Litli Geysir -

Travelling D.

Hotel Litli Geysir is more akin to a roadside motel, set in a single-storey T-shaped building. While it’s located near the famous Geysir geothermal area, the views are somewhat obstructed by trees and its position about 100 meters behind its more upscale sister property, Hotel Geysir, which is a proper four-star hotel.

The hotel was booked for its great value but perhaps we misjudged based on the apperance of the hotel room interior.

Ample parking at the front with an electric car charging station. Check-in was straightforward and easy. The reception is staffed until around 10 p.m., after which service is via an intercom system.

The communal areas are nicely designed—cozy with warm lighting, several seating areas, a chessboard, and a display of drinks. There are also some pastries available for purchase at the concierge.

Our room (103), however, was quite basic and cramped. The carpet—blue with white swirls—is the same as in the hallway, and the furnishings are minimal. There’s a grey headboard halfway up the wall, a photographic print of an Icelandic landscape, a grey chair, and a study table with a scuffed plastic chair. Storage consists of a simple bag rack and an open hanging rail.Two singles beds and was very uncomfortable!

The view from the room included some partial landscape to the right of trees and the to the left the part of the hotel building. We did spot a small hare in the garden one morning, which was a nice surprise.

The bathroom was also basic, offering only shower gel and hand soap—no shampoo, conditioner, or body lotion. The water was reasonably hot, but the bed was not especially comfortable, and the pillows were too soft for our liking, though there were two provided.

There’s a communal coffee machine using generic espresso capsules, with creamer, sugar, and a kettle also available was a positive in the morning.

While the location is ideal for walking to the Geysir centre and nearby shops (just past Hotel Geysir), be aware that no hot food is served at Hotel Litli Geysir. There are a few cold sandwiches in the fridge, but breakfast is only available at the main Hotel Geysir—and it’s quite expensive, especially considering it’s not included in the room rate here, a suitable place for those who usually skip breakfast.

The Hotel Litli Geysir is the more affordable motel sister location to the Hotel Geysir, and I would strongly recommend it as a great midpoint stay between the western coast and Vik. Small but serviceable rooms, a nice coffee, seating area, and of course, a 5-minute walk to the Geysir.

My one complaint was the lobby piping in music from 9 a.m. to about 9 p.m., which from my room: 101, closest to the lobby, I could faintly hear, and it was a bit distracting. Request another beforehand if you’re sound sensitive. Otherwise, an excellent experience.

Be sure to book breakfast with your stay. It’s held at the hotel next door, and though I think it was $40-$50 for a room, it’s more than worth it for 2+ as it’s fully continental, and we ate for 1.5 hours. Total for one night was about 350 USD, but competition is low in Iceland, and I was not disappointed. Comfier and MUCH better kept than American motels.

Leider kein schönes Hotel. Das Zimmer hat an ALLEN Fenstern geschimmelt, dafür war der Preis sehr hoch. Die Dusche hat ebenfalls geschimmelt und der Teppich im Zimmer hat recht modrig gerochen. Zum Frühstücken mussten wir in den Neubau der 3 min zu Fuß weg war laufen. Wenn ich nochmal zum Geysier fahren wollen würde, würde ich ausschließen einen Tagesausflug buchen.

This hotel is in a fantastic spot, right across from the Geysir area!
It's the perfect place for visitors looking to explore the amazing geothermal wonders.

The exterior may not be the most impressive, but the experience inside is absolutely worth it! The rooms are small but perfectly formed, clean, comfortable and quiet – ideal for a short stay. The free parking and easy check-in process are a big plus.

The corridor was always a great place to grab a coffee or chocolate, and the best part was that it was free!

Breakfast is served at the nearby parent Hotel Geysir, and it's fantastic, making the morning meal a highlight of the stay. I also loved the convenience of a quick walk to Strokkur, especially in the evening when crowds thin out.

Overall, this is a comfortable and practical choice for exploring the area.

Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber. Das Bad war besser als die meisten anderen, die wir kennenlernen durften.

Der Blick aus dem Fenster war auf einen öffentlichen Platz - man konnte nie sichergehen, nicht beobachtet zu werden. Preis- Leistung stimmt nicht ganz, es ist ziemlich teuer (sogar für isländische Verhältnisse).

Simple rooms with all you need. Great location with nice view. Coffee/tea 24/7. Tasty breakfast, where we tried Icelandic bread (highly recommended) and sweet herring, finishing with a glass of sparkling wine 🙂

Being right across Geysir area makes it at a prominent location therefore high rate for rooms. They offer option for golf.

Our room was smallish but it was adequate for a short stay; breakfast in the morning at the parent hotel Geysir was phenomenal.
