Romantic Hotels in Selfoss

Great location and nice view from our king room with river view. Bed was comfy and room was very clean. Desk personnel were exceptionally helpful and friendly. I can't comment on the value, as it was part of a package tour as prices were not broken out of total, but we would definitely stay there again. We had prepaid for breakfast, which was excellent, but we did not otherwise dine at the hotel restaurant, so can't comment on that.

Our family of three adult couples spent three nights here. The location allows for access to the southern part of the island while still being close to a city (Selfoss). It’s in a remote area that is quite beautiful. Most of Iceland is devoid of trees but the father of the owner has planted 100,000 of them on the property over the past 50 years and the baby forest is amazing. The hotel has a lovely dining area where a delicious and varied organic breakfast is included with the room. Dinner is served as well for an extra cost and we had it one evening—the bread, salmon, lamb, and brownie were delicious. The dining area offers fantastic sunrise views in the morning. There are about 1-2 dozen rooms all facing a long corridor that serves as a living room. I was worried about possible noise from other guests but it was very quiet at night. The rooms are lovely with gorgeous views. Bathroom is large and nice. Each room has a small patio and direct access to the outside. The spa is next to the hotel and has an outdoor pool kept at about 35 C (95 F), indoor pool that is much hotter (like 104 F), and two hot tubs on a hill with good views but they are not hot. We couldn’t really stay in them long and I’d estimate them to be about 90 F. The water for all three is from geothermal springs and they have two posters highlighting the info about them and their specific mineral content. They are full of minerals—the water is not dirty. It is renewed almost daily and tested by the authorities. Some of the negative reviews here are just ignorant. There is also a sauna that fits 6-8 people and gets super hot (180+ F). We really enjoyed the amenities. The only thing I disliked was not being able to control the room’s ventilation system or heating. It’s hotel wide and controlled by the owners. You can open a window to cool the room though. The owner Anna is very warm and welcoming. She allowed us to visit her horses and gave us bread to feed them. The two hotel dogs are also adorable and we enjoyed their sweet behavior like joining us for walks around the property. I would absolutely stay here again if we returned to the area.
