Tourist Guide

View from the mountain outside of Reykjavík.
Yesterday #hike up to Mt.Esja it was raining heavily all the way but it was very refreshing 🐶😄💦 #hiking
On the way to Borgarnes before the long tunnel you are driving on this road...it's was a cloudy morning.
We went for a awsome #hike this morning, on mt. Esja 587 meters, it was not very easy, we had a lot of wind, ice and snow, but on the way down it was possible to stop and enjoy this beautiful view 😄👍🏻🐶 #iceland #hiking
Dogsledding on freshly fallen #snow just outside Reykjavik at sunrise is a once in a lifetime experience.

Returning customer, I really liked the first experience so I had to come back. Again super clean, staff was awesome and helpful. My only complaint is parking. Other than that it’s a great stay they provided everything I needed towels, soap, shampo, conditioner and offered great recommendations.

A very nice hotel. Loved the spot access downstairs for guests. It was nice to hot tub and relaxed down there for a little while. The rooms were comfortable and it is very convenient location to walk to the cute downtown. Have to find parking on the road, which is the only challenge.
