Nice hotel near sigoldugljufur area.

Great place to chill after long day journey to/ from sigoldugljufur area. Thanks for upgrade our room. Nice breakfast with many selection.

The light of self service petrol pump which outside the hotel is too bright. We need to go further to view northern light

Friendly staff, but a bit overpriced

There was a ranger in the hotel in the morning that gave us very good advice and commented on our travel plans taking into account the current weather and expected changes. That was incredibly valuable! The hotel had a common room where you were able to buy snacks and drinks late in the evening. The parking lot was huge.

The hotel was the most expensive one we stayed in Iceland and I can understand as there are not that many available, it is possible to ask for a higher price, but definitely felt overpriced. The description said that it is a small room, but it was smaller than expected. It would be fitting for a couple or one person.

Very good

This hotel offers convenience and comfort in Landmannalauger region- a beautiful but remote area. This hotel has all one needs for day-hikes; sandwiches for hiking, grilled burgers until 11 pm, gas station and a small store. From the hotel it’s another hour+ drive on F208 to the trails area, but this is the only hotel in this area unless you do camping or sleep in cars. The staff is extremely nice and hospitable. I left my walking shoes after checking out, and one of the staff, Guðrún actually drove and delivered them to me near Reykjavík where I was staying, unbelievably kind!

The size of the room is very small.

Good location for Landmannalaugar

A well-managed clean facility. The room was not cheap and was very small but it was comfortable and gave as close a base as possible to Landmannalaugar other than camping. Good bistro meals and a good breakfast.

Passable

The only positive think is the location close to landmannalaugar. maybe now that is all paved to this point it has loose a little of interest.

overpriced accomodation. Rooms are really narrow and toilet also. No space to move if you are in 2 with 2 luggage.

Great location to get away from... well everything!

The location is perfect if you're heading out the highlands. Also an ideal location if you're after the Northern lights since this hotel is pretty much in the middle of nowhere and there's absolutely no light polution.

Our room most likely hadn't been used for a while before we arrived because it smelled very musty. This is also located at one of the few spots in iceland where they don't have geothermal heated water and the hot water tank in the room was quite small. If you need to take two showers, make sure you're being as efficient as possible.

Quick and comfy!

Everything! The facilities were warm and cozy, and the staff very pleasant and helpful. The rooms are snug with large luggage, although are above and beyond when in the Highlands.

Not a thing, everything was perfect.

Overpriced tiny room, very good breakfast.

Sauna, very good breakfast, you can also pack your lunch for the day. They give you single use slippers. The girl serving at the buffet breakfast was super nice and helpful.

Tiny room (smallest we've seen in Iceland), very uncomfortable bed, tiny bathroom, low staff friendliness, abusive price (200€ for 2 people per night).

Good sleep before going Highlands

Decent place to stay before going to highlands in the middle of nowhere. Staff is super friendly and can give useful advices. Food is tasty as well. There is also gas station around. Rooms are quite small but comfortable.

almost no wifi most probably because devices connection limits

Comfortable Stay in the Highlands

Great location for exploring the highlands. The staff was very accommodating and helpful. The included breakfast was pretty good and the dinner was good as well. Rooms were comfortable, but not very big and the bathrooms were good size. Was convenient to have a gas pump out front.

Food quality could have been a little better with more local items on the menu instead of burgers and fries.

Very good

A hotel at the end of the (civilized) world. More a hostel, but what to expect at this location. Perfectly located for all trips in the highland. Very friendly personal, Iceland food, enough beer - a perfect place before you leave civilization and go out in the wonderland.

Very good

Large shower in rather small bathroom. The room is small but functional. No tea kettle. A lot of sockets for recharging your electronic devices.

Hygienic deficiencies in public areas, especially in breakfast room. Tables not cleaned, open food containers, ban on street shoes not enforced, no Covid measures except bottles with disinfectant. Restaurant officially open until 22.00, but no food at 21.30.

Great place surrounded by nature of Landmannalaugar

Fantastic location at the end of the "normal" road, in the interior of Iceland, with good access to "Rainbow Mountains" of Landmannalaugar. Fantastic view from inside and outside of the Highland Center, as you see only nature (the Center is the only building which you can see). Fantastic staff - the best one during my trip to Iceland! Relatively clean room, daily cleaning of the room in place. Restaurant with possibility to buy dinner. Ranger to help you to organize a hiking trip.

If you compare to other place "in the middle of nowhere" - it was great. So the minuses were really connected with the location - great for hiking, but you have to bring everything to this place from other locations. The room was extremely tiny, especially that we were the group of 3, sleeping in 2-bedroom apartment with one extra bed. The hot water was limited, so you need to take quick shower, and make a break between the persons using showers to make sure the water will be heated. But despite the obvious minuses, the place is awesome and I would definitely like to come back here and do more hiking.
