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 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.

Hot water stopped after 15 min! So on the 2nd day, I took a shower less than 10 min and then, while my mom started for 5 min, hot water stopped again! They might take too many people, it is cold outside, at least, wanted to enjoy hot shower! It was horrible. The wall btw bathroom and room is glass, not comfortable.
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

The bathroom is reminiscent of a boat (no distinct shower area) and smelled of urine. The bed was saggy and uncomfortable. The walls are paper thin so be sure to bring some ear plugs.
Closest location to hiking in the Highlands.

Room is small. The bed sheet and duvet are also dirty. I think they didn't change it. The shower room is also very small, water splashed out easily while we were taking a bath causing the whole floor wet.
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.
