Slightly sceptical of staying in the Golden Circle, even out of high tourist season, I happened upon Hotel Gullfoss as it evenly spread my drive both leading up to and following it, and since it was perfectly located between Hauksdalur Geothermal Area and Gullfoss too, I knew there would be the opportunity for late night and early morning photo excursions!
Easy to spot on the approach to Gullfoss, from the outside it’s quite unimpressive. There are two long single storey wings – one clearly newer than the other – but never judge a book by its cover, as they say, for this place truly is a tardis with gorgeous super modern Scandinavian interiors!
Hi Casey-Drew, this sounds and looks truly wonderful. It certainly looks like you ended up in a awesome spot.
This is not to be missed by the next wave of travellers.
I’m due to leave for Iceland the end of August, I’m following part of your trip. There’s a group of us going and we’ve found your blog posts so helpful. We were talking about replicating some of your incredible trip, literally, and your photography. Maybe in the future you could give a travel class? The way you…plan your trip, pack your photography kit, planning the route day to day and so on. You get the picture.
Thanks so much, we’re so excited!
Really useful stuff once more…accommodation recommendations save so much time and hassle, thanks!
