This is a comfortable hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The bedrooms are a little old fashioned but are a good size. On the down side ,there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the bedrooms and you have to walk down draughty corridors to a communal area where there is a kettle and tea and coffee provided. Not...

If you are looking for something different and a potentally wonderful view of the Northern Lights you cannot fault the Hekla.The staff were extremely friendly and we put our names down on a list at reception for a wakeup call to view the Northern lights and a discreet knock on the door meant we were able to view them at...

We did not hold out great hopes for this hotel based on previous Tripadvisor reviews, but we were very pleased indeed! The room was somewhat dated, with heavy wooden furniture and ornate bed-throw, but at least the room was not shabby like our previous effort! It was what it says on the can - "a Country-style Hotel". The bed was... More

Staff could not have been more helpful. Helped us with booking tours and gave lots of great advice. Rooms were a decent size. We ate at the restaurant and had great meals at not over the top price. Quite a modern feel to the hotel. Not 5 star luxury if that's what you after but a great friendly well located... More

Country hotel in good location as a base for travelling in the South. Clean rooms. No radiator in bathroom so difficult to dry clothes. Would benefit from tea and coffee facilities in rooms during winter season, kettle in downstairs area but not always stocked with cups and milk. Games room and lounge with bar, hot tub outside. A reasonable stop... More

I appreciate my views aren’t of some on here but I can only report on my experience at the time of my stay. (I believe that since some of the reviews were written there are new owners who took over shortly before my stay.) I was expecting a very basic hotel and so my expectations were not high, but basic... More

Stayed here for two nights with a group. The hotel has recently been taken over and the new owners are intending refurbishments which is a good thing because it's very dated. Having said that, the beds are very comfortable, if short on pillows, and I slept well (apart from waking up to false alarms for northern light sightings!). Restaurant service... More

The three-wing hotel Hekla was a great experience for our first night in Iceland. It poured rain....all day.....and even though we were soaked and tired from driving, we immediately felt at home when we arrived. Although our rooms weren't ready when we arrived, we were escorted into a elegantly decorated dining room and offered refreshments and an amazing date/nut bread... More
