Hotel South Coast

This hotel is great. It is new, clean, modern and the rooms are well equipped and designed with everything you need. The showers are fantastic, there are USB ports by the bed, the TV is large with lots of channels, the room was always cleaned and was well maintained and it has a nice atmosphere. The breakfast is pretty good too! The best thing about this hotel though is the location! We were a little surprised when we found out that it didn’t have its own restaurant but… it doesn’t need it! the location of Selfoss is great and there are so many lovely places to eat nearby at great prices. we highly recommend the Old Dairy Farm as we ate here every night of our trip because of its easy-going, street food style restaurants where there is loads to choose from. Also it’s a fabulous place to start a Golden Circle trip adventure. This really was our best stay in Iceland and would love to come back!

The breakfast on the final day of our stay was disappointing because (we think) of a large group that came in on the night before. The staff in the restaurant weren’t exactly eager or proactive enough to have more food prepared to come out for the rest of us guests. Although, we did see a huge delivery come in as we were checking out so maybe we were just unlucky? Also the gym and spa was closed.

The breakfast was OK. It had enough diversity and it was all delicious. The room was very comfortable and the bed was wide and cozy. Selfoss is located about an hour from every important tourist sight in southern Iceland, so it was pretty good to not have to travel a lot every day. One thing I really likes is the 5 charging stations for EVs, free for use by the hotel guests. We took a PHEV car rental and it saved us a lot of time and money. Another pretty awesome thing was the daily refill of coffee and tea in the room. Did not use the coffee, but the team was awesome and allowed us to prepare some every morning for our thermos before leaving to roam Iceland :)

Everything was great!

We loved the breakfast that was great, location was great. The room was perfect.

We didn’t care for the bed. It was too hard/firm for us

Small & cozy. Walking distance to most amenities. The breakfast was fantastic. Beds were comfy and the staff were all friendly and helpful! Highly recommend.

There wasn’t much to dislike BUT if I had to be picky I’d say have a microwave available for guests to use if they need. Seating outside for smokers would be nice and there were a lot of cigarette butts placed in flower pots which doesn’t look nice. One perk to stay might be 1 free service at the spa…. I would have really enjoyed that!

The location was perfect for exploring the area and for walking out to get dinner in the evening. The staff (reception, breakfast, and cleaning personnel were) friendly and helpful. They gave thoughtful advice. On our last evening the receptionist made sure we knew about the ‘end of Christmas’ Santa Claus procession, which was a great way to end our visit. The breakfast was very nice with many options. We met in the breakfast area in the evening to play games as a family, and in addition to free coffee, cocoa and tea there, we could buy drinks and crisps from reception. Three of us booked time at the spa and it was very relaxing. Our decision to stay at this hotel was very last minute because road conditions made our original cabin difficult to access. We were all very pleased with the hotel!

No complaints.

The lpcation of the hotel is very convenient. The staff was super helpfull and they arranged a place for us to have out dinner which we had bought from outside. The rooms were decent enough, very clean and with good beds for a good nights sleep. The breakfast was decent as well.

The rooms were too hot and having the windows open did not help as it was a tiny window. We had an uncomfortable nights sleep as a result. The hotel should have provisions for tripe or connecting rooms for families of 3/4. Including cut fruits in the breakfast may be a good idea. The fruit selection was sparse.

We arrived quite late, so didn't have time to explore all the hotel facilities, but we had a warm welcome at reception and as there is no restaurant, we were directed to a great food hall 5 minutes walk away. In general the hotel is modern, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good with warm food options. Easy free parking on the street outside.

Always good to have a restaurant available in the hotel, but not a big deal in this place with food nearby.

room, staff, wifi, clean

to close room's door when exiting, you need to hold the key to unlock the door then close it, then the door will securely lock . it's very weird and time consuming system and they don't tell you about it at reciption. you can hear people kicking the door thinking it's broken. not normal! :D noise is 50/50 depends on who's neighbouring you on the same floor and above you as well. but people eventually go to sleep

The place was nice (it's only 3 years old). Everything is clean and its walking distance to a food court. The rooms are perfect for 2 people. We felt safe in the area. The showers are amazing with great water pressure!

The rooms were hot and you can only open the one small window which doesn't open very much. We asked if they had fans and they didn't. Sadly, the spa was closed for repair so we were not able to enjoy that amenity. The reception people were not so welcoming and seemed a but annoyed that we asked so many questions as we were not familiar with the area. At one point the lady reception person was outside smoking and she saw us but let us stand there until she was done with her smoke. Then at breakfast, all the staff sat down and ate together so there was no one at the reception desk to check us out on some items we bought from their little area. We asked some questions like where the good shopping places were and she basically just said "go walk that way".

lovely comfortable room and bed. Big bathroom, nice spacious walk in shower. Breakfast was really nice, buffet style with cooked options (lovely crispy bacon) sausages, eggs, beans etc and the usual yoghurts, muesli, toast and continental etc. The location was very central, close to the Old Dairy food hall with plenty of dining options.

There wasn’t a way to control the temp in the room but I think this is with many hotels in Iceland. Slept with the window open and it was fine.
