Top Álftavatn Hotel Reviews

Hotel Selfoss

10/10 Excellent

"Nice large room with a view of the river, good continental breakfast, close proximity to restaurants and shops in Selfoss. The staff were helpful and we enjoyed using the sauna on the last morning. Great value for the money!"

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"Less than a 10 minute walk to the main shopping area. Parking on the streets around the hotel were readily available and free in the evenings - used the EasyPark app to pay during morning hours if needed. The cappuccino from the self-serve coffee machine during breakfast was amazing!"

CityHub Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"This was perfect for someone traveling solo who doesn’t need a bunch of amenities. I had a solo hub and had a blast I was actually thinking of extending my stay… I would definitely stay here again or at the other locations"

ION Adventure Hotel, Nesjavellir, a Member of Design Hotels

8/10 Good

"beautiful remote property!"

Hotel Grimsborgir by Keahotels

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the perfect home base for visiting all the golden circle sites and extending a bit further east on the southern coast for a day trip! The suites are very nice, and the highest level suite comes with private hot tubs on the patios. I would be remiss if didn’t mention that the breakfast is excellent as well as dinner options. And the hotel is extremely quiet late at night."

The Greenhouse Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great time"

Frost and Fire Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My friend and I stayed there one night while driving around Iceland. The room was very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent with local cuisine and specialty items cooked by natural thermal steam. A hot tub and pool were a nice feature. The location would be ideal to view the northern lights but we did not get to see them due to cloud cover."

Bella Apartments & Rooms

8/10 Good

"Clean room, good location."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

10/10 Excellent

"After checking into a couple self check in places we realized that you must enter the code in slowly, it seems if you press the numbers quickly that it doesn't recognize it and fails. Once we figured it out the self check in went smoothly."
