Hotel Budir

Expensive and they charge a lot for breakfast. Unfortunate as there is no other option. But, the hotel is great and the food (esp dinner) was excellent. 2nd time staying here.

Hotel Budir looked like the perfect spot to spend the last two days of our Iceland vacation. The lobby and lounge areas are very attractive, and the dining was very good. Our room, though, was a true disappoin**ent, and the price we paid was absurd for such poor lodgings. Every light fixture in the room had some kind of problem - one had exposed wires, one had a discolored lampshade, and one had a pull chain that was previously repaired but still didn't work. The bathroom door was made of cheap particle board, was missing a handle, and had a huge chunk torn off at the bottom. The bathtub was designed in such a way that you only had about 1.5 square feet to stand in - the smallest of any hotel I stayed at in Iceland. The sink was similarly tiny, and you had to stand sideways between the sink and the toilet to be able wash your face or brush your teeth without hitting your head on the glass shelf placed immediately above it. The worst part was the window, which leaked very badly. There were strong winds when we stayed there, and we could hear/feel the wind whistling into the room. Our heater was broken and only put out a tiny amount of heat, so the room was extremely cold for both nights. Additionally, you had to cross a rooftop area in gale force winds and snow to access rooms 301-305. Did it ruin our trip? No. But it was more akin to a cheap roadside motel than a $250/night room. It was both the most expensive and worst room we had on our 16-day vacation. Very disappointed.

There were so many special details within the property. beautiful bar area with gorgeous views. The room was clean. We could not open the window so the room was hot. We were supposed to have a partial ocean view but we had a view of the scaffolding from construction. Staff was very friendly. Food was delicious.

This was a very quaint hotel with good food and friendly staff. The areas around the hotel were fun to explore.

The property is stunning and cozy. The perfect place to stay while touring Iceland. The restaurant was awesome too! We did the 5 course tasting menu and wine pairing and it was great! Every dish was well considered and delicious.

Nice place. Cool location.

Amazing hotel. Had a nice dinner in the restaurant and good cocktails in the lounge. Nice breakfast buffet too.

Wonderful experience overall. Gorgeous property and the staff were SO kind and helpful. We had an excellent dinner at the hotel restaurant and ate breakfast at the hotel both mornings. Great buffet selection and views from the dining area. Loved our stay and would definitely come back.
