Umi Hotel Reviews

Spectacular hotel, with beautiful views of the mountains, great room, great breakfast, we had dinner at the hotel, and it was the best meal I had in Iceland, I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our time here. We did find vegan options at the restaurant and breakfast. The staff alerted us that the northern lights were visible. It was breathtaking. We couldn’t believe how strong the aurora we saw was. Some of the other guests really played a role in our stay not being as pleasant as we had hoped. The rooms have no sound proofing. You can hear everything in the hallway. So many people were up early, shouting, children yelling + running. I am usually a heavy sleeper that can sleep through nonstop music and construction but this was something else. We would not stay here again due to the noise.

Umi is a beautifully designed hotel near Vik. It is luxury remote destination for the golden circles

UMI hotel was by far the most magical stay during our trip. Sometimes pictures of a hotel don’t align in real-life, in this case the UMI hotel was actually better than pictured. The location is perfect for those seeing the south of Iceland. The hotel itself if only a 15 min walk to a quiet beach, and the neighbors horses are frequent visitors, which was a bonus for me. The hotel does wake up calls for the northern lights, and we got to experience them both nights of our stay (very end of October). Their dinner menu is is broad enough to keep you interested for multiple nights, they have a great breakfast spread which is included, and I love their little bar/lounge for an after dinner drink. The rooms are modern and clean and beds and pillows are very comfortable. And on top go all that a great staff. Overall wonderful experience and would stay there again in a heartbeat.

We went to the UMI for a few nights to celebrate my 60th birthday. Staff was lovely and so nice upon our arrival. Our room was so clean and so pretty and overlooked the grass fields and could see the waves crashing onto the beach about 20 minutes away. We immediately (upon Jason's recommendation!) took a walk out to the beach. He said to wear appropriate shoes as it was very marshy. We had hiking poles and walked out there in about 20 minutes - never had an issue. We were the only people on the beach and it was amazing. So beautiful and peaceful.. Great place! Breakfast was very nice, happy hour was lovely, and my birthday dinner at their wonderful restaurant was both delicious and fun! They sang happy birthday! I highly recommend this hotel - we will DEFINITELY go there again on our next Iceland trip!

Nice property off the beaten track. Rooms were clean and setting was good. We even had wild horses roaming outside the restaurant during breakfast, which was a nice surprise!

Everything was great. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The dinner & breakfast were delicious.

Great hotel. Our first stop in Iceland and they made us feel very welcome. We had the beef in the restaurant and it was divine. Lovely stay overall and just round the corner from a beautiful waterfall that you can walk behind! Also a short walk from the black beaches. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We loved our stay at Umi. It was clean, the staff were always helpful and friendly, and the area the hotel is in is absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend staying here.

Awesome hotel. Very modern. It was very away from everything and very quiet. Laso wasn't too far away from the main attractions in the area.

There were pros and cons to our stay. I will still give 10/10 because the dinner we had was amazing, the property and walk to the beach was stunning, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the rooms were smaller than the other stays in Iceland. It also got very hot at night and the window would only open an inch or so. No black out curtains but this wasn't a problem for us during our September stay. The bathroom sink would spill over if turned on full blast. These things were annoying and might deter some but we would probably stay again and recommend to family and friends!

Our experience at Umi was great, such a relaxing place to stay. We loved the style and would highly recommend!

A lovely property. The breakfast was good; the room was well appointed and our room was quiet.

Best breakfast of our whole trip! Lovely place - hope to be back. A hot tub/hot spring would be fabulous especially with that view!
