Located within 3 km of Kirkjugólf and Systrafoss twin waterfalls, Magma Hotel offers accommodation in Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Rooms are modern with Nordic design and free WiFi. Views of the lava-fields, black sand river and even Vatnajäkull Glacier can be enjoyed from the hotel. Room was nice. Check in is located in the Restaurant on the property, so it took us a few to find check in. Room was comfy. Breakfast served was good and had your American and EUR favorites: scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, pancakes, cookies, sandwich meat, beans(?), yogurt, coffee and juice. Cannot say anything about the view, since we arrived in the dark and left in the dark.

This eco-friendly hotel, 30 minutes’ drive from Reykjavik, is surrounded by nature in the town of Ölfus. It offers free use of an outdoor wooden hot tub and arranges Icelandic horse riding tours on site. Booked the hotel almost by accident but it was a great experience. Good room, good menu, bar and all the staff were great. Don't be put off thinking it's only an equestrian hotel, it's top notch at everything but with the added bonus of a genuine Icelandic pony stable as well
