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.

Tindasel Lodge, hotel in Hella

Located in Hella, 36 km from Seljalandsfoss, Tindasel Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

This is a beautiful, newly built property, with really lovely design and layout. It’s in a remote location which adds to the charm but it’s a drive to the nearest shops or restaurants. I ate before I arrived because I was unsure what food was available but there is a small menu that would have been sufficient for me. The breakfast provided was lovely. As many other reviews have mentioned, Bernat, the manager is wonderful. He really looks after his guests and he provides generouse, attentive and friendly service and brilliant information.

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!

    I loved the place! It was our favourite house in our Icelandic trip. We were family of 5 and this house outside of Hella is just a paradise. Hot-tub is just lovely to have and Linda is wonderful to talk, very quick in replying. All was just perfect and I would love to come back! Kitchen is so stylish, Kjarval book of paintings was great to read and bathrobes were a cherry on top. I highly recommend this oasis. Takk fyrir!

    Our group of 4 really enjoyed the location - very quiet, off the beaten track with superlative views of Hekla, a river winding along the back of the property and Icelandic horses to pet. In addition very conveniently placed as an entry point into the Highlands. This is what appealed to me enough to book in the first place. Property was clean, well equipped and we used the hot tub which was perfect after a long day.

    We stayed in one of the little self contained houses amd they were just perfect. Really nicely designed and comfortable. Staff was great and food in the hotel was lovely traditional Icelandic fair. The breakfast included was really good too. Probably one of the best we had over the two weeks we travelled around Iceland. Really recommend and will stay again if in the area.

    The hotel is relatively closed to the Highlands of Iceland, which would be a good option for those who would like to go to Haifoss and Landmannalaugar. We enjoy the interior design and the view of the hotel. The room is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast tastes good but may be lacking variety as it is a four-star hotel. In general it is a lovely hotel.

    The hotel and rooms are beautiful and really cosy. Great food, great drinks and lovely staff. We got to see the Northern lights as they woke us up in the early hours to see them. We had hired a car and got to see loads of great sights within a couple of hours drive. We would definitely come back and stay here again if we come back to Iceland!

    We had a great stay and really enjoyed it. It was a lovely change to staying in hotels. The hosts were so welcoming and could not have been more helpful, with information on Icelandic culture and tips on what we should see and do. Having access to a kitchen was great and the waffles in the morning were delicious - thank you!

    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

    Nice breakfast and dinner. Big glass walls in the restaurant with a view of the river. Hotel is in a big flat plain, so not amazing scenery or anything. Lots of wood, kind of a country cabin atmosphere. They have outdoor hot tubs. They are not very fancy hot tubs. Still, fun to have a drink in, I bet!

    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.
