The erupting Great Geysir is a 10 minute-drive away. Thingvellir National Park is 35 minutes from Gullfoss Hotel. The Kjölur highland road is 2 km away and connects northern and southern Iceland. Reykjavik city centre is 90 minutes away. We only stayed for one night and it was exactly what we needed for a quick stop on the route. The view from the room was very nice both in the morning and in the evening. For dinner we had asparagus soup, grilled chicken and dessert. It was filling, not heavy, and super tasty. In the morning the breakfast was alright. Not the most diverse but compared to other hotels in Iceland there were quite a lot of options. The tea and coffee station in the restaurant was permanently there, and even had cups for to go. The staff was friendly and eager to make pur stay as good as possible. They offered to knock on our door if there’d be Northern Lights, and they did.
