    Very clean and chic in Scandinavian minimalist style. Room and bath were spacious with lovely large window. Tea & coffee & minifridge available in room. Staff were young gracious and helpful. The homemade whole grain bread is to die for, and the breakfast buffet was extraordinary in its selection of breads, croissant, jams, dried & fresh fruits, yogurts, mueslis, cheeses, meats, hard boiled eggs, and a coffee machine with cappuccino/ latte/ espresso options. Also had a delicious cod dinner there, very large portion.

    We remember the highlight of freshly made scrumptious waffles for breakfast at our earlier stay and were sad to discover they were no longer offered.

    Second time staying at this hotel - the first time it was still under construction, but that did not get in the way of a great experience. This time again we had a room with a beautiful view, it was comfortable, very clean, the staff attentive and friendly, dinner was very tasty. Hoping we will have yet another chance to stay sometime later, and that we will remain very satisfied.

    The facility was AMAZING! Way exceeded our expectations. Clean, quiet, had all three rooms together. We have struggled since getting here finding breakfasts that weren't just pastries. What a pleasure to have soeculialty coffees, fruit and eggs!! You never know what you're going to get based on internet pictures! But this did NOT disappoint!

    The rooms were a bit warm.

    The location is perfect for visiting all sites on the Golden Circle. The views from the hotel are exceptional and the area is quiet and peaceful even though it is located near such popular attractions as Geysir and Gulfoss. The breakfast buffet was astounding, everything you could want. Dinner was also delicious.

    Nice hotel perfectly placed for visits to Gullfoss and Geysir.

    The bathroom was ridiculously small, a major mistake for a recently designed addition, so small that the shower had two folding doors, neither of which could be opened without hitting something. Strangely, for such a windy place, a single door without an airlock led into the reception area.

    Gullfoss Hotel is perfectly placed in a rural setting on the Golden Circle (not really a circle) between the Gullfoss Falls and Geysir. The hotel has about 30 rooms, ours facing an escarpment and farmland, half of which are in a newer wing. The room was spacious and modern. The hotel has a good restaurant where breakfast is served but no other facilities. Breakfast was included and was good. Parking was just outside reception. A rough walking trail, 3km, to Gullfoss ran along the river gorge, doubling as a bridle trail.
