There is a gigantic stuffed polar bear in the lobby, and that is the best thing about the place. The 'hot tubs' out the back were luke warm, and although the food in the restaurant turned out to be nice enough it cost an arm and a leg and a song and dance to get anything decent for the vegetarians.... more

I booked this hotel because the main aim of our trip was to try and see the Northern Lights. Instead of booking an organised tour from the UK hoping that the Lights would show, I thought I would book into a hotel that has very little light pollution and is said to be in a great area to see the... more

We stayed at the Ranga for one night towards the end of our stay in Iceland. First of all it isn't cheap, but if the price is agreeable I think you'll have trouble finding a better hotel in Iceland (we stayed in 4 others). All the staff were really friendly. The room was comfortable with a big bed and a... more

Just returned from 2 days at this hotel. Excellent staff and first class food. Be sure and eat foal. The rooms are good but not great. The scenery is not exactly what you expect....it is very flat around Hella. But it is near a lot of fabulous sights. We recommend the super-jeep tours. Ask for Ragnar who is wonderful. The... more

My hsband and I stayed at Hotel Ranga for two night as part of our self-drive holiday and was the fourth hotel out of five we were staying at as part of our holiday. Hotel Ranga did not disappoint. It is billed as the only 5* hotel in the South of Iceland and I can see why. It has the... more

I decided to check out Iceland's 4 star hotel. The Hotel Ranga is near Hella and is very easy to get to. It is a very nice hotel situated near a salmon river and nothing else near by for total peace & quiet. The staff at this property was extremely nice & helpful! It is on the expensive side but... more

Good facilities, some of the staff were excellent, others were worse than awful. Food was OK but should have been better but they had very a good wine selection. Hot tub was great (if a little too public). Excursions are easy to organise through reception (fantastic staff on reception) and wifi is free. The only problem we found was sadly... more

Fantastic lodging with a view of the excotic Icelandic nature. Short distance to many extrordinary sightseeings like the vulcano Hekla, the hot geysers, beautiful waterfalls, glaciers and the highlands which all are must sees if you're visiting this remarkable island. I spent a week at Rangá and recomend that as a minimum! So much to see!! I stayed one night... more

Hotel is nicely located between the many beautiful natural sites and the capital city. Service is wonderful and the menu is terrific. A exotic bland of Icelandic taste with a clean and fresh modern touch. Rooms are comfortable and roomy with a view to die for. more
