Had a very relaxing stay watching the Northern Lights from the comfort of our bed. Everything is 1st class here. Very responsive to calls - explained how everything worked. All managed remotely so anything can be resolved quickly. Highly recommend. Conveniently located to sightseeing. Bring whatever food or drink as it is a distance to go out after arriving. Air fryer tea kettle and burner. If doing laundry bring soap.

Hotel Geysir

Bláskógabyggd

10/10 Excellent

Great location, right across from the Geysirs and 10 minutes to Gullfoss waterfall. The room was spacious. Hotel common area was lovely and quiet. The only negative was the room was warm (no AC and no fan); the only solution is to turn the heat off and open the door (but there are quite a bit of insects in the area). At the hotel restaurant we ordered the chicken wings (very good), lamb chops (good), hamburger (odd).

Ironically the absolute best place we stayed in all of Iceland. Amenities like a kitchen and hot tub and just the amazing view made this extremely worthwhile. Very clean and well maintained. Staff was very friendly and responsive to my questions. Even providing suggestions. Location was perfect for the Golden Circle. So dark at night we saw the Northern lights in late August. We loved this cabin. Would definitely come again.

We also hired a sitter through them for an adult visit to the Blue Lagoon. The sitter showed up 30 minutes early to meet our son and review things. She was...

My wife and I just finished up a November vacation in Iceland. We plan to do another vacation to Iceland again in summertime so we can drive the Ring Road route. When we come back, we're already looking forward to staying at this hotel again -- the staff mostly consists of the owners, and they take pride in seeing that their services and quality are of a high standard, while yet at very reasonable prices. Everyone is most attentive, the rooms are very clean and have a quirky decorative charm,...
