We have just returned from a four night break in Iceland where we stayed at the Hotel Glymur in their Villa Elegance. The Villa was superb & a great way for 4 people to be close but also have space. The villa had it all - 2 ensuite bedrooms & a large lounge/kitchen/diner plus the large deck with its own... More

My wife, 18 year old son and I have just returned from 4 nights at this hotel. I cannot recommend it too highly. The hotel rooms were both comfortable and stylish (the cabins even more so), everyone was extremely friendly and courteous and the quality of the evening meals was consistently excellent. We will certainly return. More

We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2011. We were looking for a relaxing getaway from our two young children. The Hotel Glymur (and all of Iceland) was fantastic. The staff at the hotel were extremely accommodating. We stayed one night in the main hotel and 2 nights in one of the villas. I have to say the hotel... More

Just returned from a 13 -day early September trip of Iceland. This was our favorite hotel, though we stayed at some other highly recommended hotels (Hotel Ranga, Blue Lagoon Clinic ). The staff and owner treat you as a member of the family from check-in on. Watching for the Northern lights, notifying their guests and enjoying them with them should... More

For our last stay in Iceland, we had chosen to reserve a villa at Hotel Glymur. We spent 3 days in Villa Couture, an absolutely stunning villa, with a full kitchen (it even had 2 stoves), a dining room with seating for 6 people, a living room with leather couches and a flat screen TV, a large bedroom and a...

My husband and I stayed 1 night here on our honeymoon and were delighted! We had heard about the hot tub and it lived up to its reputation. The hot tub is situated along a boardwalk and overlooking the Whale Fjord - on clear nights its the perfect place to watch the northern lights dance across the sky.The restaurant is... More

We stayed at Hotel Glymur the first night we were in Iceland, arriving in the evening after a day of horseback riding. The view is incredible, the reception is very friendly. The hotel is clean, the rooms are nice and comfortable. We had one of their standard rooms, which was on the 2nd floor facing the hillside. Unfortunately we were... More

Simply one of the best places we have ever been. The setting, accomidations, food, wine, staff are all simply superb and we hope we will someday have a change to return. The villias are the most wonderful retreat we could have imagined. More

We stayed in a two-unit cottage overlooking the fjord. It was modern, clean and the staff were superb. We cooked all our own meals so I cannot comment on the restaurant but everything was spotless. The staff were friendly and the kitchens were well-equipped (paper towels might be nice). The only recommendation I would have to travelers is to be... More
