Hotel Husafell
Iceland · 9.4/10 Exceptional · guest rating
A modern wilderness hotel in West Iceland with a swimming complex of four outdoor geothermal pools, a sauna and steam room, and Hraunfossar a short drive away.
Hotel Husafell is a practical wilderness escape in West Iceland, with bright, minimalist rooms and large windows that keep the landscape in view. Rooms have heated floors and organic toiletries, and a daily breakfast buffet includes Icelandic specialities. Guests who want to see the northern lights can ask about the complimentary Auto-Aurora wake-up calls. Free WiFi and free self parking are listed among the services.
The swimming complex has four outdoor geothermal pools, a hot tub, a sauna and steam room, and a glass-walled bar serving craft cocktails. A full-service spa is listed as open daily. The Husafell Canyon Baths are just a one-minute walk away, so the area offers more than one place to soak. Two restaurants and a poolside bar add dining choices after a swim.
