The family-owned Hótel Lækur is set on an Icelandic horse farm, between the Golden Circle and the south coast. Hella is 10 minutes’ drive away. It offers a sun terrace and a guest lounge.

Hotel Rangá, hotel in Hella

Featuring a stargazing observatory on site, this luxury hotel is in an idyllic remote location next to the Rangá salmon river in Hella.

We loved everything about Hotel Rangá. The staff were all lovely and super helpful. The room was really comfortable with a lovely jacuzzi bath in the en-suite. We were lucky to have a north facing room so got a really good view of the Northern Lights. There is an aurora wake up service but we were already up mesmerised by the show outside. The observatory was open on the night we stayed too which was really interesting. We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening but breakfast the next day was one of the best we’ve had in Iceland. So much choice with hot and cold options. We will definitely return in the future.

This is an excellent place to enjoy the Northern Lights. We were able to see it. I definitely recommend to stay here. Great experience.

Landhotel, hotel in Hella

Set 27 km from Hella and 12 km from Laugaland, Landhotel features a garden, bar and free WiFi. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.

Breakfast is buffet style - both hot and cold / chilled options are available. All freshly prepared and well presented. Really good quality and included in our booking price. Bread was freshly baked and a little bit too nice for my waistline. Zero complaints - compliments only. Evening meals are from a fairly limited menu but the quality is fantastic (if expensive). Rooms are best described as quirky style with a concrete, wood and tubular steel modern design. Very comfortable, clean and well presented. Room calls for any visible aurora (regular) are optional. Dark skies make the spectacle more vivid.

The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. Location was great, we were looking for something remote and the size was perfect for a couple. The hosts were really lovely and even left us a gift to celebrate our engagement which happened half way through our trip. Can’t recommend enough!

    Hella a bit sparse.

    Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

    Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

    We were not happy with the accommodation.

    We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

    Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views. Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1.

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1. Unacceptable reason of overbooking in real time booking system especially we have fully paid. 2. The selection of customers for relocation is not transparent, not logical and also not acceptable, especially we have fully paid in serval months (confirmed and paid on 4 Feb 2023 for the booking on 1-3 Aug) 3. We booked 3 rooms (7 persons) for 2 nights (1-3 Aug). Maybe pre-empting us can release more rooms for others, and maximize the revenue as we might paid less (booked in 6 months in advance) 4. Very short notice ie we received the relocation message at 16:18 on 1 Aug that we were on the way to Legendary Hotel Hella. I strongly believe the overbooking happened at least a month ago but I had only 2 hours notification time 5. 2 receptionists are inexperienced to handle such disaster issue. The manager, the decision maker, was hidden and not face to or talk to the customer directly. 2 Receptionists were not able to explain the situation nor to comport their customers. 6. We were relocated to Bru Country Estate, that required us to drive about 1 hour to there. 7. Hotel Hella booked 3 rooms for us (7 persons) in Bru Country Estate for us but there are only double rooms (no triple room) in Bru Country Estate. It created another problem during the careless relocation booking. 8. We booked a local tour to Highland on 2 Aug. The itinerary was changed and shorted due to longer travel time starting from Selfoss instead of Hella

    Perfect, quiet location in the Hellatún countryside. The house was spacious, very clean, and had all amenities, including a washing machine for clothes and a personal hot tub! Linda was extremely accommodating and very pleasant to work with. We stayed there two separate nights on our trip, and we’re looking forward to getting back to Hellatun Guesthouse for our second night. Restaurants in the area are sparse, so either come prepared or know that you’ll need to drive a little bit to get to a restaurant. The views were incredible!

    Nothing, we didn’t stay at all. Checked in around 7 pm only got the keys as we were late for dinner at another restaurant, sure what can go wrong. Came back at 10 pm to find dirty cabin - can understand these things happen however no one to contact, reception closed,messaged the property no answer called the number multiple times no answer. In the middle of the Iceland 10 pm pissing rain. Luckily another property down the road had extra room for the night. Also messaged the property multiple times days after this still no reply.

    Beautiful hotel with amazing staff and facilities. I went with my 12 year old son and we had the best experience. If you get the chance, ask the hotel if Fred is available for a private site seeing tour. Fred took us out for the day and it was one of the best experiences I've had. He took us to the most amazing natural wonders of Iceland and is incredibly knowledgeable about the sites and the history of Iceland. He's funny too! Highly recommended!

    Great small hotel. My room was good sized, and gave me room to get set-up for racing The Rift gravel race. There was an in-room minifridge that was great to have. Breakfast in the attached restaurant was free and had plenty of options. I was able to make over-night oats and bring them back to my room for race day when I would be leaving before breakfast service started. This was extremely helpful.

    The hotel was excellent, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, I felt like the team went above and beyond to make you feel at home. Magnus, the hotel manager was extremely helpful throughout our stay, he even helped us plan our days, giving us maps and suggestions for other sites to see. They called our room when the northern lights were out, that was helpful.

    Loved this beautiful guest house. We stayed here one night but wish I had stayed more, as I later realized that the chances of seeing northern lights in Hella are quite high. - Perfect cozy and comfy room - Common dining, kitchen and seating area with all the amenities - Yummiest heart shaped waffles by the amazing host

    The property itself was fine, there was nothing to write home about. Breakfast was included and was acceptable for a standard Icelandic hotel breakfast. The bathroom was not super clean, with several hairballs on the floor, but we were happy to have a room at least.

    It was the best breakfast we had in Iceland with good variety of cold and hot items such as waffles, bacon and eggs. Good location close to attractions. The restaurant had reasonably priced food (for Iceland). The hot tub was a nice amenity. Friendly staff.
