Good location for locations of interest
Very good location for visiting the glacier and lagoon. Nice restaurant and included breakfast. Also included was a visit to a museum on site about a famous Iceland writer. Rooms were comfortable and had a good amount of space. Hot water takes time to heat but it’s not too long. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Quick overnight stay.
Short overnight stay. Hotel is small but comfortable. The room was small but had two windows so you didn't feel claustrophobic. Cleaning staff were very helpful.

Peaceful Stay with Beautiful Views and Great Break
We stayed for one night at Hali Country Hotel and had a very pleasant experience. Although we arrived after the official check-in time, we received helpful and flexible assistance over the phone to locate our room key, everything went smoothly.
Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable for two people. The shower had a bit of low water pressure, but it didn’t significantly affect our stay. The highlight was definitely the beautiful view from our window, absolutely stunning!
The breakfast in the morning was also very good, a perfect start to the day.
Thank you for the warm hospitality!

Wonderful! This was my second time staying at this hotel. Stayed one time in the yellow cottage and one time in the hotel . Accommodations are spacious and clean. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to help us with a few minor requests.

Too remote for me and you are pretty much limited to their restaurant onsite unless you want to drive 45 minutes. Although the food was good, it was pricey and not a lot of choices. Rooms were clean but very minimalistic.

Our room and the facility was extremely clean. However the location seems like it was a retired senior home. It was just not quite like the pictures made it out to be. Still we had a good stay and the staff was very friendly.

Please note that the shower is unique as it uses geothermal hot water and there is only one liquid soap provided instead of shampoo and body soap.
The restaurant was very delicious and the people were very kind.

This was my first time staying at this hotel. I was initially expecting shared bathrooms or older rooms, but to the contrary, everything exceeded expectations. The room was spotless, the restaurant served delicious food, and the breakfast was excellent. A great overall experience!

This was a nice little community hotel. The staff was so helpful and friendly. Checkin was quick and easy. We ate dinner at the restaurant, and it was very good. The complimentary breakfast was a great way to start the day. This is a great place to stay in a rather remote area.
