Beautiful view from the rooms on the hvalfjörður side, the dinning room and lounge area were outstanding. The staff were very helpful and attentive, we very much appreciated their attention to us as tired travelers on our first night in Iceland. The hotel manager was extremely approachable, friendly, he answered all of our questions, and gave us great information for the next few days of our adventure. The property is under new ownership as of early 2026 and they are making visible improvements. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast was also very good. We asked for our thermos to be filled with boiling water and we had hot water for tea and coffee all day! The bed was very comfortable although they are upstairs in a loft. The hotel is very quiet and we did not hear noise from other guests. Highly recommended, and we would stay here again, especially as a base hotel to hike to the Glymer waterfall on a future trip.

The hotel staff were very welcoming! The meals offered and bar had excellent options, even for me when I have to eat gluten free. Hotel is a little dated but comfortable accommodations and nice size rooms and bathroom.

Meget smukt beliggende hotel, med fantastisk udsigt til hvalfjorden, og fjeldene omkring. Meget hyggelig indretning af såvel værelser, som fællesarealer. Dejlig loungeområde, med udsigt over fjorden. Veltillavet og velsmagende middag og morgen. Hyggeligt værtspar og god betjening. Stemningen på dette smukke sted, emmer af æstetisk ro. Hot tubs med udsigt over Hvalfjorden, kan varmt anbefales uanset vejrlig, og efter en dag i bil, på cykel eller vandrestøvler, en skøn måde at slappe af på, inden middagen🤗❤️ Stedet kan varmt anbefales!

Cozy and spacious rooms. Only 50 mins drive from Reykjavik but yet a good place to see northern light. Breakfast is excellent and staffs are helpful.

Second time at the Hotel Glymur for a romantic getaway. Beautiful & peaceful boutique hotel is perched on one of the largest Fjord's in Iceland. Amazing views from the main hotel, especially from the restaurant and seating area. Two wonderful hot pots overlooking the fjord at the main hotel with the larger cottages having their own hot pot. Breakfast is amazing with fresh fruits, cooked eggs, bacon, yogurts, cereals, & smoked salmon. Dinner was delicious. Hotel has a relaxed vibe and the customer service is spot on often with the staff going above and beyond. Comfy beds with cosy bedding ensure a restful night sleep. Close to Glymur falls the second tallest waterfall in Iceland.

We had a really marvelous stay. We were there two days and had dinner and breakfasts there. We thought that the food was quite excellent. Maybe they have a new chef because this was the best we had in Iceland and we had some very good meals. Breakfasts had a very good variety and was fresh and well prepared (smoked salmon, eggs prepared in various way, variety of breads and juices, a wide choice of jams, fresh croissants etc. The view from the dining room was also awe inspiring. The staff were very friendly and supportive and they addressed any issues we had right away. We upgraded to one of the villas when we saw that hotels.com had a very good price. The villa had more space than we needed but it was great to have our own hot tub, fridge, microwave, dining table etc. Everything was in excellent condition. The bedroom had a very good set of blackout shades which is important in summer in Iceland (surprised that other hotels did not always have them). The villa also had excellent wifi. The area has some wonderful hikes and it is not too far to the Snaefellsnes peninsula which is a fantastic day trip. We couldn't have been happier - and we are recommending this place to our friends.

Views over the fjord are astonishing. Lovely and quiet this was our favourite place we stayed on our trip. Cabin was huge and had everything we needed. Dinner in main hotel on both nights was gorgeous and staff extremely helpful. Will definitely be staying here again on future trips
