Midgard was the best! The staff were super friendly and so incredibly helpful. Our private room was so quiet snd comfortable after our long trip. But most of all the view of the horses grazing out our window was amazing.

This was a great value and a great place to start our Iceland adventure. The friendly staff greeted us with lots of information and a smile. We arrived early (late morning) after a red eye flight and the staff helped us find a place to eat and worked on getting us into our room as soon as possible. Room was basic but clean and in great condition. We had private bath and everything worked well. The area in front of hotel is a little industrial but there is an adorable horse farm behind the property and this is what you see from the room and from the hotel restaurant and terrace. The on site restaurant and bar had great food and service and made our first day very easy. They also have a nice breakfast buffet in the morning for a charge. If you have time to shop, there is a grocery store walking distance and communal kitchen facilities (at least for storage of food). Not sure about cooking. We had a car and did our own thing but it also appeared possible to book tours and activities through the hotel.

옥상에 hot tub 아주 좋습니다. 식당도 무지 비싸긴 하지만 맛은 괜찮습니다. 바로 근처에 마트랑 주유소같은 곳이 있어 위치도 좋습니다. 다만 방이 너무 작고 통풍도 잘 안되서 많이 답답하다고 느꼈습니다. 가성비가 좋다고는 말할수 없네요. 별 3개 하려다 hot tub 이 좋아서 4개 드립니다

Great little

Great place to stay if you want to have a base near the south coast to go exploring. This is particularly good for those on a budget as the place has a guest kitchen which meant we didn’t have to spend loads of eating out. The whole place has a very chilled out vibe. Nice lounge and bar area.

We truly had a wonderful stay at Midgard basecamp! The staff were fantastic, the room was comfortable, the amenities were amazing(special shoutout to the shoe drying station) and the restaurant was delicious. We will gladly return next time we are in the area. Ps: we also booked a guided tour with them and it was a truly fantastic experience and a highlight of our trip, we can't recommend it enough!
