Hotel Services

A free breakfast buffet, a terrace, and a garden are a few of the amenities provided at Hotel Fljotshlid. The building is connected to the lobby and The Barn restaurant. Guests can buy access to an electricity plug to recharge electric cars. Honey, chocolate, body scrub, and postcards made locally or on the farm are available for purchase. Guests can plant a tree as a carbon offset from traveling to-and-from Iceland.

“This property strikes me as a rustic option best suited for flexible travellers. Its location provides immersion in the Icelandic landscape, but be prepared for unpaved access roads. While some may find the amenities basic, the guesthouse kitchen offers a social space, although potential noise and odours should be considered.”
