We used it as an airport hotel. Close to it, but nothing really else to explore. Good dinner, breakfast average.

Great location 10 minutes from the Blue lagoon. We stayed here on our first night in Iceland going straight from the airport to the Blue lagoon then checked in.
Not a lot here but there’s a pretty church here
Tip: don’t buy supplies in the airport shop - we stocked up & it cost us a fortune. There’s a Netto in Grindavík

Grindavik is a small, beautiful fishing village close to the Geldingadalur volcano (but not too close) and the Blue Lagoon. It has many excellent hiking opportunities and great restaurants. Grindavik is surrounded by a beautiful natural landscape. Whale-watching, fishing, mountaineering, very friendly people, safe environment, you name it, Grindavik has it all!

Great location for Meradalir.
Great location for Meradalir. Fabulous fish and chips at Papas - Grindavik is a fishing town, so all fish is fresh that morning. Lovely walking around the town. Very peaceful. Great for exploring south coast and peninsula. Only 25 mins from Keflavik.

We stopped for one night during our Iceland tour to visit the Blue Lagoon and Fagradalsfjall, the volcano that erupted in 2021 and is still smoldering several months later. Grindavik is a working fishing village with a few local restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy, so is a really good spot to stay for a day when touring Iceland. It is not touristy though so don’t expect lots of shops selling the usual.

Grindavik is a lovely town with a huge fisherman history.
Grindavik is a lovely town with a huge fisherman history. It's super close to the Blue lagoon and volcano so, there are many options for hiking or relaxing. There's a grill place with a super nice man who told me a little about the history and life of Grindavik's people and he also sells awesome hotdogs. Wish I could've stayed longer but a huge storm came so I had to run away :)
The cottages were just as described. A neat package. Good views over the harbour. Nice easy drive from the airport and on the doorstep of Blue Lagoon so we stayed two nights so we could have a leisurely few hours at the lagoon. Interesting walk around the coast to the lighthouse too.
And Papa's nearby does the best fish and chips we have EVER tasted - seriously tender and obviously fresh out of the water - Grindavik is a fishing hub.
Oh and my daughter saw the northern lights here briefly - only time on our 10 day visit!
We had previously stayed in Hella experiencing what Iceland has to offer and it was amazing. As it was a belated honeymoon we thought we'd stay a couple days at the retreat to experience what it had to offer. Unfortunately the only thing we liked was the staff, room & cleanliness. The hotel was decorated well and looked nice. The private spa lagoon was a nice intimate touch for relaxing away from the blue lagoon crowd. The breakfast was nice and was hosted in the main lobby. You also get an additional Afternoon tea experience.
Loved staying here! Cozy place with a great view, the kitchen is well equipped and the couch is super comfortable. They provide a bunch of helpful information (about restaurants, activities, things to see in the area etc.) at the Cabin as well as before arrival via Mail. Check-in via Keybox is very easy & uncomplicated.
The area around Grindavík ist absolutely beautiful and there is a lot to explore. Location is also conveniently close to the airport which we appreciated especially because of our early morning flight.
The accommodations were excellent. The living space at the guesthouse was not only clean and well-organized, but there were also snacks, coffee, teas, supplies, etc,. Dagmar was very quick to respond if I had any questions or issues. My SMS was not working in Iceland so I couldn't make phone calls to get a taxi, and Dagmar was very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend the Grindavik Guesthouse, and would definitely stay there again.
Aside from the proximity to the Blue Lagoon, my favorite surprise was how warm and welcoming the owners are. They went above and beyond with their sincere hospitality and even helped me set up a private taxi tour in the morning before I flew home. The breakfast has a good variety: hard boiled eggs, various cereals, yogurt, granola, bread, cheese, some fruit and plenty of coffee. This is a great find!
Excellent base to visit the Fagradalsfjall active volcano (and Krysuvik) from, not only because it is close but also because the fumes are usually blown away from Grindavik. Spacious, new and well-equipped studio, with lots of storage space and very efficient self-checkin. In walking distance of several restaurants and a big supermarket. Close to the airport too. Very nice and helpful staff.
Bear in mind that there is no reason to stay in Grindavik unless you want a fast track to both Blue Lagoon and the airport, as there is absolutely nothing to do there, so you'll probably want to find some place in Reykjavik instead, which is gonna be dead cheaper. That being said, the accomodation was clean and well-equipped, so I guess there isn't much to complain about.
We have a neutral rating due to not being able to stay here. There was an evacuation for grindavik which ultimately meant we had no accommodation. Both myself and booking.com have tried contacting the property for a refund however we are yet to get any response, it is understandable for the circumstances but would still appreciate being contacted back when possible
The hotel was amazing.
There’s lots of cozy public space to stay with family.
Our kids could enjoy card game and chess there.
And the restaurant served really delicious dinner and reasonable price.
We loved even its starters breads which was soft and sweet.
We found it’s much better to have dinner here than having at blue lagoon.
Enjoyed being able to work in the space set up like a family room.....coffee or hot chocolate available and warm fireplace with beautiful views out the windows. I also appreciated the cell phone charger in the wall, not all hotels have this and it is a very useful feature for travelers!
The space was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The staff communicated well and we didn't encounter any problems. It is also conveniently close to the Blue Lagoon and the airport, as well as the volcano that erupted in 2021, for those who are interested in that. And the price was great.
Breakfast was good though we later realized similar to every other Icelandic hotel that offers breakfast. Aziz who manned the front desk was very friendly and informative regarding the volcano activity. Thanks to him we were able to see it erupting when we hiked over.
great hosts-very responsive. fixed internet right away. has everything you need including washer dryer. close to airport and blue lagoon. owners have a wood working shop and studio on first floor-take a look. groceries across street.
Great breakfast, nice and clean rooms, the hostess Björk explained us everything about surroundings of Grindavik, how to get to the volcano, what to see and where to eat. Great value for money. I highly recommend.
We arrived early due to our flight time but we’re able to use the beautiful lagoon. The hotel was peaceful and we totally relaxed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and The room was exceptional.
The Retreat Hotel and Spa is indescribably luxurious, pampering, relaxing, restoring, and perfect! The staff, facilities, restaurants and the incomparable spa experience is all without compare!
