I think the Borealis Hotel is a gem. It has a very nice sitting area in the main house; the restaurant was good, and the room we had was clean and comfortable. The staff was good and the service excellent. I also enjoyed the fact that the hotel had a bar. I highly recommend this hotel. WBW

The hotel is simple, but efficient at what it is providing: a clean, hospitable place to crash for the night. The staff were more than accommodating, and we particularly enjoyed seeing the family-style way the business was run, where the staff were taking care of many things and were personable and friendly. The location is stellar for people with a car to get to many popular sights in Iceland. We enjoyed our stay, and would come back!

Good place to stay in the area of Golden Circle
Our room was spacious and comfortable. It was clean and well prepared for our arrival. Location of the hotel is excellent, in the heart of Golden Circle so all interesting places are close and to be reached easily by car. Breakfast very good. There is also a hot tub but we did not try it. Staff was friendly and helpful.

A warm welcome and ideal location
We had a wonderful stay at the Borealis. Our hosts could not have made us feel more welcome. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable. The location of the hotel within the Golden Circle is ideal--just 10 minutes from Kerid crater and 15 min or so from Thingvellir National Park. We also enjoyed a very nice buffet dinner in the dining room and a great breakfast in the morning. An extremely convenient place to stay and a great experience with wonderful hosts!

Large rooms
Close to Pingvellir NP, cute lodge-looking hotel with large rooms ( compared to other similar priced rooms in Iceland). Delicious Large buffet breakfast ( continental breakfast means no hot items, but still many fresh items to choose from). Small hot tub outside. And we saw the Northern Lights!
