Convenient Stay near Gullfoss

prime locationspacious roomhelpful servicehigh prices
The location provided easy access to both Geysir and Gullfoss. I found the rooms spacious. they were comfortable. The hotel offered a wake-up service specifically for viewing the Northern Lights, I found this useful.
The food menu I saw was overpriced. The main course meals were expensive. This pricing felt excessive, especially with limited alternative dining options nearby
Rooms
9/10
My room had windows that open to the nearby farm area, I saw lovely views. The bathroom had a good size, though it lacked a shelf in the shower for personal toiletries. The bed and pillows were good.
Facilities

Free parking was plentiful near the hotel. The breakfast buffet, included with my reservation, included varied and well-prepared offerings. I did have dinner at the restaurant, it was delicious.
Location

The hotel is a short distance from Gullfoss. This is a lovely double waterfall. IT reminded me of being in a wilderness, which I appreciated. Also the location was amazing for viewing the Northern Lights.
