Featuring free WiFi, Blue Hotel Fagrilundur - On The Golden Circle is situated in Reykholt, 19 km from Geysir and 29 km from Gullfoss Waterfall. Each accommodation at the 3-star hotel has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a terrace and to a hot tub. Thingvellir National Park is 49 km away and Ljosifoss is 42 km from the hotel. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. I think what makes me think of this place as even more magical and unforgettable than it is anyway is its artwork - it was stunning and utterly heartwarming in its simplicity. Perfect value for money and location. The place was perfectly clean and the bathroom was a stunner with its space, modern decor and heated floors. Our stay there was a seamless and magical experience.

Set 500 metres from Black Sand Beach, Hotel Vík í Mýrdal offers 3-star accommodation in Vík and has a fitness centre, a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. I was very pleased by the warm and welcoming staff, I stayed one night for a business trip in the area and enjoyed amazing food in their in house restaurant and the attention and friendlyness of their staff was outstanding (restaurant, reception and housekeeping staff). The rooms are very stylish with amazing view and I love that they use l'occitane products in their rooms. Mattress was also 1+ and extremely comfortable, much better than in other hotels. This is by far my most favourite Hotel in Vik, I stayed in all of them several times for business trips and I would always recommend Hotel Vik y Myrdal over all other hotels. Also their restaurant and bar is absolutely the best. I never tried the breakfast as it only starts at 7:30 but I am very sure it is very good, too.
