We wanted to get away from the city lights and try a hotel out in the nature. We did stay for 2 nights and we absolutely loved it ! Great service, clean and we got fantastic dinner. I was told they just hired a great cook from another hotel and they surely made the right move there :) Eythor and... More

The hotel is not much to look at from the outside only because it is not meant to be a distraction amidst the beautiful scenery around... A gorgeous view of black mountains, blanketed by snow at their peak, a lake and a nature reserve where birds drop in... There is an outdoor hot bath that is delightful to be in... More

This hotel alone is a five for service of the hotel staff, especially the new owner. My friends and I arrived at this hotel after a very long drive from Akureyri in a blizzard. We were so thankful to arrive and when we did the staff made it very welcoming. This is a smaller hotel on a golf course so... More

First of all lets say the only reason you should be in Borgarnes is that you are on your way to somewhere else. That said th hotel was very clean and comfortable with the feel of an american business hotel. There is an excellent hot tub on each end of the hotel, perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking...

We stayed twice at Hotel Hamar during our trip. The staff is very nice and the hotel looks good with great views. Every room enjoys a little terrace which is great. Breakfast was good (extra) and diner was ok although quite expensive. The rooms were clean and modern (bathroom) but there is a problem in a couple of them: the... More

Borganes is not the nicest town in Iceland, but the Hamar is fortunately 5km away. Take route 1 out of town going north, and look for the red-roofed mansion on the hill, signposted for the golf club. Drive up to the red-roofed mansion, but turn right before you get there to a ghastly-looking motel. That's it. Now, despite the traditionally... More
