The staff were the highlight including the chef but the hotel is in dire need of a facelift, including new hot tubs.

Welcoming Staff
Pros:

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.

Villa Creativity... was simply spectacular...

Rarely does a place not only meet all you’d hoped for, but exceed it... in every best way. Very special place.

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

The service was amazing. The food at the restaurant was excellent. The ONLY downside is the rooms have one large chair in the tv area and the rooms in the main lodge are three levels. The stairs to the bed (upstairs) have a metal piece that we kept hitting out feet on. Not a reason not to stay in this beautiful place but just beware.

This place deserves more stars
Pros:

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.
