My girlfriend and I were the very first guests at Hotel Studlagil and would highly recommend this stay to everyone immediately. The hotel manager is probably the warmest person we have met so far on our trip to Iceland. Her big dream to take over her own hotel recently became reality and now she is renovating the purchased hotel step by step. We would love to know already now how this hotel will develop during the next months / years. We will come back and wish already now a lot of success in the realization of this heart project!

Everyone is very friendly and generous with their time. It is a great place to watch northern lights. The food is tasty and there is tea and coffee available all day. There is a nice sitting area with sofas to meet other people in a relaxed atmosphere, I enjoyed hanging out with people who work there. The hotel is clean. All glory to the Winnie-the-Pooh!

From the road the hotel doesn't look like anything, but then you park at the side and ... voila! Really comfortable beds, a quiet and spacious room and tea and coffee facilities, even a functioning microwave. Of course ideally situated to visit the impressive Canyon. At the price, I was pleasantly surprised.

My shower only had piping hot water, couldn't get cold water to cool it down. No problem at the basin fortunately.

Restaurant was excellent. Limited menu but perfect execution of the wolf fish - steak was slightly overcooked but quality of the meat made up for it. Location was very close to the Studlagil hike. Kettle for hot water is conveniently provided in the common area. Room and bathroom were clean.

The curtains were hung on a wooden branch and are hard to close. We were also a bit confused about the main switch for electricity in the room. But these were only minor inconveniences.

It is situated very close to the canyon, which is an easy hike in summer even after 8pm, because of the long days. Property is newly renovated and refurbished rooms, common areas contain interesting collection of vintage furniture. Tea/ coffee available in the common breakfast area all the time.

No milk in the fridge for tea/coffee was available after hours.

The hotel is a conversion from the old school and the owner has done a fantastic job. I didn't feel like this was meant to be a place you'd stay for long and we were in the majority being that we were using it as a one night stop on our trip. For this purpose it was perfect. I did end up asking if we could check in late which they're not really set up for, but the staff were very helpful and communication was great - thanks so much to them for this when our plans changed last minute. Breakfast was a good continental spread, quite basic but all we needed. The rooms are very modern, spacious and clean. Beds are comfy and the blackout blinds well fitted which was super helpful as we were adjusting to Iceland's daylight hours. I like the addition of some older vintage dining sets in the school hall - adds character! We appreciated our early start from here to visit the canyon at Studlagil, although we left as soon as we'd had breakfast the carpark was pretty full and when we'd finished our walk there was no space to park in the nearer car park at all.

Nothing, everything was great.

Was planning a visit to Studlagil canyon and stayed here for the night. Had a fantastic stay. Arrived a bit too close to the end of the check in time but was greeted warmly and with a smile - thank you so much. The gentleman who runs the hotel is exceptional. Room was really spacious and clean. Breakfast was lovely.

Nothing

Very close to Studlagil canyon , just around 20 mins drive from the hotel to the parking area where you start a 40min walk to this amazing place. The hotel is on the main road. Small property with also hostel type facilities with shared bathrooms and dorms. We stayed in a room with private bathroom, it was basic but super clean and tidy. Perfect to recharge batteries before visiting the Canyon next morning.

Room price a bit hight, no breakfast included. Make sure u book earlier if u want better deals. Arrived a bit late and was raining, no proper sign for the main entrance or reception area to do the check in. There are not many more hotels in the area that close to the canyon. Don't expect much, just a place for a good night sleep.

We were planning to visit Studlagil Canyon so this was the perfect location. It's been recently refurbished so the rooms are in mint condition. The price was really good for what we could find so thought it was worth trying it out. Turns out it was great - comfortable bed and good bathroom. The dining/reception area is spacious and nicely designed. There is a separate section with a kitchen sink and washing machine which we needed. Staff were friendly and were accommodating whenever we had questions.

The only thing to mention was that it can get a bit noisy as the sound from the hallway travels through. We only stayed for two nights so it wasn't a huge deal.

Great location! The staff worked hard to help us. I needed to clean the bugs off the windscreen of the rental vehicle and they were able to provide me with an old cleaning cloth with some soapy water! That really helped! They had a vegetable soup (pumpkin I believe), and it was awesome.

They forgot to give us the extra pillow; however, they did apologize in the morning. All was forgiven.
