Hotel Kriunes

The breakfast was absolutely fabulous, best I've had in a hotel in a very long time. Choices were great, loved that there was some very special local things like herring and cod liver oil available. Nice that they offered some prosecco, too. Delicious coffee. The decor was unique and interesting in a good way. The room was really spacious, the bathroom in particular. The room opened to a small terrace so we could easily go out and watch for Northern lights. The front desk, per our request, called us when they were visible. The person at check-in was SO kind and very helpful. The beds were incredibly comfy and the robes were a nice tough. Really nice toiletry products. Nice duo-head shower with good water pressure. At the spa area in the changing room was the most incredible massage chair! The location by the lake was so nice - felt woodsy and remote, even though we were not far at all from the city. It was a quick drive to Sky Lagoon where we headed in the morning. I would absolutely stay here again.

We thought the hotel location was amazing, being so close to the lake, with a rural setting, yet not far from Reykavik. The interior of the hotel was really full of character, quirky with a modern twist, and interesting, and the facilities were very good. The bedroom was very large, and bathroom decor excellent. The restaurant area was prepared to a high standard, and our evening meal was lovely. I liked the fact that they had a library, which included some English books, which I would have used had we stayed longer. Unfortunately we missed breakfast as we slept in, possibly due to jetlag & and the comfortable bed !!

The views of the lake, the tranquility, the luxury (Superior double room) + the quality-price, in the breakfast there was a bottle of Prosecco! I didn’t drink (too early) but was just cool to see it. The staff were polite and casual, didn’t make you feel out of place they were proper. The toilet had really nice fragrance and variety of toiletries: shower soap, conditioner, soap, hand soap, body lotion, also hair drier and hair straightener too, was WOW so complete but minimalist too, I love it

My stay at Hotel Kríunes was a unique and memorable experience. The journey to the hotel felt almost mystical, as we drove through what seemed like a residential area, eventually reaching a dead-end and then an off-road path. However, we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel through a charming gate and well-maintained car park. The facility itself is beautiful and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. Our room was massive, featuring two separate rooms and a spacious bathroom. The provided robes, in addition to the usual towels, added an extra layer of comfort. The hotel's restaurant looked very inviting, and the live camera feed of the nearby erupting volcano was a fascinating touch, even though the eruption almost caused our flight to be canceled! Due to an early flight, we didn't get a chance to try the breakfast, so I can't comment on that. Overall, staying at Hotel Kríunes was a very pleasant and comfortable experience, offering a perfect retreat to disconnect from the noise of the city.

We loved the whole vibe of the property. Everyone was so friendly, Rokkos the lovely gentleman at the front desk was amazing! He was so helpful and nice. He even helped us set up a little happy hour in the hotel lounge area before we went out for the evening. The location is great- close enough to Reykjavík to visit at day and night but far enough away to get some nature and escape from the city. We even got a view of the northern lights on our balcony 2 of the nights we stayed. 10/10 would stay again. Plus the showers were wonderful- excellent water pressure. Also loved the daily espressos in the lobby.
