If you need to stay in this general area, this is a basic hotel with no frills. The bathroom was really lacking with hardly any toiletries and a shower that barely worked. The included breakfast buffet, gets the job done, but it's nothing noteworthy. The staff did help correct a room problem from booking by offering a rollaway bed which made the stay feasible for one night. It is not close to restaurants, so plan accordingly as there are quite a few restaurants in the nearby town.

We were checking in late and I received a call to give me Instructions on check in, door code etc. when we arrived the lobby was closed and dark. There was a personal note on the desk with tea lights with our room number and key, breakfast info etc. There were snacks left out for us. Fruit, cakes, juice etc. The room was very spacious, clean, furniture mismatched, making it charming and eclectic! Beds were very comfortable. Very nice sitting areas off lobby with books and games. Did not use hot tub due to late arrival. Free breakfast was plentiful, with much variety. We stayed in a different hotel every night while in Iceland, and this was our favorite. In the middle of nowhere it was a true hidden gem. The personal phone call from the manager to confirm our arrival and leaving us snacks was awesome. There’s a lot to be said for the little things.The personal service was top notch. Morning clerk was a lovely young lady, very helpful to all the guests. Loved our stay, would definitely stay again. Such a wonderful.

For what we paid, we got an amazing deal compared with other hotels that we paid double that! For under $200, you get very decent breakfast. Access to hot tub, sauna, floors are heated in the room bathroom, as well as towel rack is heated too! We stayed at "fancy" hotels afterwards that end up costing us $500 per night and they didn't even offer half of what Kvika provided.

Great little place for a stay near Selfoss. The rooms are clean and easy parking. Hot tub and sauna out back is a nice addition, and the free breakfast in the morning had a wide selection, from waffles and pancakes to bacon and eggs. The lady at reception was very kind and welcoming. Thanks for the stay!

By far the best value of the hotels we stayed in. A welcoming host who offered excellent travel advice, free cookies, cake, tea and coffee in the evening. Breakfast was the equal of hotels costing twice as much. Honestly, I was kind of sorry that this was the first hotel we stayed at in Iceland, because it made all the others seem disappointing! Would definitely go out of my way to stay here again.

The property location was excellent. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and, bathroom was clean and water pressure was perfect. The front desk staff was very courteous. Tea, coffee, cookies, water, juice, cake was there all the time for the guests. Breakfast was very good. The hot tub and sauna was available 24 hours which was so good and relaxing. The hotel being away from the ciry lights next to the mountains made the Northern lights view extra clear and special. Would love to stay there again.

Feel at home away from light pollution

A gem of a hotel with very friendly staff and policies (e.g. unrestricted access to coffee/hot chocolate machine, fruit and biscuits, nice hot breakfast always included). Cozy spacious rooms, away from light pollution, so can hunt aurora from the bedroom. The only addition I would recommend is cold plunge bath - as the hot tubs are very hot (42) - and perhaps covers for the tubs so less moss flies in. An excellent stay, thank you!
