Description
Hotel Klaustur is a modern, comfortable hotel located on Iceland’s South Coast. Those exploring this region in depth will find no better place to stay.
Location & Nearby
Hotel Klaustur is located in the Kirkjubæjarklaustur area of South Iceland. Skaftafell is about 69 km away by road and Vík / Reynisfjara about 73 km. Located in the heart of Kirkjubaejarklaustur, Hotel Klaustur could not be better positioned for South Coast or Ring Road travelers.
If traveling from Reykjavik, it is possible to spend a full day marveling over sites such as Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls, Eyjafjallajokull volcano, Solheimajokull glacier, Reynisfjara beach, and the Dyrholaey rock arch before arriving at your hotel for a good night’s rest. The next day, you will be able to visit the magnificent nature reserve of Skaftafell and the world-famous glacier lagoon of Jokulsarlon, before either continuing to South Iceland or returning to the hotel.
Spending at least two days exploring the South Coast in its entirety is highly recommended due to its length and number of attractions; for perspective, the nearest major sites, Reynisfjara and Skaftafell, are about an hour’s drive west and east respectively.
Though small, Kirkjubaejarklaustur has basic amenities for travelers such as restaurants, shops, and gas stations. It also has some beautiful hiking trails to enjoy, such as those leading to the Systrastapi rock monolith and Systrafoss waterfall.
