Blaskogabyggd Otelleri

Right next to the Geysers Visitor Center. When I booked, I saw a small wooden house. This time I went to live in their newly built building. The room is very large, with complete facilities, and there are disposable slippers. The faucet of the shower is very low, so it is difficult to wash! The breakfast was average, not as rich as expected. Chocolate cake is delicious.

The hotel is close to Gullfoss waterfall and a short hop to Geysir. It’s very remote and high up and is almost the last stop on route 35 before it becomes an F road (rough unsurfaced track with river crossings) that crosses the centre of Iceland. In winter and in the snow this is a cold and icy place and a picture of splendid isolation. So enough about the location. The hotel itself is not a mountain chalet but has that sort of vibe about it. It’s 3 star and family run. It’s not large maybe 30-35 rooms I would guess. It’s Restaurant and Lounge area are contained on the one space though separated by screens and it is all very bright and airy with great views. The bedrooms were not that large but had everything you need and were warm and cozy with decent bathroom and modern fittings and overall of a very good standard. We ate in the restaurant and I was a bit nervous of what the standard might be like and I had considered driving to a nearby restaurant through the snow and ice at night. I need not have worried. The food was excellent and really well prepared and this standard persisted when we had breakfast the following morning and this was a really pleasant surprise well above expectations for a remote three star hotel. It’s family run and you really get the impression that the staff are proud of their hotel and they should be. It’s great. They were very attentive and pleasant and clearly knew what they were doing despite all being quite young. One little piece of advice for the hotel. Put a bit more cozy furniture in the reception area. It’s a wee bit Spartan and a small change would make that welcome feeling you get in the hotel complete, but that’s a very small point and I highly recommend this sweet little mountain hotel.

Great and comfortable stay. The keypad entry makes check in simple. Loved this feature. Several rooms were contained in housing unit and our neighbors were friendly, quiet, and/or absent. The door lock feature on our room required we lock the handle before entering our room. We didn't see another way to lock the door from within the room. We figured it out but advanced info would have helped.

The selling point of this house is location. It is very close to geyser and the Golden Waterfall in the Geyser geothermal landscape area, located in Golden circle. There is a N1 gas station and a family restaurant Mika at the door. Specialty food shiq various Icelandic lobsters Laungoustine and chocolate, mainly serving locals and welcoming tourists. There is also a large family greenhouse farm nearby Fridhelma, which offers a special lunch (12-16 point): a buffet with tomato sauce soup and bread in a greenhouse full of tomatoes and flowers, and a bar with Horse Show reservations. Not far from the attractions, there is also a hot spring town Fludir where you can soak in hot springs.

Beautiful set of small cottages located just a short (15 or so) minute drive from Selfoss. The cottages are quite small (and ours had a bunk bed) and don't come with shampoo or conditioner (which we were prepared for as we had been road-tripping through various cities). The kitchen has everything you need - cutlery, mugs, pots, pans, etc. The reception staff were fabulous and lent us some foil that we needed for our baking. They were also kind and granted us late check-out given that there was a storm the day of check-out. We also ate at the restaurant at night and, although empty, food was absolutely delicious, good value for money, and we were able to call ahead and order so the wait was short when we arrived. A set of 5-6 villas share three jacuzzis - we did not use these as the weather was freezing but I can imagine these would be fun! Worth noting you need a car if you are planning to stay here as the cottages are isolated and there is nothing nearby - the nearest town is Selfoss.

A very comfortable hotel with exceptional food. It was great to see a kids menu that didn’t include fish with chips and burgers with fries. My son loved his meat balls. My dinner was the best I have eaten in an hotel or restaurant in Iceland over the last five days. I really do mean good !!! The staff are so friendly and helpful. We have stayed in a wide variety of hotels across south Iceland at different price ranges from low to high and this was the best … it’s clean and comfortable, staff are kind and lovely, the hotel is well maintained and the food is great. It doesn’t have the perception of luxury of some of the larger hotels and the rooms are rustic - however the hotel is wonderful for its simplicity and charm with high quality of food. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

The location is great, the room is very big, besides the lockers and closets, people in the empty rooms rarely experience a good and enthusiastic landlord, and the furniture and lighting are very tasteful. Breakfast is great, it would be better if it could be provided earlier, the location is great, the room is large, in addition to the lockers and wardrobes, few people in the empty rooms experience a good and enthusiastic landlord, furniture and lighting are all Very tasteful. Breakfast is great, it would be better if it could be served earlier

We really enjoyed our stay. I had booked a room with shared facilities, the first on this holiday. Our room was very small, but it did have a basin. There were two showers and two toilets, between 5 rooms. The nicest shower room was being used when I wanted a shower, and the other shower room didn't have a hairdryer, so perhaps they could add one in there. Other than the short wait it wasn't a problem to share. Most people checked out early, so we had the place to ourselves after 9am. The whole place was bright and airy. Breakfast was good, and there was coffee and tea in the kitchen area.
