The most wonderful location! Quaint and Quality are the words I would use to describe this hotel. Boutique style.
Staff was excellent, friendly and extremely knowledgeable of area. Mikki the dog was a lovely surprise and super cute.
Food both for breakfast (included with room) and dinner were expertly prepared.
We watched the Northern Lights from our bed and then took photos in the parking lot and all around the grounds.
Loved the hot tubs!!
Would return and stay again. Highly recommend

This property did not live up to my expectations- I expected it to be much nicer based on pics and reviews. Not only were the bathrooms small (as mentioned in many other reviews) but the sinks were so tiny and so low, and at such an odd angle, that it was impossible to wash my face without my feet and the floor getting soaked. There was no counter space in the bathroom. Unfortunately, we stayed there on a rainy day, and it just wasn’t the type of room. You really wanted to spend a lot of time in.
On a positive note, we did have dinner there one evening, and it was excellent, both the food, the service, and the setting.

Great facility, we wish we stayed there extra time. Make sure to have breakfast and dinner at the hotel, it is one of the best during our trip while in Iceland. I had the best pork chop dish there. Will visit again if I have a chance again.

Beautiful property and the in hotel restaurant was amazing food. Short drive to a geothermal bath nearby too. The rooms were a little warm for me, but I don't think Iceland has AC. Definitely worth the stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Varmaland. The property was beautiful. The room was nice and spacious. The bathroom was very small. The sink was so small that it was almost unusable. The shower did have a curtain; however, the shower itself was so little that the curtain kept rubbing up against you. We loved the breakfast and it was included with the stay.
