Hotel 1001 Nott — Hotel in Iceland

We had a great stay at this hotel after a long drive from Vík. The property is beautiful and has about 25 rooms. Not a bad view from any room with the large windows that let in plenty of natural light, with blackout shades to block out the summer sun.

The woman at the front desk was incredibly friendly and went out of her way to accommodate a request they don’t usually allow, which I deeply appreciated.

I didn’t get a chance to use the hot tubs, but they seemed popular with other guests. The attached restaurant serves excellent food, it’s expensive, but worth it for a nice dinner. Just make sure to book a reservation in advance.

Breakfast was fantastic, with plenty of options and a great way to start the day. If you need groceries, there’s a store about five minutes away by car, but note that it closes very early.

My only complaint is that there wasn’t an in-room coffee maker or cups, which felt like a miss for such a nice hotel.

A few tips for future travelers: • The shower has no door, so adjust the showerhead before turning it on, or you’ll end up with water all over the bathroom floor. • There is no TV in the room, which I personally enjoyed because it made for a quiet and peaceful stay. Bring a book if you like evening entertainment.

Overall, this is a comfortable and welcoming hotel, perfect for resting after long days of driving and exploring. I would definitely...

While the rooms at Hotel 1001 Nott are clean and the property is new, our experience was ruined by the shockingly poor hospitality. Over a week of traveling across Iceland, every other hotel made an effort to accommodate our vegetarian dietary needs — this one stood out for all the wrong reasons.||When we asked for vegetarian options for our group of 8, we were flatly told to order what was on the menu — which had only one beetroot burger. When we requested more or asked if we could heat food we’d brought, we were bluntly told “No” and even advised to eat at another hotel. Christine, in particular, was rude, dismissive, and completely lacking in basic hospitality. It felt like she had no understanding of the service industry. In contrast, Anita was polite and tried to help, but there was only so much she could do.||To make matters worse, they tried to force an 11 am checkout despite our booking showing noon. Only after showing proof did they reluctantly allow 11:30 — again, without a hint of courtesy.||Comfortable rooms alone aren’t enough. If you expect basic respect or hospitality,...
