    Tucked away just an hour from Reykjavik, this quaint hotel offers stunning views, quirky decor, and a fantastic breakfast that’ll blow you away. The rooms spread across two levels provide a cozy feel, while nearby hiking options promise breathtaking scenery. Just note, dining here can be pricey, but the experience is well worth it.

    cozy decor

    I stayed in a Double Room with Mountain View at Glymur for 2 nights in August 2024. The views were stunning. mountains and fjords greeted me every morning from my window. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, offering fresh fruits and pastries that kick-started my day. The room itself was spacious and comfortable, with unique decor adding a cozy touch. However, the hot tub's water temperature could have been warmer for comfort. Service had its ups and downs. while most staff were friendly, I encountered a surly attitude at the front desk during check-in. The Wi-Fi connection proved spotty at times, which was inconvenient for planning my day. The restaurant menu didn’t have much variety, and the food was a bit overpriced for the quality. Despite these hiccups, I enjoyed my stay, especially soaking in the hot tub overlooking the fjord at sunset.

    The stay in a two-level room with mountain views was delightful, combining comfort with a unique design. Breakfast featured an impressive array of local delicacies, including vegetables and salmon lox, served in a cozy setting. However, we encountered a lack of help with luggage upon arrival, leading to an initial frustrating experience. The absence of hypoallergenic pillows presented another challenge for comfort during the night.

    The double room with a mountain view was really nice. It had a comfy loft bed, and the sitting area downstairs was perfect for relaxing. Plus, we had a kettle, which was handy. The views were stunning from both levels. Only downside, there was just one plug in the loft for charging devices. But overall, loved the unique layout!

    I adored the eclectic decor of the common areas, filled with unique artifacts from around the world. The comfortable seating made it easy to relax, and I really appreciated the accessibility features that made it easy for seniors like myself.

    Hot tub temperature could be warmer for comfort.
