Amazing trip!!! So much to see and do and you all definitely made it a lot less stressful to plan!! I appreciate all your help and answering all my questions! There is no way I could have figured out where to stay, how far to drive each day, and book and time all our excursions accordingly! It was an amazing trip that we will never forget!

Great hotel! They had two spas/hot tubs. They also had a restaurant and a bar. The food in the restaurant was very good. The breakfast at the hotel was also extremely good! Lots to choose from!

It is a beautiful hotel! There is a restaurant and a bar and they do have a spa (soaking hot tub). You need to make reservations for the restaurant for dinner. We were lucky that we arrived and they had a time available because there are no restaurants anywhere nearby.

It is out in the middle of nowhere, but it is pretty countryside

We did not know that you had to reserve sheets, blankets, and towels ahead of time. We did not have any with this, so we just had to use jackets and stuff that we had. If you stay here, make sure you reserve sheets and blankets ahead of time. The showers did not have any hot water so if you’re up for a cold shower, then you can reserve a towel too. There is a restaurant on site, which is nice! It is the only place to eat anywhere remotely nearby

Very nice hotel. There’s a bar and a restaurant. The food looks good at dinner but we didn’t try it because we ate before we got there. The breakfast was really really good! Probably one of the better breakfast that we had on our trip

Cute little hotel. There is a kitchen there that you can use. There are a couple of restaurants in the town that were open as well. They do not serve breakfast, but there is a grocery store in town if you get there before it closes. They did have a washer and dryer that you could use, which was absolutely amazing! We were needing to do a load of laundry, so that worked out perfectly

Albert Guesthouse (Hotel Hvammstangi)
Hvammstangi

It was a good hotel. We did not spend a lot of time here because we got to the hotel late and left early. We did not stick around for breakfast as we needed to be somewhere early. The lady at the hotel did help us find a restaurant in town that was open, and the food was extremely good! Overall, it was a good stay

The hotel was fine. It is definitely older. I did not feel like it was real clean. I would probably pick a different hotel if I was going to stay in the area again.

The hotel was clean, but I feel like we were staying in a hospital room that had been redone into a hotel. It was clean and it was fine to stay one night, but I would probably try to find someplace else to stay if we were to stay in the town again. I would not get the breakfast again. Your options were toast, a bowl of fish, or boiled eggs. We had to go find breakfast somewhere else. :(

This was a good hotel. It had a spa/hot tub. The room was very spacious, but the shower was kind of small. It was clean. They had a pretty decent breakfast. The restaurant at their main hotel down the street was really good! Highly recommend the lasagna!

It was a nice hotel. They had a spa/hot tub. They have a restaurant, but we didn’t get to eat there because you have to let them know ahead of time if you want dinner. There are not any restaurants nearby so plan accordingly. We did eat breakfast and it was very good! I would stay here again!

It is something that you have to do, but there are similar options in Iceland that you could do, so do your research.
