Situated in Selfoss, 35 km from Ljosifoss, Ásahraun Guesthouse features accommodation with free WiFi, a garden with a terrace, and access to a hot tub.

The accommodation comes with a TV and a shared bathroom with shower, hot tub and a hairdryer, while the kitchen has a fridge, an oven and a microwave. A stovetop and toaster are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle.

- Very friendly, warm and welcoming host with amazing cuddly and playful dogs: it was a lot of fun seeing Nero running in circles with his giant ball and Pluto laying on your foot for a belly rub! - Shower cabin is clean and equipped with all necessities - Cabin is obviously small, but space was well thought, with plenty of shelves to accommodate things needed for our stay: even if it involves some logistical planning, travelling with massive suitcases was not an issue - Cabins themselves and the location were beautiful and peaceful, making this stay the nicest of a 16 days trip!

Keldur is 48 km away from South Central Guesthouse, while Lake Kerid is 37 km away.

The place was very clean, equipped with a large kitchen and different common rooms to hang out. The room was great and the beds comfortable. The whole guesthouse was probably renovated a while back because it's better live than on the pictures on booking.

This former schoolhouse turned guesthouse is 13 km south of Selfoss and the Ring Road. It offers a communal kitchen and free WiFi.

Thingvellir National Park is a 45-minute drive from Gaulverjaskóli Hostel. A public swimming pool is within 10 minutes’ drive.

We enjoyed a fantastic stay at the old school house! Greg and Magnea are very kind and welcoming. This booking is not just a place to sleep but an experience that I would recommend 10/10! The rooms are incredibly cozy and quiet with comfortable beds, the communal areas are super clean and the location is just very special. The surroundings are stunning, you can watch the stars at night from the hottub outside and if you’re there at the right time - catch aurora! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    An incredibly charming house and idyllic nature around with beautiful views. The hot tub was the absolute highlight. Unfortunately, the view when you sit in it is blocked by the wooden panels and the small windows in it are much too high, so you have no view from inside the jacuzzi; was definitely the only drawback. It is very quiet and there are no immediate neighbors. In summer you can enjoy the midnight sun and dine outside on the terrace in good weather conditions. Be sure to use the barbecue. We can hardly wait to come back. Thank you 💛
