Skálakot Manor Hotel

We had an excellent stay at Skalakot and wished we could have stayed longer. The property is so beautiful and our room was very spacious. We also really enjoyed the fireplace lounge after dinner. The spa was worth the extra fee and a very relaxing experience. Dinner was so delicious and relaxing as well. We were part of a larger group and that didn’t impact the quality of our meal. Our breakfast was also delicious and the staff even accommodated an early departure with to go boxes and coffee. They truly took the time and effort to make sure every bit of our stay was taken care of, even for just one night. If we ever return to Iceland, I would make it a point to spend more time at Skalakot for some rest and relaxation.

I have traveled extensively over the past 20 years, and Skalakot is easily one of my favorite and most memorable hotels. Skalakot hotel is nestled between a beautiful view of the ocean horizon and a backdrop of awe inspiring mountains whilst also sitting in a tiny town and on a small farm-like property with Icelandic horses. Then, the inside of the hotel is soaked in charm and coziness. The finishes are on point, and the bedroom view was perfect. Next, the dining lived up to the hype, in particular the chowder and goulash. Furthermore, although we did not opt to use it, the spa looked really nice and very tempting. Lastly, the personnel were so nice and kind. I'm so grateful I ended up staying here.

Absolutely amazing food! We want to hire their chef for our wedding that how good it was. Hotel it’s clean and safe, quite, great spacious rooms. We had a suite that had a bathtub in the middle , really great room worth every penny Thank you

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights while travelling and exploring the southern areas of Iceland. This is truely one of those small boutique country house hotels in the middle of nowhere. Reception staff were excellent. Very helpful. The lady manager was very accommodating and helpful and seemed eager to please. Oddly, the restaurant staff also doubled up at reception. Multitasking. The room I got was a suite, which was adequately sized but has the smallest bathroom I’ve ever encountered! I could hardly shower properly! The water pressure from the shower was weak. The sink was very small and everything in the bathroom was very cramped. That made the whole experience rather bad for me. The bed was ok. Not firm enough. Pillows way too soft for my liking. The hotel had no firm pillows. You’d have to ask for amenities such as room slippers, etc. There was no body lotion provided. I found some of the furniture to be very old and dusty and there was sand on the bench in the bedroom. Not enough luggage racks provided. The best thing about the hotel was the breakfast. A very nice selection of fruits, cold cuts, cereals and breads / pastries. The same restaurant is where you’d have your dinner. The food was good but not great. The northern lights are often visible from this hotel as it’s very dark outside at night.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay - service and food were delightful!

Unique property. Horses everywhere! We saw the northern lights right off the balcony

Such a beautiful spot to stay! It’s very close to so many of the sight seeing spots in south Iceland. The staff are extremely kind and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Everything is decorated beautifully. My 7 year old son loved playing with the dogs (his favorite part of our trip) and seeing the horses. We will definitely come back!

We were greeted upon arrival with the biggest smile and every staffer we met the couple of days we stayed at the hotel could not have been nicer. Our room was comfortable and having a view of the Westman Islands and the sun pouring into our room (obviously constantly because of the time of the year ;-) was so wonderful. We needed to take advantage of their lift to bring our luggage up to our room and it was so helpful. But what really impressed us was the staff, and they're from all over the world. The owners know how to interview and bring in the sweetest, most helpful young people.
