My wife had an award presentation at this hotel after winning a 4 day trip through work. What a fantastic place. We ended up in the hot tub after the presentation with some of my wifes workmates - we were in there from around 11 pm till 5.00 am in the snow, having beers bought out by the A* waiters, watching the northern lights - it seemed like we were out for about 5 minutes only!
The location, food, drink, and staff are all absolutly top notch and we both cant recommend this hotel enough. Cant comment on the value though as was a jolly!!!
Say hello to the polar bear in the lobby.

“Hotel Ranga is a must!”

Hotel Ranga

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

If you're vacationing in Iceland Hotel Ranga is a must. It's in a great location for seeing the sights in southern Iceland or if you're heading into the interior. The hotel owner and concierge was an amazing help in giving us tips on the local attactions and things to do. The first day we were there we did some offroading to a glacier in Porsmork (otherwords known as God's Country).

As you enter the rustic hotel a lifesize polar bear greets you! The room are spacious and well equiped. The hotel staff are so helpful and very friendly. The food is of the typical european menu except with Icelandic specialties like puffin, reindeer or goose.

Next time I visit Iceland I'm definitely staying at Hotel Ranga again!

“Fantastic Hotel”

Hotel Ranga

1/1 found this review helpful

This hotel is fantastic well worth the drive from the airport.
the room was spacious and well equiped. The hotel staff are so helpful and friendly nothing was to much trouble for them. Room service was delicious!
To top it off the hot tub outside our room was such a bonus. To be in the tub at night, -5 and snowing what an experience!!!
Highly recommend this hotel. We have been to Iceland on several occasions and this hotel is certainly top of our list!

“Fab stay at the Ranga”

Hotel Ranga

Jan 26, 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

I stayed here for a night with my boyfriend and we had a FABULOUS time! We took a bus tour to the south of the island and we stayed there on the way back (the driver kindly left us at the door of the hotel!)

The staff were possibly the nicest whilst we stayed in iceland! We got a beautiful room with views of the river (and hot tub!)
Our room was a deluxe room- it was very big with jacuzzi bath!
We had a door which led out to the gardens and hot tub outside.
The hotel was very quiet...only a handful of other guests stayed there.

Dinner is expensive- but that is known in iceland anyways. We both ordered lamb, which was superb! Buffet Breakfast was fantastic- served till 11am...nice bonus!

Because we depended on public transport, we had to get the bus back to the city, which was at 5pm. They allowed us to have late check out (4.30pm) without any extra cost and One of the staff (could have been the manager/owner?) gave us a lift to the town to catch the bus, now thats hospitality!

If anyone decides to stay in the south of the island, this is the place. I highly recommend it!

“cool anniversary”

Hotel Ranga

Jan 19, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I followed Trip Advisor advice and booked this hotel for our anniversary. What a good tip. This hotel was super. We felt like the only guests in the place. The rooms were big, bathrooms huge, and there was a nice view to the river. Even in December, we made use of the hot tub and had a nice drink in the bar. We were really happy with our whole stay.

    • Disliked — a little hard to find - luckily got directions from a tour guide in Selfoss.
