We stayed at the Hotel Glymur in November in the Villa Romance for our Honeymoon. The villa was the perfect private escape with every thing (and more!) that we needed. The hot tub and underfloor heating made our stay! We also came home one day to find a few christmas decorations added to the villa which was a lovely touch.... More

We stayed at Hotel Glymur for four nights in March and we had the most amazing time! We chose to stay in Villa Romance and we were so glad with this choice. This spaicous, light modern and tastefully decorated villa provided a wonderful base for our trip and the only downside was not wanting to leave! Villa Romance is the... More

We stayed at Hotel Glymur as part of Discover The World Northern Light Special and was not disappointed. It was my boyfriends 40th birthday present and I desperately wanted a villa for that extra special touch, however they were fully booked so I booked a suite. On arrival we were pleasantly shocked to find out there was a cancellation and... More

We stayed at this hotel as part of a 'Northern Lights Special' arranged by 'Discover The World' (Iceland specialists). The hotel is miles from anywhere but what an 'anywhere'! Views over the fjord to the distant mountains were to die for - especially at night with the full moon reflection glinting on the fjord surface. The rooms were comfortable and... More

Out of this world views of a sublime Fjord !! We stayed in the Romance Villas and we recommend it to anybody. The villa was beautiful, huge, feeling extremely cosy and very warm despite huge bay windows (and we stood a proper day of Icelandic blizzard with 190km/h of wind). Everywhere you were in the villa, no vis a vis... More

We stayed at Hotel Glymur as part of a package with Discover the World. The staff were friendly, the service and food were excellent. Rooms were comfortable and clean and the hot tubs were very welcome at the end of a busy day. Will definately return.

We stayed at Hotel Glymur for five nights in February in the Family Villa. The villa was perfect for two couples as it has two identical bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, and a large kitchen/living area. The private hot tub on the deck is a must too! The hotel itself is located about 45 minutes from Reykjavik - it's definitely... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my two night stay here! Our hotel room had an amazing view over the fjord though a huge landscape window. The room itself was different too, with a ground floor bathroom and 'living room' area and a staircase leading upstairs to a mezzanine bedroom. The communal hot tubs were perfectly situated overlooking the fjord, the only downside... More
