Rangarthing ytra Hotels with Pools

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. We were unfortunately there during terrible winds that made it a little hard to sleep, but the sunrise was absolutely worth it! *Things to keep in mind* • The road isn't paved and has a lot of holes and the walkways are gravel, so it's ideal to get there in the daylight so you can avoid damaging your car and walk safely to your cabin (we weren't so lucky) • Because the cabins are mirrored, the view looks darker than if you were standing outside. My guess is that the northern lights would have to be crazy bright in order to see them from inside your cabin, so the likelyhood of laying in bed while watching them is probably slim. The Northern Lights Lounge (which is fabulous) isn't mirrored and shows the outside in it's true color, so it's aptly named because it is the ideal place to watch the lights from indoors! The winds were too insane for us to try the hot tub or safely venture out to the Lounge to use the sauna, but I'm sure they are fantastic. My over all consensus: book in the spring or summer when the weather isn't so dicey (we were lucky enough to take advantage of the opening discount, but definitely wouldn't have been worth full price with the weather we had since it prevented us from getting to try everything). Check in early so you can enjoy all the amenities. Don't go with the intent of seeing the northern lights, but to enjoy the incredible sunsets/sunrise and enjoy a romantic, spalike experience in a peaceful area. Once in a lifetime experience!

The cabin is located in a field, and the navigation is only 100 meters away. When we arrived, it was almost midnight, and it was difficult to find the entrance. The parking lot is just over 10 meters away, and all the connections are gravel roads. It was the first time to book a hotel with shared bathrooms, and the shared bathrooms felt very clean. The key was placed on the table of common facilities, where I washed up first, and then found our cabin No. 10 according to the map there. There are a total of 12 cabins. There are curtains in the cabins, but not enough to surround a circle. The roof is transparent, which is convenient for watching the stars and the aurora. There is enough heating and electric fans in the room. There are eye masks and earplugs at the head of the bed, but I don’t need them at all. When I woke up in the morning, the sun was shining, but I was not woken up by the sun. It is recommended to stay for one night in the season of the aurora!

Apart from a greenhouse and some geothermal equipment, this is a hotel in the middle of nowhere. The upstairs dining room has a magnificent view in all directions, and a glass fenced balcony. Although excessively bare, the rooms are not bad.The bed is fairly firm, though rather spoiled by a soft- top mattress and the usual lack of upper sheet.The curtains are opaque , but need a lot of work to be made to fit adequately for blackout. There is no bath ( even in a place of such plentiful water), but at least there is an actual full enclosure for the shower, and a meagre but usable basin. Both breakfast and dinner were good- beware the premature breakfast clearing, though!

There are three independent cabins in the world. You can see the warm lights from a long distance. It is not too difficult to find it. Almost brand new furniture and supplies, the heating turned on in advance, a complete set of kitchen pots and spices, sufficient bath water and fluffy duvets, what else can soothe the traveler's body and mind more than all these? And we also photographed the first aurora after coming to Iceland :)

Great experience

When we booked Kansarlinn we were a bit apprehensive if we had made the right choice but for our given dates there was little affordable in the neighborhood. What a pleasant surprise we were in for! The unpretentious road-side white hotel with its adjacent same-name restaurant proved to be one of our best accommodation experiences in island. Will start by saying how wonderful the people are, the owner ( a country music lover!) and all of the staff at the restaurant, wonderful people,. The hotel itself is quiet, clean, modern inside, the room was large, comfortable for 3 people, value-for-money for sure. Only thing that we did not like /could be improved is the size of the beds that are tiny in width! What is this with single Icelandic beds to be hardly 60 cm wide??! I had not fallen off my bed since I was 4, nearly did here. Note that the double is two teeny singles put together. Also the view could have been been a bit better but is part of the deal of a roadside hotel/inn... The adjacent restaurant was great, we enjoyed a fabulous local fish and chips dinner with some local draft beer under the sounds of some good country music for a very competitive price! The breakfast, served in the restaurant was equally fabulous, filled us to the max with both hot and cold offerings and great coffee. Highly recommended, hotel and restaurant alike!

Le check-in est un peu particulier: il faut appeler un numéro, entre 16h et 21h, depuis un téléphone fixe situé dans le hall. Je sens venir le coup foireux... et ça n'a pas loupé! Le téléphone ne fonctionne pas, par SMS pas de réponse non plus, mail idem,... nous finissons par appeler via booking et mon téléphone, on me répond en islandais, je comprends rien, parle 3 mots d'anglais, du coup mon interlocuteur aussi, sauf que ça capte pas, et finis par raccrocher, espérant qu'on me rappelle, en vain...dehors, ça capte mieux, et on finit par avoir un numéro de chambre et un code de porte... La cuisine commune aux 15 chambres semble très bien équipée : machine à café façon hotel avec cappuccino et cie, équipée de deux fours, 2 plaques, ... c'est génial! Oui, enfin ça, c'était sur le papier: la machine à café ne fonctionne pas, il n'y a qu'une plaque pour les deux fours, et aucun plat. les salles d'eau sont très limites pour le nombre de couchage.
