Laugarfell Accommodation & Hot Springs

Hallormsstadur

We spent the last night in Iceland there before taking the ferry to Denmark. 

Very nicely situated in the mountains with two well designed hot pools. 

The accommodation building is a simple but cosy place and very  clean. You can get basic dinner and breakfast there, but you can also bring your own food inside. 

Camping in front of the building. 

Sanitary facilities are very clean, but too few. 

Very friendly staff. 

Very good hiking nearby. We did the 2.5 hour round-hike which starts and ends at the hut. 

Also great place to watch Nordic lights (If they happen) as there is no light pollution.

Nice place in the mountains

The owners of Laugarfell lodge offer a few no-frills places to park camper vans. The facilities of the lodge (toilets, showers, electricity) can be used, for a fee, along with the usage of the two natural hot pots (38 and 42 °C) – an absolute must, especially when the air is as cold as during our visit (6 °C). The breakfast buffet, also available to camping guests, didn't look very promising. Wifi is free, but works only inside the lodge building.

Nice place to warm up!

Very cosy and quiet spot. The hot pools are very nice to relax, there’s a wonderful and easy round hike (8km) starting from the property over the canyon / waterfalls. You can get dinner and breakfast there if needed. Northern lights can also be observed from there.

One thing that surprises me is that there is no warning of which route to take to get there. Coming from the west, our GPS took us through the highlands which was a 3 hour unpaved dangerous experience. I don't blame the hotel for these roads, but it should be out there for someone to see.Because we were trapped in the highlands with no service, we arrived two hours later than we informed the host. The man who greeted us, I believe it was Albricht was incredibly rude. When I walked into reception he said "Can I teach you something?" and walked me to the foyer to show me where to leave my shoes. He said "is this something you can understand?" I thought it was rude but maybe just a language barrier.He continued to make me and my friends feel unwelcome because we arrived late. When I explained why we were late he said "You have a phone, you could have called us" even though I explained we had no service because we were trapped in the highlands. When I asked about laundry he pretended he didn't understand what I was saying and then said they don't have washing machines. When I checked the booking and saw that there was in fact laundry I went back and asked he said curtly, "look at the time, you are too late".It's a shame bc I met Olga the next day and she was really so sweet. We were already so exhausted from the stressful travel if we had just been greeted respectfully it would have made such a difference. Instead it was by far our worst experience in Iceland.

My worst experience in Iceland by far

Loved the hot springs on site right next to the place. Staff was very friendly. Didn't like the strict check-in times because we were running late we almost couldn't check in but it all worked out and we should have planned better. Nice breakfast in the morning and everyone working were very friendly. Thanks for that.

We were fortunate enough to experience the worst snow storm in June in over 40 years while in Iceland. The snow created a beautiful scene but this Texas born and raised travelers was not about to be the guy stuck out in it. We opted to spend the night at this wonderfull spot. The private room was warm, quiet and clean. The entire place looked brand knew and was well maintained. The owner and host were exceptionally nice and helpful. Unfortunately we couldn't explore the property due to the snow. I have this place earmarked for a return trip. 5 waterfalls a short hike away, a hot pot, great accomadations and great hosts. It's a win in every way.

Snowed-in IN JUNE!

Hosts were very nice and the rooms and bathrooms were very clean. There was a beautiful hike to three large waterfalls right in their backyard and the two hot pools were perfect for relaxing after the excursion.

My nephew and I camped at the hotel, ate at the restaurant, and took in the hot springs. The young Polish women who were are hosts were very friendly and we had a long conversation with them after dinner. When we left in the morning, I accidentally backed over the edge of the road soon after leaving the hotel in a heavy fog. Even with 4WD, we could not budge. Fortunately, we were only ~1 kilometer from the hotel so we walked back and related our problem to Olga. She called the proprietor in Egilsstaðir and I explained the situation. All we needed was a tow for about 5 seconds. He told Olga where a tow rope was stored. She took us out to our vehicle in the hotel 4WD vehicle. She did not want to do the towing, so after I attached the rope to both vehicles and instructed my nephew what to do, I climbed into our vehicle and he gunned the motor on the other; I did the same. We were free in 3 seconds! We thanked Olga and were on our way. I will definitely return there the next time I am in the area.

A very friendly place

spotlessly clean and managed with the utmost hospitality, we greatly enjoyed our stay here.The staff, especially Olga where so friendly, knowledgable about the area and welcoming.The rooms and bathrooms are immaculate and cozy and the hot springs divine!
