8.4/10 Very Good! (429 reviews)
Charming hotel with warm staff, great food and lovely views. We were so happy to see the northern lights after a fun day exploring the sights. The staff goes out of the way to make you feel welcome. We loved sipping cocktails in the warm pool and watching the stars. Amazing.

Very nice apartments. Parking right in front of the apartment. Very clean. Indivudual washrooms so not sharing washrooms with other apartments. Very spacious inside. And many amenities in the kitchen like pots and pans to cook if you want, and a kettle etc. Highly recommend this apartment!!

The information center in the town hall was excellent. The worker there arranged for the Bobby Fischer Center to be opened for us and we had a wonderful experience there as well going south to the coast for beach hiking.

Selfoss is a great stop along the way. We liked that the town has convenient stores and restaurants: Jysk, Pizza Hut, Quiznos, etc. It feels like a little civilization along the beautiful Route 1!
