Magma Hotel - Kirkjubaejarklaustur

central hub for exploring fine waterfalls and serene parks

Staying here allowed us easy access to both the amazing stjornarfoss waterfall just under 3 km away and peaceful walking trails leading to gorgeous views. The cozy cabin vibe was lovely, but the breakfast menu could use more vegan options for greater variety.

I greatly enjoyed being there, the place is wonderful and cool.

All in all - had a nice sunny 1 night stay. The staff were super-friendly, amicable and helped me with free parking. I've booked family room with wide windows providing ample view of the nature outside and everything was great.

The breakfast was wonderful and perfect, we enjoyed lots of meals. The location is fantastic and amazing, on a lake which is tranquil.

Fine lakeside views enhanced our experience.

I encountered several disappointments. The breakfast options were severely limited, with almost no variety, especially lacking vegan selections. Access to the hotel was tricky due to poor ice removal. Although the cozy atmosphere was appealing, these issues significantly detracted from my overall experience.

Definitely a Cozy Getaway for Couples

I loved the little personal touches like the heated bathroom floors and the super comfy beds. Plus, we had our own little patio by the lake where we watched the northern lights dance above. It was very nice!

Sure, it wasn't exactly cheap, but honestly it was worth it.

Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

I loved the cozy cabin vibes! Each room is its own private chalet, providing fine lakeside views. Plus, the heated bathroom floors were pure bliss after a chilly day exploring!

100% recommend 🥰💖

The rooms were beautifully decorated with modern amenities, and I appreciated the accessibility features. The fine views of the lake and surrounding landscapes from my cozy cabin.

Improved ice removal for safer access would be helpful.

We explored fine waterfalls and chased the northern lights. The cabin vibe was perfect, especially with the beautiful views and cozy atmosphere. Breakfast was decent, and the shower had great pressure.

It was easy to take short hikes to the glacial lake and see the fine moss-covered lava fields. I appreciated the friendly atmosphere at the restaurant where we had hearty meals. The location allowed us to see the northern lights. We felt at home in this hidden gem while enjoying our road trip through Iceland.

The breakfast menu could use more vegan options.

The cozy cabin vibe exceeded my expectations, especially with fine lake views and a serene atmosphere. Breakfast offered a delicious variety of options, and the staff were genuinely helpful.

Our family had a wonderful one-night stay here. The spacious Family Room provided us with plenty of comfort to rest after a long day of exploring nearby attractions, including stunning waterfalls. The food at dinner was impressive, and breakfast the next morning satisfied our needs before hitting the road again. The responsive reception staff made our last-minute dinner reservation easy. It was an enjoyable stop on our journey along the South Coast.

Having our own cozy cabin with fine lake views was lovely! The artistic decor and peaceful atmosphere.

I stayed at Magma for two nights in January 2024. The location is fantastic, perfect for exploring the south coast. The room was clean and had a cozy atmosphere, great. I loved the comfortable beds and the heated bathroom floors. The views from my window over the surrounding hills were fine. The restaurant offered delicious dinner options, but breakfast was quite basic with limited choices. I felt the breakfast could have more variety, especially for those looking for vegan options. One significant inconvenience was the front desk. They weren't available 24/7. I needed assistance one night and had to wait. The door locks were tricky to operate. It would be great if they could improve on that. Despite these small issues, I really enjoyed my time and would come back to explore more.

Can just recommend for a stopover

Fantastic location, fantastic food, the restaurant serves some of the best meals I've ever had with a super classy atmosphere, and the staff were helpful when clearing snow around our car and sharing tips about catching the aurora.

For us it was ideal.

The property was clean and featured very modern design. the breakfast was enjoyable and perfect, the best I've ever had, with gluten-free bread, a nice coffee machine, and scrambled eggs. the hotel's location was amazing and beautiful, adjacent to the bistro, reception, and restaurant.
