The Hill Hotel at Flúðir
About this stay
Arriving at The Hill Hotel at Flúðir, guests find a peaceful retreat conveniently positioned for exploring the Golden Circle. The hotel is just over an hour's drive from Reykjavík, with Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot springs only minutes away. Evenings here are about unwinding in the comfort of your ground-level room, many of which feature private patios. Select rooms offer the added luxury of exclusive hot tub access, perfect for relaxing under the Icelandic sky, especially when the aurora borealis is active. The common areas provide a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to plan the next day's adventures or simply enjoy the quiet surroundings.

Our take
I recommend The Hill Hotel at Flúðir to travellers who value comfort and quick access to the Golden Circle over town-centre life. Ground-level rooms with private patios make arrivals simple, and the hot tub in select rooms suits couples and small families after a day at Gullfoss and Geysir. Flúðir is quiet, so anyone after bars and restaurants on the doorstep should look elsewhere. For a calm, nature-focused base, I would choose it, and I would ask for a room with a hot tub.
Why we love it
- Ground-level rooms with private patios
- Exclusive hot tub access in select rooms
- Minutes from Gullfoss and Geysir
- Serene base for Golden Circle exploration
Why guests love itFamilies get an easy layout here: the rooms are on the ground floor, each with an en-suite bathroom and a private patio, so you step outside without lifts or corridors. The setting is just over an hour from Reykjavík and minutes from Gullfoss and Geysir, which keeps Golden Circle days short on driving. Garden or courtyard views are the norm, and some rooms have their own hot tub. I would pick one of those if the budget allows, especially after a long day of sightseeing.
