Great Base - Beautiful Area
Pros:

Two nights stay & used as a base as part of our 5 night fly/drive holiday. Very small community & no food options close by, so used restaurant both nights. Limited menu, & expensive, as with Iceland generally, but quality was excellent. Very good buffet breakfast, also. Room was very clean & comfortable. Ideal location to travel out to a number of local, natural sites, including hot-springs & the impressive waterfalls at Hraunfossar & Barnafoss geysers at Hverageroi, a hidden gem, & the famous Haukadalur Geothermal Parks.

nice hotel, very friendly and attentive staff.
Pros:

rooms are ok. a little small for two people with medium size luggage. very tight to open 2 suitcases and move around the room comfortably. we had an issue with the cleaning of the rooms, since you have to specifically ask for your rooms to be cleaned during the day, otherwise they won’t clean or make the bed. we asked and when we came back at the end of the day, they were just how we left them. other than that, the restaurant is good and the staff is very nice, helpful and attentive.

Warm Welcoming Hotel
Pros:

Comfy rooms and very clean, not much storage space but can’t take stars off for that as probably’ guests don’t stay for 3 nights. Food superb, great quality and good wines. Service was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend/stay here again. Felt very welcoming and cosy when you come in. Spa facilities nice with 2 outdoor hot tubs. Bonus was catching northern lights each night.

Pros:

1. Make sure to walk about the historic sights. So interesting! Lovely little village.
2. The wait staff at the restaurant was so nice!
3. The food at the restaurants wasn’t great — way too salty and seasoned and the vegan option had no protein.

Easy location — 2 hours from the airport and the drive was scenic.

Pros:

Good and quiet. Room is not quite ready as the shampoo & shower gel had ran out and was not replaced.

Otherwise, good Fosshotel level of service and rooms.

Happy hour from 4-6pm, 900ISK for Gull draft beers.

Wine pairing- mega pint of wine served. Haha

Great chain
Pros:

Very nice hotel. Love this chain. Staff was friendly, everything was clean, and food was great. It was a busy night when we stayed so the restaurant was booked until 2100, but it was still good even though we had to eat late. The lady at the desk made some recommendations at other nearby restaurants. Unlike the Fosshotel glacier lagoon, this location did not offer call service for aurora sightings.

Pros:

Hotel was modern & good. But they could be a bit flexible in allowing guests to access to a microwave- people come from all over the world & may have dietary restrictions (no option for dining other than their own restaurant)
The receptionist told us we will have to pay for the spa even though we had free spa access- having booked thru’ Expedia. We did not go to the spa so don’t know about it

So glad we chose to stay here on arrival day.
Pros:

We stayed here our night of arrival to Iceland and so glad we did. It was peaceful and welcoming. We did not expect being surrounded by a historical site that we could walk to during our stay. We adored it! We we close to falls and the glacier so we were able to get to authentic and spectacular experiences quickly the next day. Highly recommend.
