Find the Cheap Blaskogabyggd Hotels

This was just ok for my husband and I while we were doing Iceland via camper-van this time around. We checked in at the restaurant and paid but service wasn’t really friendly. The next morning a man in a truck came around and asked us if we paid and left when we said yes. The pool was closed but hot tub was open. We did laundry here. There is one washing machine and one dryer. It automatically dispenses detergent, no need to bring your own. The night we checked in several couples were in the common area cooking inside even though there were signs posted no to do so. The shower room has 4 open communal showers and one toilet. Even though someone came in to “clean” while I was there there was no toilet tissue and none was placed the whole time I was there. Only trash removed. The campsite had electric, that was a plus. Expensive for what it is. Down where you camp there is only restrooms, no showers. You have to go up the hill by the restaurant to shower.

I’ve never stayed in a place like this before. We stayed in both bubble hotels, Hrosshagi and Olvisholt. Both experiences were wonderful. A few of things to note… 1. Check in times are 5-8pm. There isn’t someone on site all night. Just be aware that you cannot check in whenever you want. Plan accordingly. 2. This is a very luxurious form of “glamping”. Each bubble doesn’t have its own bathroom. However, there are two heated bathrooms as well as a common area with two more restrooms and two showers. There is a small area with a sink and coffee pot and a table to enjoy breakfast or play games with a group. I’m not particularly interested in being without good accommodations. These were excellent and there was never any issue with the restrooms or showers. 3. Bring crampons/ice spikes. It can be slippery. Now for the good stuff… The bubbles are incredibly comfortable. It was cold when we were there (around 0 C or 32 F). The bubbles are warm and cozy. The beds were comfortable and warm, as well. They have a heated pad on there that you can adjust to make sure you’re warm. The experience was just like nothing else I’ve ever done. I didn’t see the northern lights at this one (I did at the other). But the views were spectacular, nevertheless. I slept incredibly well and made sure to just enjoy the night and the morning. There are several great things to do in the area. It’s not far at all from some fantastic sights- Secret Lagoon, Gullfoss, Bruarfoss, Faxafoss, Kerid Crater. Try the food at Fridheimar and Efstidalur. It was excellent.

Stay here, get up in the morning and drive for a while, you can see the gullfoss waterfall, very casual. The hotel has a meal bar, you can have a drink at night. The mutton rice brought by my husband, the staff is also very nice and hot, this is private. Sitting in the warm cabin and watching the snow outside, it is very good.

We arrived here early, and the hotel was very accommodating and allowed us to check in early. The rooms a very large (compared to other Iceland hotels) and very comfortable. In the centre of the complex are two spa pools (if you don't have your own private pools) and they were simply relaxing and clean. After the relaxing spa, it was off to the bar and restaurant. The waiting staff made us feel really welcome, and the menu had a wide variety with different price points. The quality & quantity of the food was just right. I did find an unusual piece of decor amongst the pleasant art throughout. I would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. I had booked a room with shared facilities, the first on this holiday. Our room was very small, but it did have a basin. There were two showers and two toilets, between 5 rooms. The nicest shower room was being used when I wanted a shower, and the other shower room didn't have a hairdryer, so perhaps they could add one in there. Other than the short wait it wasn't a problem to share. Most people checked out early, so we had the place to ourselves after 9am. The whole place was bright and airy. Breakfast was good, and there was coffee and tea in the kitchen area.

The room is simple and clean, but there is no small refrigerator, but there is a location to refrigerate food with the restaurant, the service staff is kind, the room view is good, it is a place to choose during the trip, there is a supermarket next to the gas station

The house was very cozy and the check in process was very easy as well. The room was a perfect size with a bathroom bigger than our apartment. It's very clean and the owners are just a phone call away. They are very sweet, helpful and will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Not to mention the pricing is extremely good (Sleeping arrangements are very expensive in Iceland)!. Almost every attraction in the area is within walking distance and with your booking confirmation you can receive discounts at selected places. 10/10 will definitely book again!!

We didn’t stay at the hostel, but we were staying nearby and went for dinner one night, and went back the next night after dinner for a drink. Thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The staff were superb, really lovely and welcoming and happy to chat. The food was really tasty and good value, generous portions. The style of food was quite wholesome local food, and although the menu was small, they were careful to have options to suit a range of tastes (vegan, fish, meat). The place was comfortable and the dining room had great views over the lake. Highly recommended!
