Hótel Lækur, hotel in Hella

The family-owned Hótel Lækur is set on an Icelandic horse farm, between the Golden Circle and the south coast. Hella is 10 minutes’ drive away. It offers a sun terrace and a guest lounge.

Beautiful location, quiet surroundings, lovely dining room, staff was friendly, the room/bathroom was clean. We agreed that this was a place we could come back to and spend several days. Delicious breakfast included with our booking, all kinds of food available. We didn't take the opportunity to use the sauna or the hot tub which was our loss. We missed out on dinner too. Can't say enough nice things.

    Hella a bit sparse.

    Hella a bit sparse. No good restaurants that we found and they stop serving at 9pm. Not much to Hella but it was in the countryside and we saw the Northern Lights. Our hotel was well lit so we could find it but they would not turn off the lights to view the Northern Lights better.

    Small central town, great for staying at the igloos, and great for going all round. So nice to go east to Vik for the Katla ice caves, skogafoss and the waterfall hike, and Vik beach and west for kerid crater and blue lagoon and then north for gullfoss and the geysers. The town itself has a small supermarket, nice bakery and okay places to eat. Looks pretty with the mountains to the side.

    We were not happy with the accommodation.

    We were not happy with the accommodation. The front desk staff were disorganized. We were told a day before check that we would have 2 cabins instead of the 2 rooms we booked in the main hotel. When we arrived we were told we would get 2 cabins. When we checked I across the street, we were told we had one cabin which was a downgrade for us. One adult had to sleep in an upper bunk bed and the cabin was smelly , some windows did not fully close and the main door did not lock. We were quite disappointed in the accommodations. The cabin was not in good shape. We specifically booked 2 rooms to get 2 bathrooms period. Based in all of this, we would like to request a partial refund.

    Extremely lousy management, relocated and downgraded to s cabin nearby with no wifi, handwash or toiletries. Reason given- overbook, well not a acceptable reason in 2023! Avoid at any cost, overpriced for bad service

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views.

    Beautiful, clean, modern home with spectacular views. Location of home is quiet, on a horse farm, about 30 minutes from the main town of Selfoss. It was a good location to explore the south. We would stay there again!

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1.

    Terrible relocation experience due to overbooking. 1. Unacceptable reason of overbooking in real time booking system especially we have fully paid. 2. The selection of customers for relocation is not transparent, not logical and also not acceptable, especially we have fully paid in serval months (confirmed and paid on 4 Feb 2023 for the booking on 1-3 Aug) 3. We booked 3 rooms (7 persons) for 2 nights (1-3 Aug). Maybe pre-empting us can release more rooms for others, and maximize the revenue as we might paid less (booked in 6 months in advance) 4. Very short notice ie we received the relocation message at 16:18 on 1 Aug that we were on the way to Legendary Hotel Hella. I strongly believe the overbooking happened at least a month ago but I had only 2 hours notification time 5. 2 receptionists are inexperienced to handle such disaster issue. The manager, the decision maker, was hidden and not face to or talk to the customer directly. 2 Receptionists were not able to explain the situation nor to comport their customers. 6. We were relocated to Bru Country Estate, that required us to drive about 1 hour to there. 7. Hotel Hella booked 3 rooms for us (7 persons) in Bru Country Estate for us but there are only double rooms (no triple room) in Bru Country Estate. It created another problem during the careless relocation booking. 8. We booked a local tour to Highland on 2 Aug. The itinerary was changed and shorted due to longer travel time starting from Selfoss instead of Hella

    Nothing, we didn’t stay at all. Checked in around 7 pm only got the keys as we were late for dinner at another restaurant, sure what can go wrong. Came back at 10 pm to find dirty cabin - can understand these things happen however no one to contact, reception closed,messaged the property no answer called the number multiple times no answer. In the middle of the Iceland 10 pm pissing rain. Luckily another property down the road had extra room for the night. Also messaged the property multiple times days after this still no reply.

    Hotel Hella was a haven in the midst of a terrible snowstorm when the driving was nearly impossible with a 2 WD car with summer tires. We hadn't planned on staying in Hella, but couldn't get any further and were lucky there was a room available. The staff were so nice and accommodating. The snow was so deep it took 4 people to shovel out a place to park our car. We felt so fortunate to stay in a nice quiet room while the storm raged outside. The staff were exceptionally nice.

    Such a wonderful ambiance and the food was excellent. We can never thank everyone at Hotel Ranga enough for making our vacation in Iceland the trip of a lifetime. The time the owner and GM spent with us talking about Iceland and how they made us feel very special while there we will always treasure. I always thought we would make one trip to Iceland but after our stay at Hotel Ranga I’m fairly certain we will be back. Thank you, The Gilroy Family

    I loved the place! It was our favourite house in our Icelandic trip. We were family of 5 and this house outside of Hella is just a paradise. Hot-tub is just lovely to have and Linda is wonderful to talk, very quick in replying. All was just perfect and I would love to come back! Kitchen is so stylish, Kjarval book of paintings was great to read and bathrobes were a cherry on top. I highly recommend this oasis. Takk fyrir!

    Very friendly and comfortable environment with the cabin style hotel living up to expectations (except we weren't fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights from there). The only hotel during our trip to offer a fresh cooked breakfast option and dinner was delicious, if a little expensive. To make the most of your stay you need to eat in, as the hotel is quite a distance outside of Hella. Staff were excellent.

    Really unique location, surrounded by trees on the edge of a majestic river. Well maintained paths made for a magical early morning walk during our winter stay. Extremely clean and well-designed modern cabin. Bed was super comfy. The compact kitchen has everything you need for meal prep. Highly recommend a tour of the Hella Caves, located nearby.

    We had a great stay and really enjoyed it. It was a lovely change to staying in hotels. The hosts were so welcoming and could not have been more helpful, with information on Icelandic culture and tips on what we should see and do. Having access to a kitchen was great and the waffles in the morning were delicious - thank you!

    Loved this beautiful guest house. We stayed here one night but wish I had stayed more, as I later realized that the chances of seeing northern lights in Hella are quite high. - Perfect cozy and comfy room - Common dining, kitchen and seating area with all the amenities - Yummiest heart shaped waffles by the amazing host
