Great place to stay while traveling the southern coast of Iceland. We stopped at Hotel Ranga after we explored the Golden Circle and spent two nights. Rooms were spacious and clean. Hotel staff was friendly and the restaurant was top notch. Oh and the breakfast buffet was excellent. This was a great location for exploring the southern coast of Iceland as it is close to the Westmann Islands very as well as some great natural attractions. Would highly recommend staying here.

I visited Iceland and this was my favorite stay. The hotel Ranga was picturesque, the staff and service wonderful. The attention to detail is unmatched. If I ever visit Iceland again, this is where I will be! FYI I began at Edition in Reykjavík and also stayed at Fossglacier hotel….. this was by far a perfect Icelandic spot!

Hotel Ranga was fabulous! The land surrounding the inn was so picturesque and peaceful. The beds were cozy and rooms were clean. We enjoyed 2 nights there and honestly we weren’t ready to leave. The restaurant was delicious as well. The rooms were a little warm but not too bad. The owner was a lovely gentleman that seemed to truly enjoy making people feel welcomed. If I ever get back to Iceland I would want to come back to Ranga.

Hotel Ranga was one of the top hotels we stayed in on our 8 day self-guided ring road tour of Iceland, all the more special because it was the first. The location is great if you are heading counterclockwise on the ring road after seeing the golden circle sights. The restaurant was excellent. The property is peaceful, sitting on an expanse of tundra along the Ranga river. My only complaint is that the room was too warm, but that turns out not to be a differentiating factor as ALL (but one) of our hotels had this problem. No AC in Iceland and the buildings retain heat.
