Excellent restaurant, beautiful view, very cozy, and homie. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. We celebrated my husband’s 40th birthday there and they made him a delicious brownie cake. We missed breakfast the following morning and the owner arranged for the kitchen to prepare something for us. Overall an outstanding experience. Thank you!

United States of AmericaThe breakfast was exceptional, as was dinner the night before. The hot tubs were great and the view from our room was jaw dropping. The furnishings and artwork in the common spaces and in the bedrooms were top notch. Staying at Hotel Glymur was a high point of our amazing trip to Iceland.
United States of Americavery nice hotel, one of the most chic hotels in iceland. i was totally impressed by the fact that at the ladies toilet there was a shelf with 3 perfumes to freshen up, one was avon,one was givenchi and one was boss, which were totally functional and could be used. this is a very pleasant touch to make guest comfortable. also the breackfast was very very abundant which trust me is so rare to find in iceland!
IcelandAmazing view and amazing location to see the northern lights if the conditions permitted, saw northern lights twice in 4 nights I was there. Restaurant has amazing dinner. It was a great middle hotel between reykjavik and West Iceland which is why we stayed there.
United States of AmericaBreakfast buffet offered many choices including eggs, bacon, smoked salmon, cereals, fresh fruit, cheeses. The view from the front of the hotel was the inlet, the view from the back the mountains, both beautiful. The two story room offered excellent views. The coffee/tea setup was appreciated.
United States of AmericaFabulous people. Really kind, sweet and helpful. The hot tub made it a memorable trip! Breakfast was good too, all basics done well. Views were great and the hosts even better
