    The location of the hotel was perfect for my business trip. It was conveniently close to the airport, allowing for a quick and easy commute. The staff at the hotel were friendly and accommodating, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. the rooftop hot tub provided a great way to unwind after a long day of work.

    One aspect that disappointed me was the lack of variety in the breakfast options. There were not many choices available, which became monotonous after a few days.

    The staff at Midgard were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our stay memorable. The corner room had stunning views and the on-site restaurant had a good variety of options. Stefan's recommendations for off-the-beaten-path attractions were a highlight, including a magical waterfall and a secluded black sand beach. The Northern Lights were even visible from the front door!

    Felt right at home, no complaints.

    loved the cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food at the restaurant. Perfect location for seeing the Northern Lights. We felt at home and will definitely be back!

    Tricky to find, GPS took us on a roundabout route.

    Stayed at a beautifully designed hotel in a great location. The property provided a comfortable and cozy atmosphere, perfect for a short stay. The common areas were spacious and inviting, and the hot tub and sauna on the terrace were a nice touch. The staff was friendly and helpful, offering tips and advice on local attractions. The restaurant served delicious food at reasonable prices, and the buffet Christmas dinner was exceptional. Midgard Base Camp is an ideal base for exploring the stunning south coast of Iceland. I highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.

    My stay at this brand new hostel was absolutely amazing! The facilities were top-notch, with everything being super clean and well-maintained. I loved the spacious showers, toilets, and even the hairdryers provided. The beds were big and comfy, and the curtains provided a nice touch of privacy. The storage options, both under the bed and at the end, were convenient for keeping my belongings safe. The restaurant had delicious food at reasonable prices, and I even got a complimentary drink of my choice. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I really appreciated the attention to design details throughout the hostel.

    No complaints whatsoever! Everything was perfect during my stay here.

    The hostel had a modern vibe and a lovely decor that made for a pleasant stay. The facilities were nice and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The food, particularly the dinner and breakfast, was great. I especially appreciated the privacy curtains in the bunk beds.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, situated near all the key attractions and activities in the area. We were able to easily access the hiking trails and waterfalls, and even found a hidden black sand beach that was absolutely stunning. The staff was also incredibly helpful and provided us with excellent recommendations for local restaurants and sights to see.

    Our experience at the hotel was marred by the noise levels during our stay. On our first night, there were a group of noisy guests in the vicinity of our room, which made it difficult to sleep.

    The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, even planning our daily route for us. The location is ideal for exploring nearby tourist hotspots. The hostel offers free use of crampons during the winter months. The rooftop hot tub and sauna have stunning views. The rooms are comfortable with amazing sights from the huge windows.

    Felt well taken care of, nothing to complain about.

    The rooms were clean and had storage space for luggage, as well as a curtain for privacy. The bathrooms were also clean and there were enough of them, so no long waits. The best part was the sauna and hot tub, perfect after a day of freezing temperatures. Another advantage was the helpful and friendly staff, always ready to give advice.

    The hot tub was extremely dirty, with green algae and scum all over it. It was a big disappointment as we were looking forward to using this facility.
