Room was clean. Ate breakfast in town and dinner. Across the street from hotel is food hall with excellent lunch options. Walkable to breakfast spots and dinner. Beautiful town. Close to Lava Tunnel and great stopping point on ring road. Only two hours to Vik

ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir, a Member of Design Hotels
Charming hotel with warm staff, great food and lovely views. We were so happy to see the northern lights after a fun day exploring the sights. The staff goes out of the way to make you feel welcome. We loved sipping cocktails in the warm pool and watching the stars. Amazing.

South Central Apartments
Very nice apartments. Parking right in front of the apartment. Very clean. Indivudual washrooms so not sharing washrooms with other apartments. Very spacious inside. And many amenities in the kitchen like pots and pans to cook if you want, and a kettle etc. Highly recommend this apartment!!
