Top Thingvallavatn Hotel Reviews

Black Sand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall this is a very beautiful hotel with very comfortable rooms and great restaurant! Right on the beach you can enjoy beautiful sunset! All rooms are very nice including high quality toiletries, towels etc. the only downside there is a spa construction ongoing through the end of 2026 so there is no gym or spa at the hotel. Construction didn’t bother us but they could lower the price since there are no amenities. Overall great hotel."

"Paying for the breakfast wasn’t worth the price, since there are so many lovely bakeries so close by. The rooftop hot tub was wonderful, washrooms & showers were kept decent. You can’t beat the location. We enjoyed our stay!!"

Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the setting"

ASKA Heiðmörk

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay. It was probably the only shower in Iceland that didn’t flood out the entire bathroom. It was incredibly windy when we went and it definitely came through the door causing a bit of a chill but other than that it was great. Kitchen had enough amenities and there was a basic amount of seasonings likely left over from previous guests. I would stay again."
