Hotel Rangá, hotel in Hella

Featuring a stargazing observatory on site, this luxury hotel is in an idyllic remote location next to the Rangá salmon river in Hella.

We loved everything about Hotel Rangá. The staff were all lovely and super helpful. The room was really comfortable with a lovely jacuzzi bath in the en-suite. We were lucky to have a north facing room so got a really good view of the Northern Lights. There is an aurora wake up service but we were already up mesmerised by the show outside. The observatory was open on the night we stayed too which was really interesting. We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening but breakfast the next day was one of the best we’ve had in Iceland. So much choice with hot and cold options. We will definitely return in the future.

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful location and spectacular path to the property. It was beautifully furnished and super warm. Although we did not get to see the the northern lights the rain falling on the top of the igloo made us feel really cozy and comfortable. Waking up with the sunrise was super lovely. Highly recommended stay and just an hour away from the capital region of Iceland and a short trip to Hella were you can find something to eat

    The hotel looks way better on the inside than the outside - as you drive up it looks like a cheap motel, but inside it is really nice. Rooms fit 4 comfortably - although no where to sit so longer than one night could be annoying. Breakfast was probably the best hotel breakfast we had in Iceland. Ultimately you stay here because it is close to the south coast sites - and it made it easy for us to explore so we were happy!

    The hotel was excellent, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, I felt like the team went above and beyond to make you feel at home. Magnus, the hotel manager was extremely helpful throughout our stay, he even helped us plan our days, giving us maps and suggestions for other sites to see. They called our room when the northern lights were out, that was helpful.

    Hotel Laekur is a lovely family owned and operated inn about 10 minutes from Hella. A solid breakfast was included in our room rate, we enjoyed dinner one night in the hotel restaurant and the proprietor awakened us (as per our request) to see the Northern Lights (and take our photograph) at 3:45 a.m. We also enjoyed the sauna/hot tub/cold plunge barrel!

    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.

    We booked the Kanslarrin late prior to a last minute visit to Iceland. The place was a convenient stop on the road enroute to the Southeast coast. Although there was some construction on the lobby and restaurant going on, the rooms and bathrooms were lovely and nicely decorated. It was very comfortable and staff were very accommodating.

    The hotel was not very busy during our trip, so it was particularly quiet. The staff was friendly, helpful at all times and communication was unproblematic. We had rented a separate house. The location was beautiful with a view of the river and horses and sheep right next door. We could also watch the northern lights from there.
