Guesthouse The Highland Center Hrauneyjar

Road no. 26, 851 Sprengisandur, Iceland –

Food was great, lamp soup, vegetable soup(today's soup) were just fantastic! Also lamp chop or steak was so good and huge portion. Convenient location to hike

Anne, United States of America

The proximity to Landmannalaugar, only 1 hour drive to Landmannalaugar. In terms of location, this is the best choice for people visiting Landmannalaugar but don't want to stay at the camp or hut.

Echy20, Indonesia

Incredible location for landmannalaugar, awesome large breakfast, nice staff, northern lights

Alexander, United States of America

It was an hour from landmannlauger so convenient location The slippers and robe were a nice touch although we were only given 2 pair of slippers for 3 people

Rick, United States of America

Great location, nice people, very reasonably priced, least expensive room on the trip.

Scott, United States of America

The location was incredible and the room was clean with a picture window facing the vast expanse of the Highlands. The staff was courteous and extremely helpful! While much of Landmanalaugar was closed due to the weather and recent snow; there were sights to see in the area and quite a special place to visit!

Sharon, United States of America

We were in the old (original) part of the hotel and the room was tiny but adequate. The food at the restaurant was good and the breakfast excellent.

Andres, United States of America

The restaurant was much better than I expected from a motel that caters to hikers. Very yummy.

Susan, United States of America

Staff was friendly. Facility was really clean and comfy. Would book there again

Christine, United States of America

This place knows what it is- the only place to stay near landmannalaugur. It's full of hikers and has everything you need (beds, food, bar) but is very basic. It is in the middle of nowhere which makes it great for viewing the northern lights!

The room is tiny. But we were mostly just sleeping in the room, and it was functional.
Location: we came to photograph Haifoss waterfalls, which are some 40min drive, some on poorly graded unsealed road. There is no alternative accommodation in the area.

The rooms were disappointing, small and cramped for a couple. The location and atmosphere of the place makes up for everything though.
Great location to explore mountain roads into the interior. The hotel is remote and not especially scenic but with a 4wd you can get to some spectacular and remote areas. While the room was small and basic, the restaurant, cafe and food were very good indeed.
