The lodge offers a choice between straightforward rooms and rustic wood cabins, some equipped with a kitchen for self-catering.

Our take

Stóra Sandfell Rooms and Cottages is for families and couples who value a remote mountain setting over polish. The rooms and wood cabins are simple, the cabins come with BBQ grills, and free breakfast, WiFi and parking are included. Some rooms have a kitchen, and the lodge is kid-friendly. A 9.6 from almost 190 reviews is outstanding. Expect basic comforts rather than hotel services, and plan the drive in, since it is a remote spot.

  • ✓If you plan to cook, book a cabin with a kitchen to make the most of your stay.
  • ✓Bring groceries from Fellabær or Egilsstaðir, as dining options are limited in this remote area.
  • ✓Check the aurora forecast; the dark skies here offer excellent viewing opportunities.
