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.

As the enthusiastic team at Adventures Overland, we are thrilled to share our personal experience at Hotel Rangá in Iceland, a place where our travelers' dreams were woven into unforgettable memories. This extraordinary hotel, nestled amidst Iceland's captivating landscapes, captivated our hearts and immersed us in a world of natural wonder and warm hospitality.

The staff's genuine passion for ensuring our comfort and satisfaction made us feel like valued friends, eager to embark on a remarkable journey. Their personal attention and warm smiles created an instant connection, leaving us with a lasting impression of Icelandic hospitality. We could name a thousand good things about this beautiful hotel and their hospitality, but the highlight of it all was when the staff gave us an “aurora wake-up call” and we got to witness the most magnificent phenomenon on earth - Northern Lights right from our windows.

We’ve been organizing trips to Iceland since 2015 and our groups have been staying at this beautiful hotel ever since, which is why we wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Rangá to fellow travelers seeking an immersive and people-centric journey into the heart of Iceland's natural wonders. Thank you, Hotel Rangá, for being a cherished part of our personal adventure and for creating unforgettable moments under the dancing skies of the northern lights.

This is a hotel I’ll never forget! Not only is the staff so amazing and international, but the location and amenities were so comfortable! I was an easy 30 minute to 1 hour drive away from so many incredible sites, which was perfect as I was traveling alone. Justin Bieber & his people also stayed at this hotel so obviously it’s amazing lol

Ranga has an excellent location for foss visiting but also the Northern Lights. There is also an observatory in the grounds which was really cool.

Bar and restaurant great.

Team even better.

Come stay, you won't be sorry!

How this hotel can be described as luxury is beyond me. Very dated and tired and more budget than luxury. Dinner was excellent however but such a shame the hotel isn’t. I would class it as a 3 star, really needs some updating and some atmosphere. Would not return.
