“Easy hotel half way around golden circle”
Fabulous hotel in the middle of nowhere. I picked this hotel to be half way around the golden circle, close to the Geysirs and perfect for a early morning drive to the waterfall. Easy check in, nice staff, option of northan lights information. Kettle in room to make snacks as reataurant can be expensive. Breakfast was lovely. Absolutely perfect.
