Overall Ratings & Reviews Hótel Dyrhólaey

Great location for our Iceland road trip.

Free parking outside. NB it is a large hotel with several sections so check in to find where you are staying before unloading. Reception staff were friendly and our room was in main building with restaurant. Surprisingly quiet and modern room. Comfortable with just the frequent issue in Iceland....the black out curtains lack sufficient material to fully cover the window, otherwise fine. There are lots of tour groups in the hotel. We had booked a meal for 8pm which worked ok. Not greatly impressed with the quality of the offering in the buffet but it filled a hole. We were warned that the tour groups eat breakfast 7-8 so it gets crowded but we were ok at 8am and reasonable choice available. Staff working hard to keep on top of things.

Highly recommended

Expensive hotel given the facilities. Very clean and nice staff but older hotel and basic decor and services. Online it made it seem like you were right near/on the black sand beach but you are a 10 min drive away.

Wonderful property and amazing staff so accommodating and helpful!

Hótel has great views as it is up on a hill facing the Black Sand Beach, perfect stop for those heading East. Hótel has some age, not much amenities but works for us just for one night. Cheaper rate than the hotels at Vik.

The views from this guesthouse were beautiful. It’s perched on top of a hill and you’re able to look out onto the water and black sand beach. Loved how rustic the reception and bar was. The lounge area was so cool, filled with vintage furniture and needlepoints. Highly recommend staying here and talking to people from all around the world in the lounge or breakfast area.

Pros: location is in a nice area of the country; friendly staff; great breakfast buffet options. Cons: wish they had actual blackout blinds. It was quite bright in the room at 4 am. Overall, pretty representative of a 3-star hotel.

Clean, quiet with amazing views. About a 10 min ride outside of Vik.

This property was a great location, clean and simple. Very functional for our needs.

Perfectly located hotel nestled atop a hill. Stunning views of the ocean and surrounding landscape. Our room was rather large and the beds were comfortable. During our stay we were able to watch the Northern lights from the hotel parking lot. Overall wonderful experience!

Wonderful location and beautiful views!

Hotel staff was very nice, room was really clean and views were impeccable.

Over priced. We were expecting a high end hotel. Reminded me of an upgraded work camp.

Nice location for trying to see sights around Vik. Bit of an older hotel but for the price it was a good value and a decent stay. Would stay again

This is an easy to access hotel from ring road (route 1). Rooms were good, beds very nice. The property had good views if you take a walk, but the rooms did not. My one comments is this is very much a tour bus hotel. At least 5 busses of people were there when we were. This caused the dining rooms at dinner to be very full and breakfast to be very busy at times. We could not have dinner at property due to the number of bus groups having the buffet dinner and us not making reservations ahead of time, but the breakfast was excellent, it had by far the most fruit of any breakfast we had in Iceland.

Wonderful breakfast

Amazing staff and the view is to die for!
