I can see why Hali Country Hotel gets good ratings. The rooms are small and very basic, but they are extremely clean and have a private bathroom which is priceless lol The property is beautiful, and it’s a pleasure just to walk around, but the restaurant is a real stand out. The food was wonderful, and it is attached to a museum which was also an unexpected pleasure. The entire staff was delightful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

We had a great experience staying at Hali. The pictures of the property on Expedia kept us wondering what we are going to get but were amazingly surprised with what we got! It was full upper level of a beautiful cottage (which they call apartment). The breakfast had a wide spread and lot of deli made with Lamb meat.

I love this hotel ! It’s quite simple, clean, confortable, not too expansive for iceland, and in a wonderful landscape, very quiet. The restaurant is also very good , with a few local food.
I had a problem with my arrival due to a flight delay, but the staff was very helpful, Thank you !
It’s 10 minutes from Jokulsarlon.

It was all around just mediocre. The only real down side was that staff hadn’t shown up the day of check in. So in turn we had to wait about 45 minutes in the lobby for our room to be ready. Not a horrible place just don’t expect much.

This is an absolutely beautiful location with friendly staff, great food, and clean, comfortable rooms for a reasonable price. The property feels homey, and we would have loved to stay longer than just one night. The were very accommodating to add a fourth bed to a 3-person room, and though they said it would be tight, there was still plenty of space. The restaurant was very expensive, even by Icelandic standards, but the food was good and the convenience of eating on the property after a long day of activities was great. Breakfast was perfect with a lot of homemade items.

The room was decent size, safe and quiet. There was a fridge in the common area that guests could use. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included and it had a large selection. Like other hotels in Europe, they don’t supply washcloths. The surroundings were beautiful.

Wonderful! This was my second time staying at this hotel. Stayed one time in the yellow cottage and one time in the hotel . Accommodations are spacious and clean. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious. The staff went above and beyond to help us with a few minor requests.

Too remote for me and you are pretty much limited to their restaurant onsite unless you want to drive 45 minutes. Although the food was good, it was pricey and not a lot of choices. Rooms were clean but very minimalistic.
