for the price, northern lights views

Very friendly staff

Very clean rooms and super helpful staff. Lovely breakfast

Although we only stayed one night, the place was charming and was very nice. There were no light pollution around, and it felt like the perfect place to view the northern Lights. Unfortunately, the night we stayed, it was very cloudy. The staff was great! Very helpful. We loved the personalized service during breakfast. The mountains and ocean view was great! We highly recommend this place.

Breakfast was good

Breakfast was good. Staff very friendly. Clean room.

We got the room with the ocean view, and we had a nice sitting area on a wood deck overlooking the ocean. Breakfast was wonderful and the selection was great. One of the friendly staff shared with us that we could hike behind the hotel up a hill and it overlooked a beautiful lake with two glaciers as we crossed the top!! we walked back along a little stream, which was the spillway for the glacier Lake and came upon a black sand hill that was like a gorge between two mountains as we hiked. This was one of the great places we stayed in Iceland.

Very clean and large rooms. The staff, especially Paulina, were very friendly and helpful. The view is fantastic.

Staff was excellent. Room was clean. Breakfast was a nice spread with a scrambled egg, breads, meats & cheeses. This is a good basic hotel. I would stay here again if I were coming back to Vic.

A small and intimate hotel about 15 minutes from the black sand beach near Vik. A bit isolated but quiet and convenient stop on the ring road with great food (dinner, which you have to reserve ahead and the main is a choice between char, lamb and a salad), yummy cheese board and the food was cooked well and tasty. Good breakfast selection although we did not know we could have gotten freshly scrambled eggs until we had filled up on the other breakfast choices. Spacious room with deck which would have been great to see an aurora from but unfortunately not during our stay. Shower could have been bigger, only negative.
