Lovely and very clean

We had a really lovely stay here. The staff were very kind and the included breakfast was delicious, filling, and very well presented. The hotel is super clean, everything seems brand new and the room was so spacious. We love this part of Iceland so this was a great place for us to stay- we certainly recommend it!

The hotel was absolutely perfect. First, it feels brand new, everything is nice and upgraded. Second, the entire place is well decorated to a little detail. Starting with perfectly aligned lamps in the hall, centerpieces on the tables, absolutely amazing paintings on the walls around the place ( they looked original, not cheap prints), very stylish leather couches in the lobby and so on. The view from the lobby and breakfast area is breathtaking. Breakfast was perfect to my taste with vegetables as one of the options and good coffee. We were also notified to see northern lights when sky cleared up and were able to see it for the first time right from our window.

We stayed at Hotel Stafholt just for one night and really enjoyed it. The location is close to the Ring Road but in a quiet a bit remote area which we liked. The hotel itself is very new and sparkly clean. The bed and linen are beautiful, the bathroom is high quality and I loved a smell of handwash :) Friendly staff, especially Irena. We would definitely stay there again

Stayed in the Aurora cabin and it was incredible. Private and cozy. Gorgeous Auroras and falling stars. Bathroom was beautiful. Floors heated throughout. The main Inn was beautiful too. Nice ambiance. Nice bar area with nice sitting area. We did not eat at the resturant, but wished we would of because it looked lovely and the dinner look good ( private Christmas party). Service was excellent. Very clean. Breakfast included was adequate. Wished we would of booked extra night. I highly recommend. Best place we stayed in Iceland.
Beautiful shower in bathroom with heated floors
So many light options to chose from. Beautiful inside.
Auroras and many falling stars throughout the night. Lucky to have clear skies. So many stars.

Hotel Stafholt is a great spot for day trips west of Reykjavik. It's a lovely hotel in a fairly remote setting, with Borgarnes possibly being the closest town. There is so much to see and do right around the hotel, but eating options seem limited, so fill up on the hotel's nice breakfast spread before heading out! The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed with pleasant views. The bathrooms are large with nice amenities. Everything was in new condition, well-kept, clean, and comfortable. Staff members were all lovely and fun to chat with. We would certainly stay here again!

Magical stay

So lovely! The room was very modern and clean. We only stayed for one night, but wished we had stayed for longer. Breakfast was included with the room and included lots of fresh delicious options. We arrived very late and they kindly left the key out so we could get into our room on arrival. We also saw the Northern lights outside on arrival - so magical!

This hotel is pretty new and it’s really beautiful and inviting. The lobby area is gorgeous and the breakfast room was really nice. The rooms are large, stylish, and have wonderful views to the countryside. This is a great location for Aurora viewing! We had to drive a little ways to get dinner but liked having an outing to explore. The staff are very helpful and we enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. We had some trouble with our door sticking but eventually figured it out. Highly recommend this place!
