The Drangshlíð Inn

房間很舒適，周邊有特色的石房子，周邊的景色很美，如果天氣好在酒店就有機會能看到極光

Room is very basic. No tv. No phone. Warm. Amenities are very basic. Stopped here one night with tour. Clean. Area around hotel is beautiful. Mountains and sheep are pleasant to see.

This place is simple but lovely, and the only reason it doesn't have a perfect rating from me is largely due to factors outside of the hotel's control (mainly location - there's nothing around, and you need to drive everywhere). The instructions for self-check in were clear and the process was smooth. The beds in the room could easily be pushed together for couples, or kept separate. We did have to squeegee the shower after each use, but everything was always clean. The included breakfast had more variety than I expected, including some homemade bread options. The common space was large and comfortable, great for my family to meet up every night and debrief the day over hot chocolate/coffee/tea (available 24/7). Although the hotel itself is isolated, the location is actually perfect for exploring nearby waterfalls, and Vik. The cost to stay here was way cheaper than anything I saw in Vik, and it served as an excellent base camp for three days of exploring.

We booked 3 rooms for our family for 2 nights. Our stay was comfortable and clean - no frills, kind of place. The location is convenient for exploring Vík and Skogar, which we used as our 2-day base. Breakfast was great, a nice buffet of everything. We liked that they kept the coffee and tea bar open to enjoy all day and we used the lobby sitting area for playing board games (they have some there) and socializing. Hairdryers are communal, in a basket in the lobby, to use and return. We ate both dinners in VÍk and enjoyed their community swimming pool/hot tub/sauna about $10 usd each. There’s no restaurant currently on-site at the hotel. A few suggestions: add some outdoor furniture to their empty patio outside the front lobby and maybe some picnic tables around the property. They do have beautiful views to take in. Guests would enjoy that! Also, they wanted us to do a self check-in via an email, which we never received. We had to call a # and then wait for someone to come to check-in, since the email didn’t work. In addition, when we checked-out, two women were at the front desk, but didn’t bother to look away from their computer to say goodbye and ensure we had a nice stay, so we just left the key card. Part of traveling and retaining guests is having “a personal touch” aspect to hospitality. Meeting a local, having someone to inquire about suggestions/things to do, makes traveling better. Therefore, removing staff from a desk makes a no frills hotel, even colder. That’s just my opinion.
