A flat-screen satellite TV, electric kettle and seating area can be found in all Hótel Laxá rooms. Free toiletries and a hairdryer are provided in the bathrooms. Our stay at Hotel Laxa was fantastic! The room was compact yet functional and the view of the lake and mountains was magnificent! The tasty breakfast offered a wide variety of delicious options and the team was quick to clear tables and efficiently manage the buffet. The hotel staff’s exceptional hospitality added a personal touch to our experience.

Situated 24 km from Godafoss Waterfall, Hotel Raudaskrida features accommodation in Þóroddsstaður with access to a hot tub. With free WiFi, this 3-star guest house offers a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage space. The guest house has family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. The owners were the friendliest people I have ever met during my travels. Parking was right outside the room, so having heavy luggage was no problem. The bed was stiff and super comfortable, exactly how I like it.
