The Greenhouse Hotel, Golden Circle

Kimkim team favorite · 4.5 (6 reviews) · Comfort
Cozy hotel with modern, minimalist rooms, an international food hall, and stores with Icelandic products

Overview

The Greenhouse Hotel isn't just a hotel; it's an entire hospitality complex in the geothermal town of Hveragerði. This modern building houses a hotel, a food hall, and shops offering local products. Hveragerði is known as the hot springs capital of the world, which you can experience with a quick 7-minute walk to the Geothermal Park. Some of the most famed attractions of the Golden Circle are within an hour's drive, such as Þingvellir National Park and Geysir. Reykjavík is just 45 minutes away by car, making this hotel a perfect base to experience all that Iceland has to offer.

Rooms are chic, bright, and minimalist, with clean lines and a cozy Scandinavian design. All have mountain views and bathrooms with rainfall showers. The Family Room includes a set of bunk beds, ideal for parties of up to four people. Suites offer extra living room space for those who want to spread out. Accessible options are available for those with limited mobility.

One of the hotel's highlights is the fact that it's part of a complex that can meet all of your needs. The food hall has seven restaurants, with cuisine ranging from Icelandic to Mexican, so you can find something new to eat each night. Grab a seat at one of the bars after perusing the hotel's shops featuring Icelandic products. As indicated by the name, the atmosphere is one of a warm and cozy greenhouse, thanks to lush indoor plants and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The hotel itself was really cool. The lobby and hotel bar/food hall was great. As was breakfast. The rooms let a bit more to be Desired. Ask for a room facing the back, not the main road. Read more

Loved this hotel. Very clean, great hotel shopping with lots of Icelandic products, clothing and souvenirs. Delicious breakfast, nice bar area that had numerous food choices, similar to a food court. We ate at the street taco place and it was delicious. Cozy places to sit and enjoy a drink in the evening talking and relaxing. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Read more
