Gute Lage, „älterer“ Teil inzwischen etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Prei-Leistung für Abendessen stimmt nicht. Reservierung Anfang Mai nicht erforderlich.

The location and view from our room were great. The room was well appointed and very modern, good tea and coffee making including kettle, fridge. Internet speed was fantastic, great for uploading the day's photos in no time. Nice restaurant with good menu. I would stay there again for sure if I was in the area again.
Gravel car park didn't suit rolling our heavy suitcases.

Nice location to stay in Iceland. Did not have any issues finding the property and there was ample on site parking (we stayed at the beginning of the low season). Room was nice and bed comfy. No issues with room facilities in that bathroom facilities and lights etc all worked OK. Breakfast (included in the room price) was good and a variety of continental style breakfast options. We did not get to see the Northern Lights as they did not come out to play.
Nothing that we can recall.

Very clean and chic in Scandinavian minimalist style. Room and bath were spacious with lovely large window. Tea & coffee & minifridge available in room. Staff were young gracious and helpful. The homemade whole grain bread is to die for, and the breakfast buffet was extraordinary in its selection of breads, croissant, jams, dried & fresh fruits, yogurts, mueslis, cheeses, meats, hard boiled eggs, and a coffee machine with cappuccino/ latte/ espresso options. Also had a delicious cod dinner there, very large portion.

Gullfoss Hotel is perfectly placed in a rural setting on the Golden Circle (not really a circle) between the Gullfoss Falls and Geysir. The hotel has about 30 rooms, ours facing an escarpment and farmland, half of which are in a newer wing. The room was spacious and modern. The hotel has a good restaurant where breakfast is served but no other facilities. Breakfast was included and was good. Parking was just outside reception. A rough walking trail, 3km, to Gullfoss ran along the river gorge, doubling as a bridle trail.
The bathroom was ridiculously small, a major mistake for a recently designed addition, so small that the shower had two folding doors, neither of which could be opened without hitting something. Strangely, for such a windy place, a single door without an airlock led into the reception area.

Hotel very close to one of the biggest waterfalls in Iceland, comfy rooms, friendly staff. Big parking on site. Big restaurant and bar with some nice views.
Breakfast could be better.

We stayed here on a trip in November around the golden circle and it was a perfect spot. Both the location and the hotel itself were great.
The location was superb for visiting sites but also remote enough to see the stars and northern lights. (And bonus that when the northern lights happened the manager came to tell us). The restaurant food was delicious and breakfast in the morning was generous. Cosy and comfortable rooms
Nothing.
4.5 / 5.0
Excellent hotel in a great location. It is literally 2 mins drive from the waterfall and we’ll positioned for visiting Geysir. Comfortable and clean room with a smallish bathroom but perfectly adequate. Breakfast was basic continental but enough to choose from.
