Hotels near Skalholt Historical Site

"I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Laugarvatn. The staff was incredibly accommodating, always going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. The hotel is conveniently located near Geysir and other major Golden Circle attractions, which made exploring the area so easy. There’s also a path for a mountain hike right across from the hotel, which was a great bonus and made the stay even more memorable. The peaceful setting by the lake added to the experience, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. I would definitely stay here again. They also have great coffee!!!"

"One of the most unique and memorable hotel stays we’ve ever had. Watching cows and calves through viewing windows while dining was such a special experience, and the on-site ice cream bar was a fun bonus. Check-in required a quick workaround since no one was initially at the front desk, but the restaurant staff kindly helped us connect with them—problem solved easily. The room was gorgeous—a dream space that honestly inspired future home renovation ideas. Heated bathroom floors, a powerful rain shower with handheld option, and a heated towel rack made it feel luxurious and cozy. The mountain views from the large windows were breathtaking. The glass house seating area for Northern Lights viewing was such a thoughtful touch. The farm-to-table restaurant was outstanding—everything cooked to perfection. Breakfast was also very good overall, though the pancakes had a slightly tangy flavor. Location-wise, it’s perfect—close to stunning spots like Brúarfoss and within easy reach of Secret Lagoon. An unforgettable stay—highly recommend!"

"We enjoyed our stay in the bubble, there are not any on-site staff and while we did not run into any issues, you need a land line to call to contact for assistance. We were able to see the northern lights and the bed was nice and toasty warm, overall an enjoyable experience. "

"Beautiful view from our room. Room was clean. Didn’t make it to the hot tub but looked nice."

"Good place to stay."

"Lovely decorated, clean room. Small things that could have been better - kettle in room but where it's situated, can't be plugged in - had to put it on the floor. Would have been good to have glasses in room and a fridge would have been great! Otherwise, nice enough stay. "

"We had a perfect short stay, and would have loved to stay longer if our itinerary allowed. Everything was perfect and clean, as if we were the first visitors. We are a family of 6 with 4 children, and were hesitant if the kids would feel comfortable next door to us. It worked out perfectly. Clean and cozy! Bonus: We were able to see the Northern Lights even though it was a cloudy night. "

"Great location. Staff were super helpful. Rooms comfortable and location made it easy to get to many of the sights on the Golden Circle. "

"The stay we had was enjoyable. The dinner we had at the Hvonn Restaurant was memorable. I would recommend it as an experience not to be missed when in Iceland. "
