スナイフェルスネス半島の氷河や海岸線を見渡せる雄大な眺望がすばらしい。"Welcome to Another World"という歓迎文句は嘘ではない。17世紀には交易の中心地だったという地域の歴史を偲ばせるものは残っていないが、周辺の教会や溶岩台地を歩くだけでも楽しい。ここからスナイフェルスネス半島を一周すると約200kmで、観光の拠点としても便利。 ２晩のディナーは私の10日間のアイスランド旅行の最高の食事となった。宿の規模が小さいので食材の種類は限られているが、シェフのアイデアは天才的。Beetrootは他の店でも出しそうなメニューだが、Celeryrootをメインディッシュに仕立てる技は驚嘆するほかない。ベジタリアンでも満足できる味だろう。もちろん肉、魚もExcellent。特にShellfish Soupは一度は味わうべきだ。朝食も高水準だがディナーほどは期待できない。朝食は朝８時からなので、観光で急ぐ人は注意。 建物は2001年に全燃後に建て替えられて比較的新しい。部屋はとても清潔。ほとんどの部屋にバスタブが付いているのは、日本人にとってはありがたい。ただし狭い部屋はバスタブもないし、窓が天窓だけとなる。部屋にティーセットがないのは残念。１階のバーに降りて注文するしかない（有料）。エレベーターがないので注意。

Great staff and location.

Excellent staff and amenities. Had a very nice Christmas dinner at the hotel.

The staff was so friendly and helpful and the hotel was beautiful and comfortable. It’s set on a remote beach so the views can’t be beat. The food was excellent as well. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location — the room accommodations were excellent... and we saw the Northern Lights!

While we were excited to be in Iceland to take in the landscape and sights, Hotel Budir was a whole experience in itself. It’s absolutely beautiful reminding us of a high-end inn with that is warm and inviting. Every one of the staff members from reception to the bartenders, to the chef were kind and drinks and food were nothing short of 5 star. The outside was just majestic with views of the sea and mountains. We only stayed here 2 nights, celebrating our 10 yr anniversary. But my husband kept saying how perfect everything was and I couldn’t have agreed more! We can’t see us returning to Iceland and not coming back to hotel Budir.

Beautiful hotel. Room had a nice view. However, breakfast was not included.

Check in was very easy . It took perhaps 2 minutes! The receptionist was knowledgeable and appeared to be able to speak several languages. There is a beautiful view from the sitting areas near the bar. We took advantage of this and had some wine and enjoyed the view of the ocean, seals, mountains and waterfalls. The room was spacious. Bathroom was clean. The electrical outlets were a little difficult to get at. One outlet was located near the desk next to the windows, and I used this outlet to charge all my devices. I did not see any USB outlets so you will need to bring the appropriate chargers and cables for your devices. Some of the baseboard was missing, but this certainly was not a deal breaker. Definitely a romantic air to this hotel and surrounding countryside. Staff are wonderful, and appear to have varying backgrounds. It's a nice international flavor. The wifi is pretty decent. I did hear one guest complain about the reception. I did measure their wifi reception as follows: Upload and download 45 MBPS in my room and in lobby and bar. It dropped to 5 MBPS in the first floor dining room. I still had decent reception about 10 feet outside the front entrance. I think the advantage of this hotel is that it places you nearer to the National Park and surrounding areas. If you were to drive from Reykjavik and explore the area as a one day trip you wouldn't be able to enjoy the area and would be pressed for time.

Lugar único com ótimo restaurante!!!

Excellent hotel

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff and excellent food.

We stayed in the newer wing of the hotel which was very lovely. The rooms were spacious and the interior was very modern. The hotels restaurant also served delicious food though there are not many other options near by. I woild stay here again.

Very cozy place, elegant and well located, i loved every detal at this place, it felt like i was in a movie, the staff was very nice

This place was so cute. Beautiful location on the water and right next to the black church and windy beach. Delicious food and friendly helpful waitstaff. One of our favorite stays.

We were greeted so warmly by reception, learned about local liquors and cocktails from the bar staff and had an absolutely delicious dinner with incredible service. We were treated like special guests. The view was spectacular and the room exceedingly comfortable.

This property is amazing, hands down our favorite hotel of the trip. The restaurant was not only delicious but so kindly accommodating of allergies - be sure to give them at least a day's notice though. All the public spaces are so cozy and welcoming. Our third floor room did get a bit stuffy in unseasonably warm weather, with one window that didn't open much, but they allowed us to move to a room with much more airflow. A minor complaint in an otherwise perfect stay. We not only would come back, but will make the effort to come back and stay here again.

While the site, scenery and quiet are pluses this is NOT a resort or luxury hotel. If you want peace and quiet, walking paths and spectacular scenery in a beautiful area of Iceland and don’t mind having only one option for dining, small weirdly appointed rooms, a closet sized bathroom and no hot tub, sauna or other facilities you might be ok. Very expensive dinner which was only ok (over cooked filounder was the low point of a small manu. A final negative was a $35 charge for a marginal buffet breakfast. A big disappointment dying an otherwise amazing 10 day trip in Iceland.

The views around the property are amazingly beautiful! The restaurant is outstanding. Our room’s shower was really weird, it had an odd ledge that caused difficulty in showering. Also, we had to go through several doors and a corridor to get to our room. This was tricky with luggage.

Poor bathroom, just ok dining, bad frontdesk service, beautiful setting, first floor lacks privacy

I can’t wait to return
