The Magma Hotel was very nice and in a great location, however, I feel like it wasn't a great value for my money comparable to the other places I stayed during our time in Iceland. Additionally, their website lists laundry service yet it doesn't exist. This amenity is one of the main reasons i selected this hotel so it was disappointing to discover that it was no longer available. All that being said, the staff were all quite friendly the view from oir cottage over the pond was wonderful!

Very nice and clean place. The included breakfast was excellent—fresh and delicious every day. I understand that AC may not be necessary in the rooms, but they should at least provide a fan. We left the window slightly open, but it wasn't enough—I was sweating at night. The blankets they provide are also quite warm. The view from my room was incredibly beautiful. I would recommend Magma Hotel to any friends or family visiting Iceland.

We loved our stay at the Magma Hotel. It was serene and made us feel like we were truly experiencing the calm of Iceland. The cabins are a good size with stunning views, the beds were super comfy, and they provide binoculars which we loved since there were so many unique birds in the pond we overlooked! The staff was very welcoming and helpful which was reassuring since the location is decently far from a city/town (Kirkjubaejarklaustur has a small grocery store but the hours are a bit limited and it's the only town for miles). Having breakfast included is a luxury and was very convenient before starting our long days of exploring. There were a lot of different options. The location is also convenient as it allows you to be an hour closer to Vatnajokull National Park than Vik. We would definitely stay here again!

This hotel was perfect, the room was modern yet cozy, a perfect place to relax after a long day of exploration. The included breakfast was great, and the restaurant was so cute, looked like something out of a hallmark movie. We were even able to see the northern lights off of our back deck!
