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.

Fabulous find, Tindasel Lodge is a bit out of town, we followed google map directions and did quite a few kms on a gravel road, make sure to follow the instructions from the property and there is only a short gravel section. There is a great walk with amazing views of some waterfalls and the volcano just from the carpark. The manager and staff were fantastic, communication from the property was very helpful, dinner menu only small number of choices, continental breakfast was great. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Stracta Hotel, hotel in Hella

This modern hotel is located along the Golden Circle in the south-western town of Hella. It offers free WiFi, a buffet restaurant and bar.

Bistro was welcoming and friendly with a nice causal vibe. Food was good value (for Iceland!). Buffet breakfast was good with a few hot things like bacon, scrambled egg and beans, although I prefer a continental breakfast with ham/cheese/boiled egg etc. I didn’t use the hot tubs/sauna so can’t comment. Rooms were modern and compact - peaceful environment

Hotel Kanslarinn Hella, hotel in Hella

Located on Iceland’s Ring Road in the village of Hella, this hotel is 35 km from central Selfoss. It provides free Wi-Fi, as well as a restaurant with a bar.

The breakfast exceeded our expectations. It was nearly a full English. It is not the smartest of hotels but certainly value for money. Everything is there and the attached restaurant does wholesome food. the rooms are clean and tidy ad the location is convenient for the southern route. Parking is free.

    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

    Most wonderful stay ! After one night we already felt like Unnur & Ingi were our best friends: cracking jokes with all the guests, sharing all their knowledge and tips about the area.... and in fact the whole of Iceland. Unnur is a walking Lonely Planet ! while Ingi serves his pancakes :-) :-). They taught us a lot about birds ( nesting in the lawn ), music, history, restaurants and food, the Icelandic language,..... The rooms were spacious, clean and silent , as were the surroundings. Thank you so much !!! We will be back.

    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 hotel with amazing staff and facilities. I went with my 12 year old son and we had the best experience. If you get the chance, ask the hotel if Fred is available for a private site seeing tour. Fred took us out for the day and it was one of the best experiences I've had. He took us to the most amazing natural wonders of Iceland and is incredibly knowledgeable about the sites and the history of Iceland. He's funny too! Highly recommended!

    The Stracta Hotel is a comfortably generic hotel in Hella. There is nothing especially distinguishing about it in either direction. Our room was spacious, clean and breakfast was solid. Hella is a good base to explore this part of Iceland and the Stracta Hotel worked nicely for us. If our travels return us to this part of Iceland, we would return here without hesitation.

    We stayed in one of the little self contained houses amd they were just perfect. Really nicely designed and comfortable. Staff was great and food in the hotel was lovely traditional Icelandic fair. The breakfast included was really good too. Probably one of the best we had over the two weeks we travelled around Iceland. Really recommend and will stay again if in the area.

    The hotel is relatively closed to the Highlands of Iceland, which would be a good option for those who would like to go to Haifoss and Landmannalaugar. We enjoy the interior design and the view of the hotel. The room is spacious and comfortable. The breakfast tastes good but may be lacking variety as it is a four-star hotel. In general it is a lovely hotel.

    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 stayed in one of the cabins on a November trip to Iceland. Easy to find location and lovely views in the daytime. The cabin was comfortable, warm and spacious for two and the kitchen well equipped (fridge and oven). It was very useful having the restaurant nearby (although we didn't eat there the night we stayed) and the staff were friendly.

    Fabulous location on the riverbank set among pine trees. Hella is on Route One (ring road) and very convenient for South Coast, Thingvellir and Selfoss. The cabins are quite basic but have a fridge, cooking hob and small kitchenette. Beds clean and comfortable - nice and warm to come back to after a late night Aurora Hunting.

    Good hotel and stop over after driving around the golden circle. Nice town with a river to explore. Has a supermarket and some restaurants if you need. We ate at the hotel restaurant that served a delicious lamb! Also had a good selection for breakfast - cereals, baked beans, bacon, fried eggs, toast, spreads, yogurt etc.

    Absolutely charming hosts that are super friendly and ready to help you see all the hidden treasures of south Iceland. Room was very nice - and spotless. So quiet at night - all you could hear were the birds and wind. Great place to get a good rest. Excellent location to Hella and beyond. We will be back!
