    This hotel restaurant delivers an absolutely exceptional dining experience. The chef demonstrates remarkable creativity and playfulness while maintaining Michelin-level standards, crafting dishes that are both wildly innovative, locally sourced and expertly executed. Without question, this was the finest meal of our entire Icelandic journey. The hotel is beautifully decorated, creating an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere throughout. The thoughtful design choices contribute to a genuinely relaxing environment that feels both elegant and relaxing.

    Hotel Husafell met and then exceeded my expectations in every way.

    The hotel is impeccably run, with great staff, services, and facilities. Unique and creative foods to taste at the on-site restaurant. I was also impressed with the available activities in the:area. Perfect for my three day stay there. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful with great views of the glacier, and it was different from the landscape around the golden triangle.

    The opening times could be a bit longer. For example, the pool opens at 10 am and closes at 8 pm while it is sunny and light until midnight. The Bistro also closes at 8 pm, so you need to plan your day well.

    Amazing location, food and staff. Thank you Szilvia to make our stay more comfortable.

    My daughter left her swimming suit in the shower but they did not find it. Also, we booked the Ice Cave tour through the Husafell hotel website. When we arrived at the activity centre to get on the bus, they couldn’t find our booking and the driver, Atilla, wouldn’t let us on the bus. He said there was no space. It turned out that there was space on the bus and we could have gone up to base camp and sorted out our ticket. We were traveling in a group so our group went ahead. We agreed to go on a later time and so missed our activities with our group in the afternoon. The Ice Cave was one of the reasons we came to Iceland so was disappointing to have had that experience.

    Nice, clean hotel near activity centre for Ice Cave.

    Only complain was the coffee at breakfast wasn’t very good. Also would be great if they considered putting a nespresso machine in the room or something similar as a lot of hotels did have this and I think it would match the level the hotel is at. Otherwise pretty perfect!

    What a lovely surprise this hotel was. We stayed for two nights not knowing what to expect thinking it might be a bit corporate. The staff were all very warm, helpful and welcoming. The rooms very comfortable with everything you need. Access to the pools amazing! The food…… beautiful in every way. Well done to the chef. The area although remote is perfect for hikers. You could stay there for a week and hike a different trail. Can’t wait to go back to this hotel when we next visit Iceland.

    Heating in our room seemed to be very slow to adjust to changes either up or down. Swimming pool opening times very limited and hadn’t appreciated that there were pools there - don’t recall seeing much of any info on booking.com.

    Beautiful location, lovely hotel with a fantastic restaurant and great activities on the doorstep. We would highly recommend Into the Glacier and the Canyon Baths. Both are really special experiences.

    Hotel Húsafell is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere—peaceful and scenic. The beds were super comfortable, and the buffet breakfast hit the spot. Dinner was the real standout: amazing food, great chef, and excellent service. Paula especially made the experience memorable. Highly recommend!

    This hotel advertises itself on being a prime location for spotting the Northern Lights and it's really well set up for that, with all-night instant alerts (your room phone will ring 3 times if the aurora is visible) and they'll turn off some outside lights to help aid visibility. The only thing you need to worry about is if there are clouds, and keeping warm enough!! The hotel is also perfect for exploring some of the unique features in the region. We went on the Into the Glacier tour (highly recommended for the views from the top of the glacier, the chance to be on the glacier, and of course the chance to be underneath the ice cap). I also heard great reviews from other guests for the Canyon Bath trip. The hotel has its only geothermally heated pools, which are welcome after a day's hiking and a lovely, clean feature (the run in the cold from the warm changing room to get to the water is a standard feature and part of the fun!) The food in the restaurant was truly exquisite - didn't have a bad meal. My only slight criticism is that there aren't many places to just sit inside and chill out that aren't in high traffic areas or by open doors. It meant that, between the trips, when you have time to kill, there's no bar area to sit in (there's a bar in the restaurant but you can't really sit in there other than at meal times). It's nice that there are separate buildings on the estate you can visit such as the bistro and swimming pool entrance, but not always easy in mid winter. We only stayed 2 nights but I can't see this being somewhere you'd stay for more unless there were specific walks and trips you wanted to do to fill your days.

    The room was quite basic for the price of the property

    Great property in a unique location for exploring the glaciers and surrounding areas in Iceland. We were there in winter so didn’t get to do many walks but expect is is a good base for hikes in summer! Good spot for the northern lights too and the hotel will call to let you know if there is a chance of seeing them! Great heated outdoor pool area with hot tub and sauna as well
