What guests think

Travellers describe Hotel Vos as a clean, quiet, small hotel in a remote setting off Route 1, praised for friendly staff and an excellent breakfast, with many appreciating how easy it is to view the Northern Lights.

The secluded location is peaceful but a drive from the main road and leaves few nearby alternatives. Rooms are generally modern and comfortable, though several reviews note thin walls and some smaller rooms. Some guests found dinner options limited or the restaurant closing early, and the hot tub was occasionally just warm. Expect a calm rural stop with warm service and simple comforts.

Hotel Vos is about 13 minutes away from Route 1 in a small village. We loved how it seemed isolated and was so quiet! The room was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom had the wonderful heated floors we loved in Iceland. The TV has Netflix and we enjoyed using the hot tub as well. Breakfast buffet was great with a good selection. We recommend this place!

We loved staying at Hotel Vos. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Enjoyed the hot tub. They had a fridge near the front desk that you could check out beer and other drinks. The continental breakfast was amazing, so many selections. We would definitely stay here again.

This property had a very small room with paper thin walls. You could hear everything your neighbors were doing. We did not try the hot tub do to the high winds. We were able to see the northern lights just from walking out back from our room. Nothing really around this location at all. Breakfast was good and staff was friendly

Had a single night stop over here and the hotel was conveniently located for the trip. I didn't dine but other guests told me the menu was limited. The walls are quite thin too so noise from other guests is easily heard from room to room. Generally fine for a one night stop and the breakfast was good.

Was pleasantly surprised by how modern this hotel is, though it's literally in the middle of nowhere (which we actually liked). Room was clean, well designed, everything felt new. Nice modern shower, comfortable beds. Breakfast simple but totally adequate. Note: GPS took us to the right from road 25, you actually need to turn left.

Friendly staff, clean but tiny room and bathrooms. Restaurant not open late enough. Maybe having longer summer hours for bar and restaurant would be good idea. Never used the hot tub so can’t comment. Comfy bed, linens and pillows. But Literally in the middle of nowhere. The photos make it look like you are close to the beach but you’re not. Should have just drove further and stayed longer in vik or maybe even hella.

We love this little charm in the middle of nowhere and enjoyed our stay! We initially booked 1 room of triple beds but needed another bed. Upon arrival pretty late in the evening the receptionist was very helpful and gladly to set up an extra bed in the room. I noticed they removed their shoes when entering the room to setup the bed, it shows how much they cared for the facility. It's very quiet and felt like meditative to be there. My daughter used the common area to work on her laptop until 2am and she really enjoyed the quietness and beautiful night. I wish we knew ahead of time that there is a kitchen serving dinner till 10pm. Our stay included breakfast and it was very good with many healthy, delicious items, including home baked bread. The room was very clean, spacious bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful. My kids enjoyed walking around the property and liked the horses they saw. Overall, it felt almost like glamping but in rooms, very relaxing and therapeutic. Will stay again if we ever make it back.
