Overview

Enjoy a relaxing stay in this countryside guest house facing the Vatnajökull Glacier. Located four hours from Reykjavík, Dalshöfði Guesthouse offers a simple and modern stay just 25 minutes from Kirkjubæjarklaustur village, where you'll find sites like the natural hexagonal basalt deposits of Kirkjugólf. The glistening Diamond Beach is an hour and 20 minutes away, and the glacier lagoon of Jökulsárlón is 1.5 hours away.

The eight rooms of this hotel are basic and modern, ideal for those looking for a no-frills and comfortable place to sleep after exploring the South Coast. Standard rooms have shared bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces, so for a bit more privacy and your own bathroom, book the one- or two-bedroom apartment. The apartments can sleep four or five people, so they're great for families or larger parties. Apartments include fully equipped kitchens for those who prefer to make their own meals, and you can even use the barbecue.

It is a bit of a drive down a smaller road off the highway, which in the winter was slower going because of the snow. The road however was plowed despite it having been snowing right until our arrival. The guesthouse was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with spices, and best of all there's a second sink so you can brush/wash your face while the bathroom is occupied which saved us time as a group. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Read more
