Serviced apartment on convenient route near Golden Circle area. Within 1 hour to major sights including Kerid Crater, Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss. Nice view of the countryside, but far from any restaurants or stores (20+ min) so plan ahead before you return for the night. Apartment itself was recently renovated and felt very new. Kitchen had refrigerator and everything we needed to make our own breakfast. You are texted a code to the door ahead of time which felt a bit sketchy, but very simple upon arrival. Each unit has its own door with a key pad. Towels were replaced during the day. South Central Apartments was our favorite accommodation (and largest, only one with fridge) out of several across Southern Iceland (including 2-3 star hotels).

The family self-built hotel is very good. The owner's cats and dogs are very cute and loved. The small spots actively sway the stones to let me play with it, and the kittens will come to slap you. As a reminder, the hotel does not have a restaurant and food. Each room has a kitchen. You need to buy it yourself.

We have been set in the independent apartment that can host 4 people comfortable, with a large area day and two rooms (one double and one double). Very clean and provided everything. I recommend that we come with the expenses already made because it is very isolated. To reach it, a deviation from the main road is expected, and we chose it because the morning after we had planned the excursion to Landmannalaugar, because it is along road 30 and therefore strategic position to reach the area.

Wow, just wow! We looked for somewhere unique and found it. Always been a dream to stay in a lighthouse and I think this was close enough! The check in and check out process was easy, the room is comfortable and well equipped. The stairs can be noisy but being metal on the outside understandable, the wind can also be noisy but again it's part of being in that stunning location. We were fortunate that the roads we all completely clear, there was a lot of ice in the cat park but the winter tyres coped fine. The room at the top of the tower gives amazing views and particularly special for sunsets and sunrises, we were very fortunate to see the northern lights too 😀

I’ve never stayed in a place like this before. We stayed in both bubble hotels, Hrosshagi and Olvisholt. Both experiences were wonderful. A few of things to note… 1. Check in times are 5-8pm. There isn’t someone on site all night. Just be aware that you cannot check in whenever you want. Plan accordingly. 2. This is a very luxurious form of “glamping”. Each bubble doesn’t have its own bathroom. However, there are two heated bathrooms as well as a common area with two more restrooms and two showers. There is a small area with a sink and coffee pot and a table to enjoy breakfast or play games with a group. I’m not particularly interested in being without good accommodations. These were excellent and there was never any issue with the restrooms or showers. 3. Bring crampons/ice spikes. It can be slippery. Now for the good stuff… The bubbles are incredibly comfortable. It was cold when we were there (around 0 C or 32 F). The bubbles are warm and cozy. The beds were comfortable and warm, as well. They have a heated pad on there that you can adjust to make sure you’re warm. The experience was just like nothing else I’ve ever done. I didn’t see the northern lights at this one (I did at the other). But the views were spectacular, nevertheless. I slept incredibly well and made sure to just enjoy the night and the morning. There are several great things to do in the area. It’s not far at all from some fantastic sights- Secret Lagoon, Gullfoss, Bruarfoss, Faxafoss, Kerid Crater. Try the food at Fridheimar and Efstidalur. It was excellent.
