I can not say enough about this Hotel! The location is perfect if want to see the Northern Lights. The staff at Landhotel are amazing. Adel helped us map out all the must see places and then told us about ones only the locals know about. The food at Tindur was delicious. Erik’s recommendations were on point every time. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic hotel. Friendly receptionist. Great food at the restaurant. Also has aurora wake up call. Good price too

Only issue is there’s no tissue paper in the room and a bit cold. Also pool table equipment is not in good shape.

Lovely hotel. Would stay again. Saw northern lights both nights of our stay. There’s a wake up alarm and the TV also shows the northern light cams. Really good breakfast - scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurts, crepes etc. The restaurant food is also delicious but slightly pricey, standard for Iceland and the remote location I’d say. Highly recommend the burger, fish bites and chocolate lava cake dessert. Big thank you to Thomas our excellent server both evenings.

I would say the additional charge for the sauna and hot tub isn’t worth it and to skip it. Was quite surprised at the additional charge for those services given the price of the hotel / normally those are included. The saunas are very small 1-3 people and hot tub nothing too special/very icy and cold when getting into.

What an awesome place! We were in Iceland for a week and this was by far the best lodging - great value, awesome amenities, amazing staff. Shout out to Adel for making our stay awesome. Dinner was delish. We were able to play pool and darts. Had access to the sauna. And the breakfast buffet was huge and tasty - and included! If we return we will be visiting again.
