EV charger on site. Great location in the middle of the Golden Circle. There was a restaurant right next to the guesthouse, and the main Hill Hotel across from the guesthouse has a nice restaurant.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful stay and I definitely recommend staying here. It was not crowded or busy. Staff was helpful and accommodating. No issued checking in or out

Staff are friendly, plenty of parking, close to the Secret Lagoon.
Jeremy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms are clean etc. However, nobody tells you that check in is at the property across the street "The Hill", also the window curtains are very thin, so with now a lot of day light, not possible to get it dark in the bight in your room; the Wifi was broken, and there was no compensation for that.

The folks at Guesthouse Fludir also fun the hotel across the road. They have a really good restaurant, and they are very helpful. We had a booking mixup but they handled it all perfectly--no questions asked. Highly recommend them.
James W, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property and rooms were great and in a really good location. The property was owner managed and although I can appreciate the long hours they must work, we found them to be really rude and not welcoming nor helpful. Highly recommend The Secret Lagoon just around the corner from them.

4/10 Fair

Catastrophic

Firstly it was not clear explanation where is the reception. Looking for it when the temperature is -12 not the best experience. In the room sheets were dirty, next day we can open the door because of snow and then lock it. Finally we’ve got a new room that was good. From good side is the restaurant. Food and service were great.
Sergiy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms we clean and efficient but they include the bare minimum in the way of amenities. Instant coffee, a poor tea selection, no refrigerator, thin towels, etc.. For $250 I hoped for more. The good is that it was quiet and we could park the car right outside of the room for easy unloading.
Stephen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A nice stay for a night. It was a little cold for us and we were unsure how to get the thermostat to work. Unsure if it was user error or if it wasn't working properly. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was great! The breakfast was just okay but it was included which is a great perk with how expensive food is in Iceland.
Kellie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

An inexpensive place to stay, and while it was quite clean, overall, it was just average. Breakfast was cereal, bread, deli meats and cheese. We had difficulty with the locks on the doors.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location and hotel were GREAT!! The room was GREAT. However, the staff were EXTREMELY unfriendly and unhelpful. I believe they were the owners of the property…and I encourage them to improve their people skills. It significantly detracted from what would otherwise have been a delightful stay.
Caroline, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Unique location on the water but close to everything. Saw the northern lights from our window so that was a plus. Room #2 did not lock. Key did not work and we have to strap the door shut at night so managememt may need to take a look at that
Malinda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Tired hotel with great breakfast at the Hill Hotel

We chose the double/twin room with shared bathroom. The room was warm, but also worn. There’s also a water smell that permeated each bathroom and even the sink in the bedroom. An open window solves the problem, but I do think the hotel needs a facelift (similar to the recent reno at the Hill Hotel). I went during the transitional winter/spring season so the restaurant was closed. However breakfast was provided at the Hill Hotel and that was lovely…

I’m giving this place a bad review, but I expect it will get much better soon because I understand it’s under new ownership. Check in was bad. GPS brought us to the back of a building in a neighborhood. No signage, no parking. I walked around the place to find no doors unlocked, just a sign fluttering in the wind that lunch was to be served across the street at a place called “the Hill”. I went across the road to The Hill in the hopes they could connect me to the proprietors at Guesthouse Fludir, and was greeted warmly and much to my surprise was checked into Guesthouse Fludir. Turns out check in was supposed to be at The Hill - I learned later that the confirmation email did say as much, but I’m not sure I read it in full right after booking, and that was the last communication I got from the owners about our booking. Once we navigated the clunky check-in, we settled into our family room which was small, way over-heated (only window is in the bathroom), and weirdly laid out (eg- light switch is all the way on the other side of the room from the entrance, toilet is pretty much in the shower). However, the restaurant at The Hill and all our contact there was excellent. It is my understanding that the owners of The Hill recently purchased Guesthouse Fludir, so I expect things will get much better. If they bring the guesthouse up to the standards of The Hill you’ll be in a good place.
Our welcome sign -  on the other side of the building from where GPS took us.
Just next to the “front entrance”.

Hotel was very nice. The signage for the hotel actually read "The Hill at Fleudir" but the accommodations were very good and the breakfast was 4.5 star.
Bryan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok place. Clean and in good repair. Nice view. Average food. The main picture in the hotel information is misleading in my opinion. The hot pool doesn't belong to the hotel and is just a separate business about 20min walk.
