Australia83 Reviews12 helpful votes“Great cosy place to visit and good access to the famous Gullfoss waterfall”Very cold and wet area outside, so a waterproof tub for wet boots, and somewhere to hang wet jackets just inside our door would have been useful. We used the bathroom for this.
Warm and comfortable hotel in a remote location. The room was nice but basic, although we were very satisfied. The view of the countryside was lovely. The restaurant was great, both in terms of food and view, and the staff were very nice. We walked for the hotel to the Gullfoss (about 7km round trip), and this was a highlight.

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.

We came to Hotel Gullfoss to see the Northern Lights and we were not disappointed!!! What a perfect place to see the Northern Lights, we felt lucky and blessed. What a magical place to stay....dark, quiet and feels like you are lost in the middle of nowhere..but you ar not :-). You can visit the Gullfoss waterfall after visiting hours and have the place to yourself. We also visited Skol Bistro to have a nice affordable lunch (5 minutes drive) and the Secret Lagoon, much better and more authentic than the famous Blue Lagoon. The room was nice with a big comfortable bed and we enjoyed the breakfast buffet with the fresh fruits and bread. Definitely recommend staying here.

The location is a good base for travellers doing the golden circle. They offer northern lights alert. Though we weren’t able to see it in our stay, I imagine the hotel would be a perfect place to see the northern lights.
