Enjoy magnificent views over the fjord and Sulur and Hlidarfjall mountains from your bright and modern guest room or venture out into the fine hotel garden – bedecked with an open fireplace and seating with blankets – for a glimpse of the Northern Lights or to enjoy the midnight sun.
Amble around the historic buildings, colorful houses, museums, cafes and parks of this harbor town before taking off on country roads to see nearby natural wonders such as the Myvatn lake area with its unique ecosystem and geothermal pool, Mount Hlidarfjall and the magnificent Godafoss waterfall.
