Hlid Hostel

About this stay

Hlid Hostel sits in Reykjahlid, 500 metres from Lake Myvatn, with rooms and standalone cottages built from timber rather than a single hotel block. Shared bathrooms and a communal laundry room run across the buildings, and free WiFi and parking cover the basics. The BBQ area and terrace outside the shared kitchen become the social hub most evenings, with cycling and hiking routes leaving straight from the property. The geothermally heated Myvatn Nature Baths, drawing on the same volcanic activity that shaped the surrounding lava fields, sit 5 km away, and Dettifoss Waterfall is a longer 30.5 km run for a dedicated day trip. Golf at Krossdalur is also within 3 km, a small bonus for guests who packed clubs alongside hiking boots.
