Really nice property. However a really poor experience at the end of our stay spoiled it. Do better ‘The Retreat’.
Converted Water Tower is located in Grindavík, just 5.7 miles from Blue Lagoon and 26 miles from Keilir Golf Club. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

It was an easy walk from the airport. It had a free breakfast. The room was quiet and comfortable. Staff (except 1) were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. It was very clean.
This hotel offers a free drop-off shuttle service to the neighboring Keflavík International Airport between 04:00 and 10:00. WiFi and private parking are also free.

Big and comfy bed and adequate for a short stay since we needed it only for one night before heading to a morning flight. Breakfast choice in the morning is also pretty decent. A start of the room is the bathroom - awesome shower!
A short drive away from the airport as well but still quite expensive for what it was.

Unique, modern layout and design with friendly staff and very early morning shuttle service (5:45am - thank you Irma!). Lucking out with small heated pool overlooking ocean on top floor and all to myself at end of a long day was amazing.
Great location 10 minutes from the Blue lagoon. We stayed here on our first night in Iceland going straight from the airport to the Blue lagoon then checked in.
Not a lot here but there’s a pretty church here
Tip: don’t buy supplies in the airport shop - we stocked up & it cost us a fortune. There’s a Netto in Grindavík

Grindavik is a small, beautiful fishing village close to the Geldingadalur volcano (but not too close) and the Blue Lagoon. It has many excellent hiking opportunities and great restaurants. Grindavik is surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape. Whale-watching, fishing, mountaineering, very friendly people, safe environment, you name it, Grindavik has it all!

Great location for Meradalir.
Great location for Meradalir. Fabulous fish and chips at Papas - Grindavik is a fishing town, so all fish is fresh that morning. Lovely walking around the town. Very peaceful. Great for exploring south coast and peninsula. Only 25 mins from Keflavik.

We stopped for one night during our Iceland tour to visit the Blue Lagoon and Fagradalsfjall, the volcano that erupted in 2021 and is still smoldering several months later. Grindavik is a working fishing village with a few local restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy, so is a really good spot to stay for a day when touring Iceland. It is not touristy though so don’t expect lots of shops selling the usual.

Grindavik is a lovely town with a huge fisherman history.
Grindavik is a lovely town with a huge fisherman history. It's super close to the Blue lagoon and volcano so, there are many options for hiking or relaxing. There's a grill place with a super nice man who told me a little about the history and life of Grindavik's people and he also sells awesome hotdogs. Wish I could've stayed longer but a huge storm came so I had to run away :)
The cottages were just as described. A neat package. Good views over the harbour. Nice easy drive from the airport and on the doorstep of Blue Lagoon so we stayed two nights so we could have a leisurely few hours at the lagoon. Interesting walk around the coast to the lighthouse too.
And Papa's nearby does the best fish and chips we have EVER tasted - seriously tender and obviously fresh out of the water - Grindavik is a fishing hub.
Oh and my daughter saw the northern lights here briefly - only time on our 10 day visit!
We had previously stayed in Hella experiencing what Iceland has to offer and it was amazing. As it was a belated honeymoon we thought we'd stay a couple days at the retreat to experience what it had to offer. Unfortunately the only thing we liked was the staff, room & cleanliness. The hotel was decorated well and looked nice. The private spa lagoon was a nice intimate touch for relaxing away from the blue lagoon crowd. The breakfast was nice and was hosted in the main lobby. You also get an additional Afternoon tea experience.
This was my second time at this guesthouse. Nice location, good facilities. Comfortable room and bathroom.
It is painfull to get a request from Booking for a review at this time. I know of the current situation in Grindavik, and I hope and prey that everyone stays safe and the volcano will not erupt this time. I do hope and pray that the evacation will end soon, everyone is home for Christmas, and the town will heal. Lots of love!
Check in process was clunky as no staff was present for assistance. There were no instructions as to check in process. No in-person assistance was available during our stay. The host did answer the phone readily when we called upon arrival. The room was large and well appointed. Accommodations were clean. Only one of the three beds was made up. Grindavik is a small town so location is not an issue.
Excellent customer services, especially from Karolina and Tim. They gave good advice for my day trips and help organize transport to & from airport.
Very close to Blue Lagoon (hotel has free shuttle to & from)! Nearby lava field and hiking trails for short day trip.
Good selection for buffet breakfast. What's best is ability to see northern lights with the help of hotel wake up calls.
The studio we got was perfect and the only place we stayed in over 6 nights that had a tub...which was much needed after a 14 mile hike to the volcano. It was super clean, the beds were comfortable, check in was easy and the entire hotel was quiet. The ONLY small complaint is that the pillows were very flat. I had to roll up a towel underneath it to get any sort of support.
The location and the view are perfect. The room was clean and well equipped. The bathroom was nice too. We had one of our best sleep here. The breakfast was superb. You got premium Blue Lagoon tickets with a free drink. Try out the Hotel's own Blue lagoon, it is not crowded.
We arrived early due to our flight time but we’re able to use the beautiful lagoon. The hotel was peaceful and we totally relaxed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and The room was exceptional.
Friendly, super helpful staff. Excellent breakfast. The hotel is a short drive to the active volcano and the staff advised us where to park for the best hike to the viewing spot. The hotel is very clean.
I liked the location. Nice little town a little away from the main big city, close to many good hiking spots and near the blue lagoon. It has good restaurants nearby and the staff are very nice.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the accomodation was incredibly comfortable, nicer than in my own apartment. I would without a doubt stay again if I'm ever in Grindavík.
Room was newly renovated and clean with enough space. There was a fridge and hairdryer. The breakfast was simple but for us it was OK. The Hotel is really close to Blue Lagoon resort.
Convenient location from both the airport and blue lagoon. Close proximity to local restaurants and bars. Beautiful view, warm cabin, very comfortable and clean!
