We stayed at this fabulous hotel for 3 nights on a bucket list family holiday in April (5 adults). From the moment we arrived we were wowed by the location. It’s secluded away from the nearby village but still walking distance to the local restaurants and brewery. All of our adventures within South-West Iceland were no more than a 1.5 hour drive away which beats staying in Reykjavik! We booked 3x superior Lake view rooms with balconies which were spacious and immaculately clean; they very much worth the money. Included in our rooms were: naspresso coffee machine, towels, robes, flip-flops, mini chocolates, mini fridge, toiletries, hair dryer. The rooms were warm and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We were lucky with the weather when we stayed with sunny days and clear nights! We even saw the northern lights from the balcony and hot pools! The highlight of our stay was the food this hotel has to offer. Breakfast was included each day and offered a wide range of hot and cold choices. I particularly enjoyed the waffles at the do-it-yourself station. The staff even allowed guests to boil their own eggs in the hot springs found at the hotel! We had dinner at the restaurant one night and I can honestly say I had the best beef I had ever tasted there, everything was so fresh! Others within our group loved the lamb too. The wine went down very well! We will definitely be back to this hotel in the future!

One of our rooms struggled to get hot water on the first night, however this was quickly rectified by the staff who worked incredibly quickly to fix!

In a unique and stunning location, which you can enjoy best from the geothermal hot tubs! The room was spacious, modern and clean with great views. Staff were friendly and helpful and the location is ideal for exploring the surrounding area (Golden Circle) by car. The geothermal menu (food cooked in the hotel’s own hot spring) at the Varma restaurant overlooking the river was honestly the best food we’ve ever had!

Nothing! We missed out of the northern lights which was a shame but guests saw a spectacular show the night before we arrived apparently. Gives us an excuse to come back and try again!

We stayed at the Frost and Fire hotel from the 28th December - 1st January. From the time we arrived until the time we left, the staff couldn't do enough for us. They were very friendly and approachable. Marianne even made us a packed lunch as we had to leave before breakfast for the airport. We really appreciated it. The views are breathtaking. We were very lucky that it snowed during the time we were there. The natural hot springs baths were an added special extra! We took a walk from the hotel up the mountain (the hotel will give you a route). We really recommend you do this! It took around 2 hours! We booked to go on a northern lights tour. You should definitely do this, but know it isn't guaranteed to see them. However, we saw the lights from the hotel on two evenings, so there is definitely a chance you can for that! The room was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. We could see the sunrise every morning! Wow! The food needs to be mentioned. It was delicious and worth every penny. We had breakfast and an evening meal twice there. The Icelandic buffet on New Year’s Eve was amazing! Also the fireworks were out of this world! 🎆 We walked up the mountain path to see them and would definitely recommend you do that!

There wasn't anything we didn't like. The place is fantastic!

Location is amazing! Walking distance to the town with many places to eat. Surrounding area had very nice walking trails, waterfall, hot springs. Staff very nice, helpful and friendly. Geothermal Hot tub was AMAZING!!! So hot, very nice in cold weather. We even seen the Northern lights few night in a row🤩

Rooms can be improved. We’ve had no wardrobe so had to live out of luggages for 6 nights… shower pressure wasn’t great. Also, we’ve had few very windy nights and it was cold in the room, you could feel the wind and cold lying in bed… heating wasn’t great at all.

Stunning location next to the river with its own geothermal vent used for cooking some of the meals. Staff were very welcoming and helpful and upgraded our room for free. Very few guests when we stayed (late January), making it feel like we had the place to ourselves. The geothermal hot tub was fantastic and would be even better with a bit more illumination around it (although I appreciate this might detract from viewing the Northern Lights). There was a sauna and a 'relaxation' room, though we didn't use these. The food in the restaurant was absolutely superb, as it was everywhere we ate in Iceland. Don't miss a stroll up into the hills by crossing the footbridge over the river for a lovely view back over the hotel.

A kettle in the room would have been welcome - as it was we had to use the Nespresso machine for hot water to make tea. Not a deal breaker.

The room was comfortable, breakfast was excellent, and actually, so was dinner in the restaurant. Loved the hot tub, although only one out of two were working.

Appreciated the Nespresso machine, but there was no kettle, so no way to make tea unless you put up with coffee tasting water from the Nespresso machine.... Also our bathroom had a strong sulphur smell, which I put down to the location and all the hot springs around the area, but our friends' bathroom didn't smell at all, so maybe something could have been done...?

Beautiful hotel in a gorgeous location. Had one of the best meals during my trip in Iceland in this hotel. Amazing breakfast with everything you could wish for. Very nice and helpful staff. Amazing hot tubs with a great view. Definitely worth a stay.

The room we had was a bit on the small side with some limited facilities (small shower) for the price we paid. Also, we had a bit of bad luck staying in this hotel during a snow storm, because the room was a bit noisy when there's a lot of wind.

A beautiful setting in rural Iceland with views of the river and geothermal areas, but close to a small town with some amenities and restaurants. The hotel had cute and comfortable cabin-style rooms with big north facing views - which would have been great to view aurora - unfortunately too cloudy when we were there. The restaurant had a geothermal stove for cooking which was very cool. The breakfast was tasty with good choice. The best part of the stay were the outdoor hot tubs!

We were nervous on the drive in because of nearby construction, but the hotel is nestled along the river facing a gorgeous geothermal area and out of sight and hearing of the bulldozers, so we felt like we'd descended into a different universe. Walking trails straight from the hotel lead up to the geothermal vents, and it's seven minutes from our trip highlight, the Reykjadalur hot river hike. Felt like we could spend a whole 'nother vacation just in this valley. Our room (king bed, river view) was smallish but warm and clean, with heated tile floors, a mini fridge, and a lovely little balcony that came with an unexpected but welcome resident cat visit! The hot tubs are hot, gave us a perfect view of the Northern Lights over the mountains, and the sauna was a great way to dry off. The restaurant (Varma) served one of the best meals I've ever had. Truly phenomenal chef and barely anyone there during late March. The waiter went out of his way to provide a gluten free option for my wife, too. Excellent breakfast buffet as well. Oskar the staff masseuse is transcendently good, best massage my wife's ever had and delivered with care and compassion. Can't speak highly enough of him.

For the expense, which is boutique hotel price, there were some little facilities touches that were a bit disappointing. The room was a bit small and crammed with furniture. Our bath robes had tears and holes, presumably from a dryer. Some noticeably spackled holes in the bathroom wall. It seemed like they were renovating the room next door, so perhaps this is a work in progress!

This hotel is a hidden gem. We liked it so much that we booked an additional night. It's quite remote and perfect for viewing the northern lights. We spent my birthday at the hotel, but I didn't even dream that we would see the northern lights from the hot tub, after a fancy, delicious dinner at their lovely restaurant. From the hotel you can hike in that area with beautiful views. It's situated in a small quiet town, which is exactly the vibe we were looking for.
