Unfortunately didn't see the lights - I don't think anyone had all week - and whilst hotel fine disappointed with the supposedly amazing breakfast. Waffles only there one day in 3, lot of choice in food had gone an hour into the 3 hour breakfast serving and what was left was not great. One day the hash browns were frozen,... More

Ranga is a very very nice hotel set away from Route 1 but very easy to find and signposted. We were extremely lucky to be given an upgrade to a deluxe room which had a comfy sofa and jacuzzi bath. Ask and you may get! The food served is of a very high quality as suggested by previous reviewers but... More

A peaceful and tranquil hotel but of very high standard. Excellent location for viewing the Northern Lights as no pollution from street lighting but be careful exploring around the hotel after nightfall - it's very dark! Food is excellent and staff attentive and the jacuzzis under the stars are to die for! Look out for the Polar Bear in reception... More

Fabulous hotel. My friends and I have just returned from Iceland and stayed at Ranga for 5 nights. We had booked for 4, but got snowed in and the hotel put us up for a 5th night at a significantly discounted rate. The hotel itself is luxury: clean, comfortable rooms, hearty breakfast (full cooked and continental buffet breakfast, including waffles!!).... More

Spent two nights at this hotel (27-29 January) in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. Seeing Hotel Ranga on Vacation Vacation Vacation on Channel 4 last year gave us the inspiration to visit Iceland. It seems we chose the wrong weekend as the previous week saw a great display as far south as Northern England! We arrived quite late... More

Hotel Ranga's location affords it excellent views of the Aurora Borealis owing to near zero light for miles in every direction. But to see them, they need to be out! We got a partial glimpse one night around 3.00am (you can request a wake up call if there is any activity) Touches like that made this place special. After a... More

we had an excellent four night stay at Hotel Ranga. The rooms are very nice, not huge but totally adequate,with very comfy beds. Large bath with shower above. The river view from our window was perfect. The large lounge area was very comfortable with leather sofas. The breakfast was more than I had expected with loads of choice, cooked and... More

We booked a 4 night special and were looked after in all respects far beyond expectations. We were lucky to see the Northern Lights on 2 evenings despite Iceland having their worst winter in 25 years. A 4x4 is essential in these conditions, although one of our booked adventures was cancelled as the road conditions were too tricky, even for... More

We came with one mission in mind: to see the aurora borealis, so we booked three nights to increase our chances. Not only did we see the lights, we did it with comfort, with wonderful meals, and in a location that allowed us to spend the daylight hours touring southern Iceland where there are glacier walks, pony rides, and so...

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Hotel Ranga. We saw the Northern lights two nights out of 4. When the head waiter heard I was vegetarian the chef offered a different (& delicious) vegetarian dish every night. We were in a superior room - lovely room with modern bathroom, the lounge facilities in the hotel were lovely.... More
