Brattholt, 801 Haukadalur, Iceland –

Lock in a great price for Hotel Gullfoss – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything. The rooms are large, warm, comfortable and elegant; the bathroom are spacious and impeccable, with delicate lighting. The staff was kind and helpful, in particular a Spanish girl called Esmeralda. Thanks a lot to her and to everybody at this hotel so special to us.

Luca, Spain

Awesome rooms... sleek modern bath design... breakfast to the point of spoiling - really.. nice staff.. yes I am a real customer. I loved the place... nice location too.. near the falls, not far from the geyser... we went to the falls to shoot aurora photos in mid january... nice locale for photographers

Allart, United States of America

The food at the restaurant and for breakfast was amazing.

Gayle, United States of America

Friendly and helpful staff. Good location. Meals on site

Rebecca, United States of America

We loved being in a remote area so close to Gulfoss and other sites in the golden circle. We also loved the dinner at the restaurant and how the waitress informed us of the northern lights.

Christine, United States of America

I was in a room designed for a disabled person. It had excellent facilities. Staff were great and breakfast was amazing. Dinner good too. Hotel was quiet.

Christiane, United States of America

I can confirm all the good opinions from other guests, it is really beyond than expectation, the location and surrounding area made it a good stop for morning at Gullfoss Warterfall and of course Northern Light !! Tips: Since you no longer allow to bring car to Bruarfoss waterfall, the hike to/from takes 2 hours just to walk to through the muddy area and private resort. I would recommend that you split Golden Circle into 2 days trip and you will not regret it.

“Very happy and well fed.”

Small gripe about all the showers we have used in Iceland - there seems a design requirement that the bathroom is a wet room so no shower enclosures are waterproof and the rest of the bathroom floor gets wet when one has a shower. Irritating but just requires extra bath mats to soak up the excess!
Friendly welcome and a lovely large room with very comfortable bed. The restaurant was a little soulless but again the staff were so friendly that it warmed the place up. Breakfast was fine, but the evening meals were very good quality and incredibly generous in terms of portions. Fresh ingredients and nicely cooked - nothing fancy but simple good quality. Very limited if you are vegetarian. A special thank you for the delicious chocolate cake the chef prepared for my husband's birthday dinner.

“disappointing - restaurant closed and we were recommences”

disappointing - restaurant closed and we were recommenced a local bar which was terrible - we had booked the hotel ( in the middle of nowhere) on the basis of being able to eat and chill after a busy day sightseeing. We had prepaid - and couldn't cancel - there were only 3 other rooms taken on the hotel.
V easy to reach Gulfoss waterfall. Bed comfy and shower great. If it had been fully staffed an restaurant open I imagine we would have had a different experience.

Nothing really. It was a good place in an isolated location, like a lot of Icelandic hotels.
The location just south of the Falls was excellent. We liked the dining area with its pastoral views. The dinner was both of a high quality, and the self service breakfast pretty standard. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. What more do you want?

“The hotel is great. The staff spoils the experience.”
- • Leisure trip

The check-in process was terrible. The receptionist was responsible for both the front desk and the restaurant so even though we have arrived first at the front desk for the check in, she decided to bring two groups from the restaurant and charge them before helping us. She took less time to do our check in than charging for each restaurant bill and at no moment she communicated why she was doing that and never excused for delaying our arrival to our room. Also when we asked for a table in the restaurant, she asked us to come back one hour later but we decided to ignore her and just 20 minutes later we were having dinner. Terrible customer service from her part.
Very convenient location to start or end your day near two of the greatest attractions on the Golden Circle (Gullfoss and Geysir). The room was very comfortable (as every hotel we stayed in Iceland) and breakfast was great.
