Tindasel Lodge, hotel in Hella

Located in Hella, 36 km from Seljalandsfoss, Tindasel Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

This is a beautiful, newly built property, with really lovely design and layout. It’s in a remote location which adds to the charm but it’s a drive to the nearest shops or restaurants. I ate before I arrived because I was unsure what food was available but there is a small menu that would have been sufficient for me. The breakfast provided was lovely. As many other reviews have mentioned, Bernat, the manager is wonderful. He really looks after his guests and he provides generouse, attentive and friendly service and brilliant information.

Stracta Hotel, hotel in Hella

This modern hotel is located along the Golden Circle in the south-western town of Hella. It offers free WiFi, a buffet restaurant and bar.

Bistro was welcoming and friendly with a nice causal vibe. Food was good value (for Iceland!). Buffet breakfast was good with a few hot things like bacon, scrambled egg and beans, although I prefer a continental breakfast with ham/cheese/boiled egg etc. I didn’t use the hot tubs/sauna so can’t comment. Rooms were modern and compact - peaceful environment

The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. Location was great, we were looking for something remote and the size was perfect for a couple. The hosts were really lovely and even left us a gift to celebrate our engagement which happened half way through our trip. Can’t recommend enough!

    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. 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

    The hotel listed a hot tub - but we were told upon arrival that it wasn't completed yet. This was a disappointment. The bed and room was comfortable and well set up. Excellent shower. The door access key was complicated and we had to go down to the front desk twice to get help. The television didn't work and the manager needed to re-boot the entire system. Food was good, though menu was the same for the two nights. Breakfast was good. Restaurant staff were very polite and helpful - but always seemed very rushed and stressed.

    Everything about Hotel Ranga was wonderful. Our rooms were upgraded at check-in without asking - which was an unexpected surprise and we were thrilled with our rooms - spacious and lovely and the bathroom was very roomy and the tub was fantastic! The entire hotel was beautiful, loved the bar and the billiards room. We used the hot tubs also and that was a lovely way to end the evening. Dinner was fabulous, the staff was super friendly. The welcome cocktails were also so appreciated. I cannot say enough times how much we loved our stay.

    Cozy cabin feel hotel, but rooms are very spacious and service excellent across the board. We had very welcoming service, and excellent restaurant experience as well both nights. Most uniquely, its an isolated and peaceful location, with star/sky observatory hut 3 min walk from hotel. They gave a wonderful skygazing session explaining the incredible skyscape you see given you are in low-light pollution area, and most importantly we saw the Northern Lights for over an hour in middle of this session!

    This is the best stay we had in our 10 night tour of Iceland. A few minutes outside of Hella in a very quiet location, the duplex is updated with modern decor and very well equipped. We enjoyed the private hot tub on the private deck. Beautiful views. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. There are plenty of pillows and extra blankets although this was not needed as the apartment was nice and warm upon arrival. Host is very attentive via messenger. Our only regret is that we didn't book two nights.

    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!

    Great small hotel. My room was good sized, and gave me room to get set-up for racing The Rift gravel race. There was an in-room minifridge that was great to have. Breakfast in the attached restaurant was free and had plenty of options. I was able to make over-night oats and bring them back to my room for race day when I would be leaving before breakfast service started. This was extremely helpful.

    Either a short stop on the road or a stay as starting point for excursions. A hidden gem. More family home than hotel, staff was very nice and helpful, breakfast beat everything else we experienced on the trip, great coffee (a decent plus!) and the dinner provided showed the excellent cooking skills. Go for the dessert as well! Hot tub available.

    Off the beaten path this charming hotel is a welcoming stop. The owners & staff are fabulous. The setting is serene, clean & green. Meals are worth staying for - with an exceptional dinner menu. It was our first night of our Iceland trip & we can’t imagine a better venue.

    The hotel was well located at the end of the Golden Circle drive and provided spotless spacious rooms. The simple bar and restaurant provided sound meals with the included breakfast being generous and with lots of options. A good safe option to start the Ring Road drive.
