The reasons I’m conflicted

The place had a peaceful ambiance! The heated bathroom floor and comfortable room were wonderful touches that enhanced the experience.

Yet, the restaurant offered a limited and pricey menu, which was disappointing for a remote location.

the only positive was the convenient location, but lugging my suitcase from the distant parking was so taxing! Also, the menu was extremely limited and overpriced—absolutely unacceptabale! I expected at least a complimentary breakfast for these inconveniences, but apparently, that was too much to ask. I wanted to give it a good review, but I just couldn’t!

All the details, none of the fluff

Our stay in a lovely double room was perfection! The breathtaking views and peaceful ambiance set the tone. Breakfast featured creative, delicious options, including a homemade kombucha shot. The hosts offered friendly advice, and the cozy common areas invited relaxation. Highly recommend for a serene getaway!

The atmosphere at Hotel Skalholt was truly remarkable. The breakfast buffet featured delightful homemade kombucha and fresh organic options. The surrounding countryside provided stunning views, and the friendly staff offered insightful tips for exploring the local history, making my stay enjoyable.

Limited dining options.

Parking requires a trek from the hotel rooms, which can be a hassle when hauling luggage. The restaurant has a limited menu with pricey options compared to other eateries nearby. Blinds in the room don't block out light well, making sleep a challenge, and the toilet ran all night, adding to the discomfort.

8/10

Cozy, clean spot with lots of charm! Loved the homemade granola and fresh bread at breakfast, paired with their tasty kombucha. Ope, and those hot tubs were a real treat after a day out. A bit of a mess in the shower, but no biggie. Would definitely come back again!

We loved the peaceful and beautiful rural location, surrounded by lovely scenery and close to local historical sites. The staff were friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our room was comfortable, clean, and equipped with excellent blackout blinds, allowing us to rest well after a day of exploring.

Lovely ambiance, especially ideal if you want a relaxing countryside escape with stunning views and warm hospitality.

The location offers breathtaking views, and the hot tubs are a delightful way to unwind. The breakfast was a treat with a homemade kombucha starter and a wonderful selection of fresh fruits and granola. The staff is incredibly attentive and provides great tips for exploring the area.

Open shower.

The location serves as a perfect base to explore the Golden Circle, with breathtaking scenery visible from the windows. Friendly and knowledgeable staff enhanced the experience, particularly a girl from Poland who shared fascinating stories. The hot tubs offered a welcome way to relax after a day of sightseeing. However, dining options seemed limited since I didn’t have time to try the restaurant, and the amenities felt somewhat basic compared to nearby establishments.

This place was a great fit for a two-day stay in Skalholt with fantastic value. The hot tubs provided a perfect way to unwind after exploring the area. Make sure to double-check your reservation details to avoid any surprises.

We really enjoyed the cozy vibe here, perfect after exploring the stunning countryside. The hot tub was a highlight for our family, providing relaxation after a day of sightseeing. Staying with my sister made it even more special for us all.

My kids wished there were more dining options for picky eaters.
