The Highland Center Hrauneyjar

Small, minimalistic but still cozy rooms. Prices for accomodation and dinner are quite high due to the building's remoteness and lack of competition. They serve "cheaper" snacks until 6 pm - which include the best burger (vegan version as well) we had on our whole trip. Breakfast is great, they even offer vegan options. It's a perfect homebase for a trip to the highland/Landmannalaugar.

Nice rooms and very comfy bed, a bit pricey but there is literally no other option. Therefore they take advantage and charge a ridiculous high price for their mediocre food, even for Iceland prices. They said you get 15min of hot water, however in my room only lasted for about 5mins. Just FYI so you don't eat there and take very quick showers because there is no other place around to stay.

Just know going into the place that you getting a small room by Western standards. The room was very clean and it did the job. The breakfast came with the room and I thought it was excellent. Staff was very friendly. I wish I would have known that they would put my my food in their refrigerator to keep it cold. I would stay there again.

Only place in a 2+ week trip to Iceland that gluten free bread and dairy free cheese were set out for breakfast and labeled. Unfortunately no serving utensils were available for anything at breakfast so everyone was picking up plates and silverware and going down the buffet line using the same silverware to take food. Which meant cross contamination all over the place. Luckily the gluten and dairy free items were around a corner, and I can handle small amounts and this place is really a long place from anyplace else. So close .....

We are a big group, booked 4 different type of rooms at Highland center, all rooms in Highland center are well equiped and very clean with fantastic view, breakfast is great with everything we want. The staff in Highland center are very helpful, especially Castro. I lost my glasses in the hotel, he even stepped out of his way, travel to Reykjavik to post it to Norway, my next destination (there's no post office at highland) I really enjoy the stay with this place and highly recommend to anyone who wants to come highland in Iceland.

We stopped here for coffee during our travels through Iceland, and I accidentally left my bag in the bathroom. I didn’t realize until much later and ended up leaving it there for 5 days. When I came back, they had kept it safe at the front desk the entire time. I was so relieved and incredibly grateful. The place is super clean, the people are kind and trustworthy, and they have great coffee. Thank you so much for your honesty and care!

Extremely solution oriented staff that helped us find a room after tiring highland bike trip. Thanks for very warm welcome and wonderful service. The hotel management should have a look on room bathrooms as they need some love and attention. Very good stay over all!

I had lunch here after I was stranded because my bike broke, the burger was very good! After I left, I unfortunately realized that i forgot my headphones there - but luckily William and Castro were so nice and brought them down to the coast to Selfoss, for me to pick them up there! I can't thank them enough for that :)
