Sundhöllin

Absolute gem. Beautiful temperature outdoor and indoor lane swimming pools,super clean facility with great hot tub and a tiny 3 person sauna. No stinky chlorine. Friendly and helpful staff and all great comfort. Warm outdoor swim whilst it is snowing?Loved it.

It was fairly quiet on a Sunday morning around 10am. There’s an indoor pool and an outdoor pool for swimming laps, a few hot tubs and a cold plunge, a steam room and a tiny sauna. The lockers were easy to use.

This is a great place to swim a few laps or relax. The pools are good, clean enough and seem well maintained. There is a good variety of pools and activities. The entrance fee is reasonable and I appreciated the swimsuit dryer right after the showers. Remember to shower thoroughly without swimwear before going into the pool. I appreciated the clean and easy to use shower area and lockers. I will be going back here when I visit Iceland again.

Visited in December 2024. Very nice pool, with hot tubs, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Indoor and outdoor pool. For visitors, can hire towels and swimming clothes, price list attached.

This is such a smarter choice for families than the blue lagoon. The friendly staff explained all of the rules to us and it was so easy to get into the water. Perfect for warming up and relaxing at the end of a long day. It is also a nice window into life in Iceland. I wish that we had these facilities at home.

Hidden gem. Forget the blue lagoon, forget the sky lagoon. Come to this place! Its a bargain to get in (compared to the mentioned above). And you amerce yourself with the locals! We paid on the door. Get naked, take a shower, forget your towel. Get confused in the changing rooms as to which door goes where… remember what locker yours is… Get outside into the freezing air - even better at night as the place is lit up. There’s loads of pools with different temperatures from cold to boiling (44 degrees c) - it’s thermally heated, so no itchy eyes from chlorine, thus you have to shower before getting in. All this place needs is a bar. Ok getting a bit ahead of myself. Come out feeling really relaxed and wobbly. Once you go you’ll want to come back.

[Bad behaviour/Racism report: Staff information included] There's a sign that you can't take a phone with you into the pool, which was clear. So I took a photo of the outside pool through the window before I put the phone into a locker to go into the pool. However, the staff member came and told me that even photo shooting from the window, as some people have done in the reviews, is forbidden. (I checked the reviews first before the visit, so I thought taking photos outside was allowed.) Anyway, I apologised and deleted the photo right away in front of him, of course. However, he HUMILIATED me and treated me like a DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING and a COCKROACH even though I deleted the photo right away, apologised, and explained that it came from my misunderstanding that photo shooting was not allowed only in the pool at first. If his terrible behaviour is caused by racism towards Asians (because I am a small Asian girl), the staff deserves to be fired. If not, I kindly advise the pool to train him. That ruined my whole experience at this pool. It happened at 8 am, 22nd Nov 24. The staff was a young white guy with short brown hair who came with a female staff with long blond hair at first(She was friendly. His misconduct happened after she left the scene first). He was also overseeing the indoor pool area, wearing a beret around 9-10 am. I think this is enough information for the pool to track him. He needs to be trained on how to deal with respect with people no matter where they come from, and hopefully, there will be an improvement in the signs by adding written signs on the wall as well, so nobody misunderstands like me.

This is a truly authentic inexpensive experience of Icelandic culture. Great for those who don't need the fanfare of spa style hot springs. Pools are heated with geothermal water and facilities quite often have "hot tubs" of varying degrees, steam rooms, saunas and thermal water showers. More popular pools may be slightly chlorinated. During fall months weather can change considerably while in the pools but you still stay warm. If travelling on larger groups or if you plan on utilizing the facilities more than once buy the 10 visit punch card. You will save approx $40 cdn going this route (good family option). Showers do require nude bathing before entering the pool (gender specific facilities). Everyone does it so don't be shy. We are all human after all. Absolutely no phones or image taking equipment allowed in the facilities for privacy reasons. Lockers are available for your clothing and shoes with no additional charge. You can pay with credit card. Amex not accepted. This facility does have an elevator (lyft) for those with mobility issues but may be difficult to get around if you are in a wheel chair. Excellent wading pools for small children and both indoor and outdoor pools to do laps if you so wish. Handicap parking out front. Handicap permit from other countries may he honored here.
