    Loved the thermal baths on the property, the breakfast spread each morning was great, rooms were spacious with heated floors, and the restaurant had some of the most delicious food! Also the convenience of the activity center being on the property was great, I booked the ice cave, lava cave, and snowmobile all through their website/activity center and had a wonderful time doing each activity. Lastly, I appreciated the northern lights wake up call, I was lucky enough to see them twice during my stay!

    The breakfast was a bit poor

    There is a thermal spa on site, they also call you when Aurora lights are well visible. The rooms were pretty chilly but they offer heaters.

    Nothing. This is a hotel of true character and one of the most enjoyable that we have stayed in, and we travel a lot.

    We had an absolutely incredible stay at Hotel Husafell. Firstly, the food is superb and the best we had in Iceland, both the breakfast and the restaurant for lunch and dinner. It is worth coming for the food alone. The location is remote and spectacular. The hotel is very comfortable and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. There are a lot of cool things to do in the area, we particularly enjoyed walking to see the fascinating ancestral history and art of Páll Guðmundsson, a short walk across the way from the hotel, which really captures the magical earth energy of the locality and the nearby stone canyon. Then of course I must mention the thermal baths attached to the hotel, which are wonderful and free to use for guests. There is also a northern lights wake-up call on offer, and we saw the lights twice. Do not hesitate to come here, we will definitely be coming back!

    They have no ice so you can not make a cocktail in your room or even at the bar. They need a small ice machine at the bar.

    Nice staff, comfortable, espresso machine in the room was nice. Nice breakfast. Shower was nice and good hot water.

    Hotel was noisy after hours…people loud in the halls and slamming doors…hard to get a good nights rest. Pool area is apparently open to all people staying in the area so got a bit busy.

    Location was good for our activities. Dinner in dining room was nice.

    Dusty unpaved parking. Room did not have lotion. They do not give receipt for your stay if you did booking on Booking.com. Pool area with sauna and cold bath required people to wash hair before entering it so if you have a wig or any hair problems that you can’t wash your hair, you will not be able to sit in the hot tubs either. That was extremely disappointing. I wasn’t able to use one thing I was really looking forward to. Bathrooms in the pool area had zero privacy. Showers didn’t have separation, it’s one huge room with shower heads attached to the wall. You leave personal belongings wide open for everyone to see on the bench as they do not have locker room or lockers. They do allow small kids in the pool with full diapers 🤮 I wish I knew all this before I did my booking. I probably would not book here.

    One level property with outstanding breakfast. Comfortable beds and good size room.

    For the price you pay for a standard room, you’d expect a little more. There’s not much of a lounge area and the hot tubs look a little worn.

    The hotel is in a beautiful location in a valley, with a spa-like swimming pool with hot tubs. It is great for trips to The Cave and Into the Glacier, and close to one of Iceland’s most unusual waterfalls, Hraunfosser. We enjoyed our three-night stay in a standard room. It was slightly small and there was no fridge in the room, but one was quickly supplied when we asked for one (supposedly they are not standard for a standard room). It was a similar situation with bathrobes, but we decided not to bother. We supplied our own milk (seems to be the case in most accommodation in Iceland) but there were teabags and instant coffee and a jug for boiling water. Breakfast had a good selection of all sorts of things (the Icelandic rye bread was delicious and the sea buckthorn jam was amazing with it) but I wasn’t a fan of the scrambled eggs. We ate in the hotel restaurant every night, as the bistro closes too early and the other options are a quarter of an hour’s away or more. The entrees and mains are very good (except maybe the horse) but the lamb fillet and the burgers were highlights. Small tour groups were present at dinner for two of our three nights. The place has a special feel reserved for out of the way places - an amazing sunset on our last night capped off the experience.
