I stayed at Umi following a business trip, as I began a 4 day solo adventure. Pros: excellent location, beautiful view, quiet surroundings, beautiful walk down to the black sand beach (though be weary - it is not so much a beach as a stream, but still beautiful), polite staff. Cons: The noise in the hallway bordered on unbearable - people talking even in the most respectable way, carried and echoed all the way down the hall, and the doors did not close well so there was a lot of slamming. There is *technically* room service available, but there are NO PHONES in the room, so if you want any, you have to walk down to reception (which is literally beside the restaurant) and order it, which really defeats the purpose of room service (though to be fair the food was delicious), the hotel itself was more run down that the online photos suggest. All in all, the location really made this stay for me, and the limited occupancy made parking and such always very easy. However, the hotel itself, and what it offered, was generally underwhelming. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't as unique an experience as I was hoping for.

Great spot, top notch. Views were amazing and walk to the black sand beach area easy and straight forward. There was a list to be awakened if Northern Lights showed (which they did) and really appreciated that option.

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff were always attentive and friendly while still being down to earth. Both breakfast and dinner were just lovely, with locally sourced ingredients and creative cocktails. The sauna and yoga room proved necessary at the end of each day of hiking and exploring the area - it’s so close to Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, Solheimajökull, Reynisfjara, and Vik. This is a beautiful property, with awe-inspiring scenery from every angle, so bring your camera. The walk to the beach takes a bit longer than they say, but it’s worth it. We got lucky early on our first evening with a short but unexpected burst of aurora activity - just standing outside looking at the stars in the right place at the right time! - but they do have a wake-up service for anyone wishing to see the northern lights when they start up. My only (minor) demerit was for the bed comfort, but it’s certainly not the worst I’ve had in Iceland or anywhere else in Europe, so it’s barely worth mentioning. I will definitely return to UMI! <3

This place is amazing! Food and staff are excellent. The only downside is the gravel road to the property. Small cars need to extra care and go slowly

A gorgeous property. The black sand beach was incredible. The restaurant was first class. The breakfast was plentiful. I prefer showers with lips so that the water doesn’t flood. Very enjoyable, albeit pricey.
