This hotel was in a beautiful area! Lots of opportunities for hiking and sight seeing. The room was the biggest room we had in all of Iceland - which was a perfect recharge. They even had 1 or 2 board games in the lobby to play at the end of the day! Only complaint would be the breakfast was very minimal - it was the smallest/worst breakfast option we had on our trip. Otherwise, great hotel!

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location. The dinner and breakfast were great, the rooms are a nice size and the property has a heated tub where you can look out at the valley. When we booked this hotel I read the reviews and noticed that several mentioned you have to take a dirt road to get here. Prior to the trip I did not think this was a big concern - note that this hotel is 30km off of the ring road coming from the counter clock wise direction. This was a one night stop for us and while the hotel was lovely it was very much out of the way. The only thing there is the hotel. If you want dinner, you will need to eat it at the hotel or bring something. (The dinner is great). I don't think this is a great overnight stop based on how out of the way it is - if you are looking to relax in nature for a few nights it is a lovely stop.

Perfect hospitality and serenity. Off the beaten path, but charming and absolutely worth a visit. The Basalt Hotel is in a convenient location centrally located to see the sights in Iceland.
