Pros:

If you need to stay in this general area, this is a basic hotel with no frills. The bathroom was really lacking with hardly any toiletries and a shower that barely worked. The included breakfast buffet, gets the job done, but it's nothing noteworthy. The staff did help correct a room problem from booking by offering a rollaway bed which made the stay feasible for one night. It is not close to restaurants, so plan accordingly as there are quite a few restaurants in the nearby town.

Pros:

We were checking in late and I received a call to give me Instructions on check in, door code etc. when we arrived the lobby was closed and dark. There was a personal note on the desk with tea lights with our room number and key, breakfast info etc. There were snacks left out for us. Fruit, cakes, juice etc. The room was very spacious, clean, furniture mismatched, making it charming and eclectic! Beds were very comfortable. Very nice sitting areas off lobby with books and games.
Did not use hot tub due to late arrival. Free breakfast was plentiful, with much variety. We stayed in a different hotel every night while in Iceland, and this was our favorite. In the middle of nowhere it was a true hidden gem. The personal phone call from the manager to confirm our arrival and leaving us snacks was awesome. There’s a lot to be said for the little things.The personal service was top notch. Morning clerk was a lovely young lady, very helpful to all the guests. Loved our stay, would definitely stay again. Such a wonderful.

Pros:

For what we paid, we got an amazing deal compared with other hotels that we paid double that! For under $200, you get very decent breakfast. Access to hot tub, sauna, floors are heated in the room bathroom, as well as towel rack is heated too! We stayed at "fancy" hotels afterwards that end up costing us $500 per night and they didn't even offer half of what Kvika provided.

Pros:

Great little place for a stay near Selfoss. The rooms are clean and easy parking. Hot tub and sauna out back is a nice addition, and the free breakfast in the morning had a wide selection, from waffles and pancakes to bacon and eggs. The lady at reception was very kind and welcoming. Thanks for the stay!

Pros:

By far the best value of the hotels we stayed in. A welcoming host who offered excellent travel advice, free cookies, cake, tea and coffee in the evening. Breakfast was the equal of hotels costing twice as much. Honestly, I was kind of sorry that this was the first hotel we stayed at in Iceland, because it made all the others seem disappointing! Would definitely go out of my way to stay here again.

Schönes Hotel mit tollen Service
Pros:

Sehr nette Begrüßung auf Deutsch - wir haben viele Tipps und Restaurantempfehlungen bekommen. Hot Tube war klasse - mit einer indirekter Beleuchtung wäre es perfekt gewesen. Zimmer sind schön, sauber und geräumig. Das Frühstück war reichhaltig und sehr lecker. Stets kostenfrei verfügbar: Kaffee/Tee, Obst und Kuchen im Foyer. Viele gemütliche Sitzecken (hyggelig) und ein schöner Wintergarten runden das Ambiente ab. Preis/Leistung stimmt hier voll - Fazit: sehr empfehlenswert

Pros:

We booked a stay in the morning on the very night. Unfortunately, the weather then considerably deteriorated and a red alert was enforced on the whole region, which prevented us from driving to the hotel. Considering the short delay between the booking and the red alert, we ask the hotel if we could make an arrangement regarding the reimbursement of the night, which was refused. We feel like this was an exceptional situation of “force majeure”, we haven’t use the facilities and it is likely that the booked room would not have been booked by someone else anyway due to the short delay. We feel like we have been robbed from our money and that this hotel takes advantage of tourists. I have been in other hotels where arrangements were possible despite a so-called “48h non-reimbursement policy”.

Pros:

The property location was excellent. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and, bathroom was clean and water pressure was perfect. The front desk staff was very courteous. Tea, coffee, cookies, water, juice, cake was there all the time for the guests. Breakfast was very good.
The hot tub and sauna was available 24 hours which was so good and relaxing. The hotel being away from the ciry lights next to the mountains made the Northern lights view extra clear and special. Would love to stay there again.
