Le hace falta una renovación y la piscina natural de agua caliente que anuncian yo solo vi un jacuzzi de plastico i sin estar preparado. Llegamos y havia una nota con mi nombre y la llabe en recepción y no havia nadie. Para mi no és problema, asi te da confianza, y el trato amable, pero el desayuno muy justito.

Great stop for those heading to Landmannalaugar

We stayed here for 1 night because the shuttle pickup for Landmannalaugar was right there. The room was nice and clean. The hot tub right outside the building was an unexpected bonus. The included breakfast was good. That was really helpful because there's not much around that area. There is a restaurant on site and they serve great food.

I was expecting a location closer to the mountain with more activities available in the immediate vicinity. That probably could not be helped due to the fact that Hekla is an active volcano, but we did not have much we could do without some driving.

Bonne base pour aller au Landmannalaugar

Première nuit passée dans une chambre propre mais petite, en sous-sol, avec sanitaires communs, style auberge de jeunesse, puis proposition de nous surclasser gratuitement suite à un désistement dans une chambre avec SDB privée dans le bâtiment principal (plus récent, mais style préfabriqué) ce qui à nettement amélioré le rapport qualité/prix ! Superbe piscine d'eau chaude naturelle et plusieurs hot tubs. Bon petit déjeuner et accueil sympathique. Bon restaurant à côté (mais assez cher). Bonne base de départ pour aller passer une journée au Landmannalaugar, soit en bus qui s'arrête devant l'hôtel, soit avec son propre véhicule 4X4 (environ 2h de route, c'est mieux de prendre la F208 où il n'y a pas de gué à passer, la F225 était de toute manière fermée). Bien placé également pour aller au volcan Hekla.

Not as expected - think carefully before booking!

Think carefully before booking your stay here: Whilst on a map this hotel looks well located if you are travelling between the 3 main tourist attractions of Iceland and the South; it is actually quite awkward to get to, having to double-back on yourself for around 60km distance. It took 1.5hours to get there from Gulfoss. Despite the appearances of the double rooms on their website, what we actually got given was a twin room in a basement by the sauna and the shared bathroom facilities, although clean, were reminiscent of those of a public British swimming pool. Only one of the hot tubs was clean for use, although it was a nice facility to have access to. The room itself was very basic and cramped, just the 2 beds, an old chair, a tiny bedside table and a small shelf with a few hangers. Overall a disappointing experience despite the appearances advertised on their website - I'm glad we only stayed there for one night.

Basic needs away from the ring road

Be aware that this hotel is not near the ring road, but a good 15-20 minutes up a road in the midst of farms. For basic accommodations, this was fine. It wasn't noisy and we had hot water. The interpretive center seemed closed. We did not partake of the hot springs tubs but they were clean.

ランドマンナロイガルに行きたくてここに泊まりましたが6月初旬ではまだ積雪のためにアクセスロードが閉鎖中でした。 ホテルの部屋は清潔感があり、窓からは牧草地の眺望が楽しめ開放感がありました。ロビーに共有の冷蔵庫があったので便利でした。共有のホットタブが屋外にあり、外は寒くても体が温まり海外での入浴が嬉しかったです。ただ部屋のシャワーの水の出が弱いのが残念でした。 夕食を敷地内のレストランで食べたのですが、味付けが濃くなくてとっても美味しかったです。

Loved this country retreat

I absolutely loved my stay here! The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, the rooms spartan but clean, and the overall service wonderful. I really enjoyed using the outdoor hot tub! My favorite part about this hotel is that it's in a really remote area, so it's surrounded by gorgeous Icelandic countryside. Also you can ask the owners to go riding for a reasonable fee - they have incredible horses.
