This hotel advertises itself on being a prime location for spotting the Northern Lights and it's really well set up for that, with all-night instant alerts (your room phone will ring 3 times if the aurora is visible) and they'll turn off some outside lights to help aid visibility. The only thing you need to worry about is if there are clouds, and keeping warm enough!!
The hotel is also perfect for exploring some of the unique features in the region. We went on the Into the Glacier tour (highly recommended for the views from the top of the glacier, the chance to be on the glacier, and of course the chance to be underneath the ice cap). I also heard great reviews from other guests for the Canyon Bath trip. The hotel has its only geothermally heated pools, which are welcome after a day's hiking and a lovely, clean feature (the run in the cold from the warm changing room to get to the water is a standard feature and part of the fun!)
The food in the restaurant was truly exquisite - didn't have a bad meal.
My only slight criticism is that there aren't many places to just sit inside and chill out that aren't in high traffic areas or by open doors. It meant that, between the trips, when you have time to kill, there's no bar area to sit in (there's a bar in the restaurant but you can't really sit in there other than at meal times). It's nice that there are separate buildings on the estate you can visit such as the bistro and swimming pool entrance, but not always easy in mid winter. We only stayed 2 nights but I can't see this being somewhere you'd stay for more unless there were specific walks and trips you wanted to do to fill your days.

A wonderful welcome from the host, who kindly offered coffee, tea, and even waffles upon check-in! The place is beautiful and spotlessly clean, reflecting the culture of Icelanders. The surroundings are stunning, perfect for a walk and catching a breathtaking sunrise!

This accommodation was such a positive surprise! It's in a very quiet location accessible by a countryside road. The room was small, but was comfy, warm, cozy and had everything I needed. A full kitchen is available to use as well as laundry facilities. I had the breakfast included, and I was happy with it (I had my own, but if you require non-dairy milk, you might want to contact them in advance). The hostess was super nice, she served me breakfast and was available to answer my questions - she gave me some good advice which helped me to better plan the rest of my day. I didn't use the shower as Krauma Geothermal Baths and Spa are just 11 minutes away. It also had a stunning view from the terrace.

Wonderful place. Inside, the Scandinavian decor is very pretty, and there's everything you need for cooking. The outdoor hot tub can be adjusted to your desired temperature. Lost in the middle of nowhere, it feels so good there.
We also experienced stunning auroras both nights.

Husafell is a really great city. We travelled around the entine Iceland and we could easilu have skipped a few nights on the road especiallly in the east just to have some few more nights in Husafell. From here you can reach many attractions in just minutes to an hour in the car, and the scenery around Husafell is just amazing.
