Featuring free WiFi, Blue Hotel Fagrilundur - On The Golden Circle is situated in Reykholt, 19 km from Geysir and 29 km from Gullfoss Waterfall. Each accommodation at the 3-star hotel has garden views, and guests can enjoy access to a terrace and to a hot tub. Thingvellir National Park is 49 km away and Ljosifoss is 42 km from the hotel. Everything about this place exceeded our expectations. I think what makes me think of this place as even more magical and unforgettable than it is anyway is its artwork - it was stunning and utterly heartwarming in its simplicity. Perfect value for money and location. The place was perfectly clean and the bathroom was a stunner with its space, modern decor and heated floors. Our stay there was a seamless and magical experience.

Situated by Iceland’s Ring Road, Hali Country Hotel offers rooms with views of the Vatnajökull Glacier or the Atlantic Ocean. Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is 12 km away.

Country Hotel Hali has rooms with a private bathroom and a work desk. The buffet breakfast was nice. Our dinner was fantastic, except it was a bit expensive. We stayed in the family unit which was complete with a nice and well-equipped kitchen. The living area was big with dining table. The hotel is beside the beach which is very nice and beautiful.
