Umi hotel is located by one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the country; the hotel is only about 150 km away from Reykjavik and 2 km off the Ring road (Road NR. 1). Our location offers a strong connection to nature that allows our guests to experience the peace and quiet of the Icelandic countryside. The hotel offers a first class restaurant with a unique view of the Westman Islands and the southern coastline, as well as a lounge bar with a view of the famous sub-glacial volcano Eyjafjallajokull and the beautiful mountain terrain surrounding it. Next to our hotel the river Svadbaelisa peacefully flows by. The starlit skies and northern lights certainly won’t let anyone down over the winter months. The hotel is non-smoking and open all year round.

The hotel was comfy and warm. The grounds are beautiful - we were able to walk straight out of the hotel to the beach and back through the snow. No one else was around, and the beach was black sand. The restaurant was great also.

we were 3 couples ( good friends) enjoying a good weekend and very nice stay at UMI hotel, the hotel was excellent, and the service too. The 3 course dinner was very good, and the bar was very nice, we took a good walk down to the beach when we arrived, and then there was happy hour, which we took good use of, We had a good nights sleep in good beds, and the breakfast was good. Thanks for a good stay, UMI hotel and staff.

What a fantastic hotel. The staff was exceptional, so friendly and helpful to a person. Rooms were nice with great showers. Very unique setting with dramatic vistas and a nearby beach that was beautiful. Convenient between Reykjavík and Vik.

We stayed one night at Umi hotel. It is beautiful as well as the surrounding. The room was spacious, the food was tasty and the decor very nice. We rented a Fatbike and took a ride down to the black beach with the hotel dog. The only thing I regret is to not stay for more nights. Highly recommend.

A friend referred this hotel to me but I really didn't expect it to be so wonderful! The location is great for the getting to the waterfalls and to VIk, and the service was amazing. Hannah (not spelled right since it is a Polish name) was so awesome to myself and my 2 kids- she made our stay so nice. And our dinner was really good- I had cod, my son ate the vegan options and my dauhter had lamb. We were sad to check out and would stay longer next trip.

We stayed at Umi Hotel as a jumping off point for the South of Iceland and it was great! The staff is very helpful and accommodating. The rooms are very nice, the beds were a bit firm for my taste, but to each their own. And the supervisor dog Brekki is so cute! Highly recommend.

Very good service and great food/dinner and breakfast. Beautiful reception and a bar, but the rooms rather simple and beds a bit uncomfortable. Beautiful area and a lot of things to see and experience, waterfalls and black beaches.
