They are under new management since Feb 2026. They are still trying to get everything right. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. It has a wonderful view.

Amazing views of Hvalfjörður from this quirky hotel. Our room had a bed on the mezzanine floor so plenty of space below for luggage. Would have been good to have a second chair in the room but we made do with going to the lounge. Loved the bar & lounge/sitting room area - great for drinks or (free) cups of tea/coffee. Also great view from spa pools. Breakfast included cereal, skyr, fruit, pastries & eggs/bacon. No flat whites but tea & coffee. Easy parking. No lift but staff offered to help with luggage - we were ok just one floor up.

Beautiful view from the rooms on the hvalfjörður side, the dinning room and lounge area were outstanding. The staff were very helpful and attentive, we very much appreciated their attention to us as tired travelers on our first night in Iceland. The hotel manager was extremely approachable, friendly, he answered all of our questions, and gave us great information for the next few days of our adventure. The property is under new ownership as of early 2026 and they are making visible improvements. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast was also very good. We asked for our thermos to be filled with boiling water and we had hot water for tea and coffee all day! The bed was very comfortable although they are upstairs in a loft. The hotel is very quiet and we did not hear noise from other guests. Highly recommended, and we would stay here again, especially as a base hotel to hike to the Glymer waterfall on a future trip.

This property has been closed for a year. They are supposed to re-open in end 2025 or beginning 2026. Double check first

The staff were the highlight including the chef but the hotel is in dire need of a facelift, including new hot tubs.

The hotel staff were very welcoming! The meals offered and bar had excellent options, even for me when I have to eat gluten free. Hotel is a little dated but comfortable accommodations and nice size rooms and bathroom.

Villa Creativity... was simply spectacular... Rarely does a place not only meet all you’d hoped for, but exceed it... in every best way. Very special place.

Cozy and spacious rooms. Only 50 mins drive from Reykjavik but yet a good place to see northern light. Breakfast is excellent and staffs are helpful.

Second time at the Hotel Glymur for a romantic getaway. Beautiful & peaceful boutique hotel is perched on one of the largest Fjord's in Iceland. Amazing views from the main hotel, especially from the restaurant and seating area. Two wonderful hot pots overlooking the fjord at the main hotel with the larger cottages having their own hot pot. Breakfast is amazing with fresh fruits, cooked eggs, bacon, yogurts, cereals, & smoked salmon. Dinner was delicious. Hotel has a relaxed vibe and the customer service is spot on often with the staff going above and beyond. Comfy beds with cosy bedding ensure a restful night sleep. Close to Glymur falls the second tallest waterfall in Iceland.

The service was amazing. The food at the restaurant was excellent. The ONLY downside is the rooms have one large chair in the tv area and the rooms in the main lodge are three levels. The stairs to the bed (upstairs) have a metal piece that we kept hitting out feet on. Not a reason not to stay in this beautiful place but just beware.
