Hotel Rangá, hotel in Hella

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

We loved everything about this place. We were able to upgrade to a suite after we arrived and I would recommend that to everyone. The dinners were great and the lounge area and the bar were perfect. The staff couldn't have been nicer. Not to mention that they have a call service you can sign up for that rings your room if the Northern Lights come out...... Just fantastic

    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.

    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

    Most wonderful stay ! After one night we already felt like Unnur & Ingi were our best friends: cracking jokes with all the guests, sharing all their knowledge and tips about the area.... and in fact the whole of Iceland. Unnur is a walking Lonely Planet ! while Ingi serves his pancakes :-) :-). They taught us a lot about birds ( nesting in the lawn ), music, history, restaurants and food, the Icelandic language,..... The rooms were spacious, clean and silent , as were the surroundings. Thank you so much !!! We will be back.

    Beautiful location and spectacular path to the property. It was beautifully furnished and super warm. Although we did not get to see the the northern lights the rain falling on the top of the igloo made us feel really cozy and comfortable. Waking up with the sunrise was super lovely. Highly recommended stay and just an hour away from the capital region of Iceland and a short trip to Hella were you can find something to eat

    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.

    Really unique location, surrounded by trees on the edge of a majestic river. Well maintained paths made for a magical early morning walk during our winter stay. Extremely clean and well-designed modern cabin. Bed was super comfy. The compact kitchen has everything you need for meal prep. Highly recommend a tour of the Hella Caves, located nearby.

    Either a short stop on the road or a stay as starting point for excursions. A hidden gem. More family home than hotel, staff was very nice and helpful, breakfast beat everything else we experienced on the trip, great coffee (a decent plus!) and the dinner provided showed the excellent cooking skills. Go for the dessert as well! Hot tub available.

    It's located right next to the Caves of Hella. The people who worked in the caves do not own this house, but they helped us more than once when we got stuck in the snow while in the driveway. We adore them. But there are lots of other, better places nearby. Skip this one.

    Lovely little hotel with a cosy restaurant onsite, we had actually eaten in the town before we checked in but wished we had gone there! The staff said they would call us until midnight for the aurora (which unfortunately never came) but it was a great service anyway

    The hotel was perfect to see the Northern Lights, which we managed the first night, so we were lucky. Wish we stayed longer since the location was helpful for all the driving we did around Iceland. Really cozy and friendly staff.

    The Legendary Hotel Hella is great value for money. It doesn't have an amazing breakfast, but it's good for the price, especially when compared to other places in Iceland. Beds are comfortable, heating worked well, good shower.
