The surrounding landscape is beautiful. The hotel is very quaint and clean. The beds were hard as a rock so nobody slept well. The restaurant was nice, the food and service is good. It was very expensive. I was surprised that guests had to pay to use the spa after such an exorbitant room rate.
My son was married in Iceland and we all stayed at the Skalakot Manor. I have never seen a more beautiful hotel. The rooms were roomy and comfortable. The view from my balcony was amazing. And the staff was beyond helpful. Especially Alina! Wonderful experience!!
Charming inn with wonderful food and great service in a beautiful setting against the mountains. We had a large room on the second floor with a sitting area. It was very comfortable. The breakfast and dinners are served in the main areas downstairs and the food was terrific. Beautiful breakfast spread, plus eggs and other hot food made to order. Dinners were delicious as well and it was a lovely setting looking out over the fields and the Icelandic horses. Highly recommend!
My husband and I recently had the opportunity to spend a night at the lovely Skalakot Manor Hotel. We went there as part of a bespoke tour with Iceland Luxury Tours. They booked us in this hotel, probably because we wanted to meet some Icelandic horses, which we had the chance to do at this hotel.
We stayed in a very charming Grand Double room with a balcony. I wish we'd had better weather, so we could have enjoyed the views of grazing mares and foals in the pasture in front of us. We had everything we needed in our room, which was nicely decorated and comfortable.
As we only stayed one night, we didn't get a chance to try out the spa, but we did have dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. The food was excellent and served with style. I especially remember enjoying the coffee at breakfast.
But the highlight of our stay was, of course, the horses, who were very sweet and beautiful. It was such a treat to get to watch them and offer a few pets. It made me miss having a horse of my own. I wish we could have stayed longer. Maybe we'll have another chance to visit, and we'll bring the sun with us.
BEST RESTAURANT THIS TRIP!! We had an amazing meal at the restaurant. The service could be better than incredible in so many different ways. Great fish meat and appetizers. we actually got here twice in the rain and they lent us a hairdryer to get dry before dinner. Great service. The food was excellent, and the trout was beyond belief
