Hótel Gullfoss

About Hótel Gullfoss

Dinner is the whole brief at Hótel Gullfoss, a hotel restaurant listed under Selfoss in South Iceland. Country hotel kitchens like this one do steady, unglamorous work in the region: they feed travellers who would otherwise face a long evening drive to the nearest town for a meal, and they do it close to where people actually stay.

Round off a Golden Circle day here — the hotel sits out at Brattholt, close to Gullfoss itself, so dinner comes without the long drive back towards Reykjavík or Selfoss first. As an evening-only kitchen, it answers the classic problem of the route: somewhere to eat near the waterfalls once the sightseeing is done.
