I really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Hotel Ranga but it didn't quite match my expectations in all areas. The staff were all lovely: friendly and attentive and the public areas within the hotel were all very nice with some great quirky decor. Breakfast was exceptionally good. I am not a big fan of buffet style breakfast but... More

THis may sound odd, because we usually do our research pretty well, but we thought that we were going to end up in a B&B in Hella. As our hire car left the Golden Circle route and arrived at Hella there was no Ranga to be found. It was only after putting the actual GPS co-ordinates from the booking sheet... More

The hotel itself was lovely…we were lucky enough to be given an upgrade to a suite (The African Suite), so our actual room was quite spectacular. The room was huge with impressive decor and a big, comfy bed. The bathroom was wonderful, with a Jacuzzi tub that was better than the outside hot tub. We only had two complaints: Firstly,... More

Hotel Ranga is a beautiful hotel which is in an isolated location however, the hotel has everything you need! The hot tubs were a great welcome after travelling all day and the rooms very spacious with a huge bed and flat screen tv. The meals have also been first class with staff polite and giving great service. The hotel is... More

Decent room, friendly and helpful staff, decent food and a stuffed bear in reception. All in order. But not really quite special enough for the price. Rather desolate location, bit of a corridor feel internally, only 2 hot tubs plonked outside.

In whatever magazine that refers to Iceland there will be some advertisement or comment about "Iceland's only luxury hotel" - Hotel Ranga. This creates a "hype" around the hotel and expectations are high. Some of the rooms are really nice but some are terrible: leaking faucets, terrible decoration and quite frankly way over priced. The location is great and the... More

We stayed one night at the end of a one week stay in Iceland. I'd booked the Royal Suite to surprise my travelling companion and to give us both a treat on our last night in Iceland. On arrival I was advised that the Royal Suite had been double-booked so we'd been effectively "downgraded" to the Africa (theme) Suite. While... More

We stayed a night here on a trip around Iceland. Our room faced the river (important, some rooms face the car park). Good quality beds, big bathroom, lots of space. Hot tubs outside facing the river which were nice. Had an excellent dinner in the restaurant - carpaccio, fish and meat dishes were all excellent quality. The restaurant is big... More

A very nice and cool hotel in the countryside in south Iceland. Didn't spoil we got upgraded to a master suite called Africa that had a 2 person Jacuzzi, a big bed, balcony and separate seating area. The room was also very nicely decorated with art from Africa. A Luxury hotel in almost all ways but lack of hot water... More

We called into this lodge style hotel for lunch during our travels around the South of Iceland. It is well located for the falls in this area, Mt Hekla and the Golden Circle attractions. There is not an abundance of choice of places to eat around and about and this place fitted our needs and provided the diversion and sustenance... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Hotel Ranga is a luxury countryside hotel and the only 4 star resort in South Iceland. It offers all the facilities and services of a modern resort. Located about an hour from Reykjavík between the towns of Hella and Hvolsvöllur, it lies just off the main road right in middle of South Iceland’s panoramic scenery. The resort is built in log-cabin style and has through the years acquired an excellent reputation for its food, accomodation and service. It is the first Icelandic hotel to become a member of the prestigious international hotel chain Great Hotels of the World. A celebrity hot spot, top honeymoon destination and favorite hotel amongst Icelanders, Hotel Rangá also offers great facilities for small business meetings, weddings and social gatherings. One cannot miss feeling welcome entering its warm interior where relaxed countryside feeling meets the professional ambition of pleasing its entire clientel. Upon entering Hotel Ranga, you will be greeted by a towering 10-foot tall polar bear named Hrammur that resides in the lobby. He is a favorite model for photographers and is definitely one of the most pictured objects in Iceland. This is just a prelude to the cozy ambience that you will encounter that vibrates throughout the hotel. Hótel Rangá was upgraded and renovated in 2007/2008 and presently has 51 luxuriously decorated rooms and suites. It also features an acclaimed riverside restaurant, a lounge and bar, 2 upstairs meeting rooms, a game room, massage facilities and three much beloved outdoor hot tubs heated with geothermal water - where there is an excellent chance to view the fantastic northern lights during September through April. ... more   less
