Set within 41 km of Seljalandsfoss and 45 km of Thjofafoss in Hella, Loa's Nest features accommodation with seating area. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The guest house also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. The property is very new, lots of open space in the room and common room. The common room and well stocked kitchen give the guesthouse a social hostel vibe, but the rooms are very well insulated. The only noise all night was the howling wind outside. We checked ourselves in when we arrived in the evening and met the hosts in the morning when they were up early making us fresh waffles and coffee (for free!) Very lovely people and a nice place to stay on the way between Hofn and Reykjavik. Ideal if you are driving and want to cook your own meals.

Lækjaborgir Guesthouse is located in Kálfafell, 26 km east of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

Lækjaborgir Guesthouse also includes a terrace with a seating area. Unfortunately, we've spent just one night, but was really great. Fresh air and quiet location. I've been amazed of the quality of the chalet (it was a chalet, not a room). Clean, very ergonomic organized kitchen, a great value bathroom ( 4* hotel level), and all in a cozy, midsize chalet. Everything was functional and ready to use. For us, was a great pitstop on our Ring Road Journey, Great value for money.
