The individual cabins look like monopoly houses from the outside, but the full wall of windows inside offers a fantastic view of the surrounding area. Inside are modern furnishings. The restaurant in the reception house offered a delicious dinner, and the buffet breakfast the next morning was great.
Delightful property with amazing views out onto lakes, Icelandic ponies and scenery.
Restaurant had great choices allowing guests to choose cheaper options or something a bit more special. I chose a bit more special and it was delicious and well presented.
Staff are friendly and kind. Would definitely recommend.
Our heated towel rail was marked out of order which was a bit disappointing so hope the hotel can get this fixed for next guest.
Amazing place. Cabin was clean, spacious and nicely appointed. Lots of space travel items. Bed was really comfortable. Restaurant was great and staff were helpful, friendly and professional. Easy access to Highway 1 and nearby sights. Great stay!
Magma was beautiful and my favorite hotel I stayed at in Iceland. The view from our room was gorgeous. The room was stylish and comfortable. I wish I was there for a few more nights!
There was nothing about this property that we did not like. From the quiet location, to the quality of the food at dinner and breakfast, to the cleanliness and amenities of the room, to the views outside our window and our own patio area of the immediate countryside and beyond. Our stay was truly wonderful and we were only sorry it was for one night as we were on a tour of the ring road. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Absolutely loved it.
The Magma Hotel was very nice and in a great location, however, I feel like it wasn't a great value for my money comparable to the other places I stayed during our time in Iceland. Additionally, their website lists laundry service yet it doesn't exist. This amenity is one of the main reasons i selected this hotel so it was disappointing to discover that it was no longer available. All that being said, the staff were all quite friendly the view from oir cottage over the pond was wonderful!
This hotel is everything you want, good room, excellent shower pressure, beautiful views, good breakfast, excellent WiFi, parking right in front.
I cannot recommend a hotel more than the Magma Hotel.
This was a gem of a spot! Loved the cozy bed, the view and off the beaten path location, and the delicious onsite restaurant that included free breakfast!
So incredibly comfortable and peaceful. Beautiful view. They thought of every possible comfort in the room including heated floors, our own water heater. They started breakfast early for us because we had a morning tour. We even forgot drinks in the frig, went back in the afternoon and they saved them for us. Incredible customer service.
We loved our stay at the Magma Hotel. It was serene and made us feel like we were truly experiencing the calm of Iceland.
The cabins are a good size with stunning views, the beds were super comfy, and they provide binoculars which we loved since there were so many unique birds in the pond we overlooked!
The staff was very welcoming and helpful which was reassuring since the location is decently far from a city/town (Kirkjubaejarklaustur has a small grocery store but the hours are a bit limited and it's the only town for miles). Having breakfast included is a luxury and was very convenient before starting our long days of exploring. There were a lot of different options.
The location is also convenient as it allows you to be an hour closer to Vatnajokull National Park than Vik.
We would definitely stay here again!
