Very good quality hotel offering rooms, the most luxurious of which have private verandas and a whirlpool bath

Hotel Ranga is a luxury hotel in the south of the country. It's one of the few 4-star hotels in this part of Iceland - a distinction that's amply justified. The building, all in wood, is superb and warm. The rooms are divided between the main building and small individual chalets. Each is uniquely decorated, combining a chic winter chalet ambience with a mix of country and more contemporary furnishings. The most luxurious suites offer private verandas and even a private whirlpool bath. The décor is Scandinavian-inspired in the rooms, and the common areas are also very pleasant, decorated with local works of art carefully chosen by Friðrik Pálsson, the owner. An avid traveler and enthusiast, you're likely to come across him during your stay, and he'll be delighted to share his anecdotes and give you tips for excursions in the region. The Hotel Ranga offers a variety of themed packages, from gourmet experiences to romantic getaways, as well as a range of daytime activities. Thanks to powerful telescopes and a starry sky devoid of light pollution, the Ranga is also the ideal place to observe the famous northern lights. All in all, this is an excellent address, overlooking the river and the Hekla, with a top-quality gourmet restaurant and heated outdoor pool: everything you need for an unforgettable stay.

Fabulous hotel. Friendly and welcoming staff. It is very rustic, cosy and felt like home! Beautiful views of the river, and the backdrop view of Iceland. I loved where the restaurant was located so you can admire the views for any seat as having all glass windows. The breakfast was amazing, and I really like how there was a waffle machine added to the buffet along with the la carte menu. The dinner was unforgettable as I fell in love with the seafood risotto and lamb. So a huge thank you to the Chefs for cooking with true passion. The room was very cosy, and spacious. There was a beautiful hot tub outside for guest to use and to take in the stunning scenery. My favourite touch was the postcard provided from the hotel, as you can write on this postcard and hand to the front desk to send anywhere in the world free of charge. I truly loved this small detail as it makes the hotel so unique. Thank you so much to all of the staff for adding to our amazing experience in Iceland and we look forward to coming back. Take care.
