Room was clean. Ate breakfast in town and dinner. Across the street from hotel is food hall with excellent lunch options. Walkable to breakfast spots and dinner. Beautiful town. Close to Lava Tunnel and great stopping point on ring road. Only two hours to Vik

Nice stay. The houses are very remote and dining options are about a 20-30 minute drive. The rooms were clean, our shower was clogged though. It’s a great place to view the northern lights since it is so remote. Great stay and seamless/easy check in.

The information center in the town hall was excellent. The worker there arranged for the Bobby Fischer Center to be opened for us and we had a wonderful experience there as well going south to the coast for beach hiking.

Growing, a lot of construction. Very good dinner at Cafe Kruz. New Almar Bakery very popular; good coffee and baked good for breakfast to go We went to Geysir and Gullfoss on way here from Vik; both destinations very worthwhile.

Selfoss is a great stop along the way. We liked that the town has convenient stores and restaurants: Jysk, Pizza Hut, Quiznos, etc. It feels like a little civilization along the beautiful Route 1!
