Hotel South Coast

Looking for a hotel that combines the convenience of modern town centre amenities with close proximity to the Golden Circle route? This one certainly ticks all the boxes. 

It’s right in the centre of the bustling new town area of Selfoss – South Iceland’s largest town – which has been reconstructed in recent years with brightly coloured, quintessentially Icelandic buildings in place of those that had previously been damaged and neglected. Just a few steps down the road, you’ll find a plethora of places to eat, drink and shop, including Mjolkurbu Floamanna – an eclectic food court on the site of a former milk factory.

This hotel is also perfectly positioned for exploring the Golden Circle, with the Geysir Geothermal Area and Gullfoss waterfall less than an hour’s drive away, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Thingvellir National Park less than 40 minutes away. You’ll also be within reach of many other spectacular attractions along the south coast, including Skogafoss waterfall and Reynisfjara black sand beach. 

After a day of exploring, the hotel’s spa area is the perfect place to relax, whether you fancy a sauna session or a soak in the hot tub (please note that spa facilities require reservation and an access fee). 

In the mornings, you can look forward to a plentiful continental buffet breakfast, as well as several cooked options to set you up for the day. Later on, feel free to stop by the lobby bar for a cocktail or a deliciously crisp and refreshing Icelandic beer on draft. 

All rooms come with complimentary Wi-Fi access, a TV and a Nespresso coffee machine.
