As others have mentioned, the layout is unique with several buildings around the center reception and dining room. The place has been built in phases over the past few years, so everything is new and in perfect working order. Some reviewers find fault with the...More

We two couples stayed here one night while traveling southern Iceland. It's located next to a river, nice, but otherwise it is in the middle of no where. Our rooms were in a relatively new building and were comfortable and short walk to the restaurant...More
Stayed for one night whilst touring the southern parts of Iceland.
It's set within the "Golden Circle" Thingvellir national park.
Friendly helpful staff and the evening meal was excellent. Not too badly priced for Iceland either. Worth every penny.
Good comfy bed and lovely room

Hi - you said that your recommended this hotel for families - can you tell me what there is to do aside from watching for the Northern Lights and staying in the hotel? Were there any activities that can be arranged? We are travelling with a 9 and 12 year old for a long weekend trip and so I want to make sure there is something for us to do each day. Many thanks.

Hello,
The hotel is located in the countryside, 10 minutes from Selfoss the closest town. It is on the golden circle route so there are many activities and things to see and do around the area. You can do the golden circle one day or even do part of it in one day and the other half on another day because there are many small stops and interesting things to do.
You can also go to the south coast on one of the days.
There is an outdoor swimming pool in selfoss which is only 10 minutes drive from us, and also other pools in all of the towns around us, as well as natural pools such as: Secret Lagoon and Fontana Spa (in Fontana Spa they also bake rye bread in the ground in the natural hot springs around them and you can join a short tour to see how they bake and taste it)
You can do horse riding on one of the farms in the area, which can be great fun for both children and adults.
Hveragerði is a town about 20 minute drive from here, where there are a lot of hot spring around and inside the town, there are green houses there (Where they even grow bananas!) and also a hot river which you can hike up to and bathe in the natural hot river. It takes about 1 hour to hike up to the river, but the accesibility depends on the weather when you are here. If you are coming now in the winter months it might be more complicated to access the path up the mountain to the river.
Snow mobiling - you can do snow mobiling from Gullfoss waterfall. There can be two persons on each snowmobile so you could take the children with you or you can pay a little extra to have one of the children to go with one of the guides if you prefer.
There are even more things you can do around here so if you have anything specific in mind, please do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail.
Best regard,
MarÃa Brá Finnsdóttir

HI
please could you advise on dress code for dinner? We are going at the beginning of November and we're not sure what we should wear in the evenings. Thank you Linda.

We did not get dressed up. The dining room was filled with people who had been hiking all day. We wore jeans and sweaters to meals.

Is it possible to get to the hotel without a rental car from Reykjavik? By bus or train, perhaps?

The hotel can arrange transport and I believe it is for a very fair price
