Reviews of Hótel Dyrhólaey 3 stars

View was stunning. Nice there is a restaurant on property. Staff professional and very helpful.

Tour buses but - that brings in money for hotel.

Close to Dyrholaey, cozy, amazing views

The location

The morning manager was rude to me.

Really the only thing to like is the location for this place if every other option around Vik is taken. I booked our vacation late and this was all that was available in the Vik area. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean so it served it's purpose.

It caters to the bus crowds. It says they have a restaurant ....it's buffet style. It's a shortish drive to Vic for a good dinner. The breakfast is plentiful....but was not up to the standard of the rest of our served breakfasts in Iceland (quality). No view from room, but the dining room had a view.

Comfortable clean room, good wifi, and well located for sightseeing in and around Vik. Good view from the room. Very good breakfast buffet.

I was completely satisfied with my stay at the hotel, I do not have anything negative to say about my accommodations, services or the location.

Nice view and location

Too expensive and dated facilities

Great location near the black sand beach with beautiful views. The room was spacious, and staff were very friendly and accommodating — let us borrow a fridge and freezer. Breakfast was nice, and free parking was a big plus.

There were several flies in the room which was unpleasant. The price was quite high (335 per room per night), but considering it was August and near Vík’s great location, staying one night was acceptable.

Great location

property is good

everything was good or decent

Perfect location with stunning views on iceberg or sea. Big and comfortable beds.

There was no hot water after 10 p.m. !!!!!!! We really did not appreciate it, because it was quite expensive room.

Good

N/A

good value for money

Not enough electricity sockets in the room, especially not near the beds.

Staff pretty rude, no one said hi or welcomed us in any way. This was our most expensive hotel during our trip in Iceland and it did not live up to the expectations. Rooms were super boring, food at breakfast wasn't great (fruit available tough which is incredible in Iceland).

Staff should be more friendly and the place is pretty boring.

Location is the only good thing about this property.

We were unable to stay at this property. It is listed as a 3 start but the property is not even to this low standard. When we checked in, the room had an odor that made us nauseous and we asked to be moved. They offered us a room that looked at a hotel storage lot and had the same odor. They gave us air freshener to mask the odor. The facility itself is rundown with old furniture and thread bare carpeting. The floor was softer than the bed. Luckily we were able to find accommodations somewhere else. When we went to the front desk to leave our key, there was a line of at least 12 people all complaining about odors, toilets not working, showers not draining, not hot water, etc. We have asked repeatedly to the Hotel and Booking.com for a refund and have received NO response from the Hotel. I cannot recommend this hotel - you would be better off sleeping in your car.

Location was good.

Our room smelled of smoke. Staff moved to a different room so did resolve the issue. Carpets were old and stained; very minimalistic rooms and furnishings.

Good location and best view. 15 min drive distance from Vik down town.

The view from the hotel was wonderful. The room was big.

The place in general looked a little worn. The breakfast was so-so. We also expected a more intimate, smaller hotel, but we were surprised by how expansive this was. Not necessarily a bad thing but nevertheless it felt a little jarring in an otherwise secluded area.
