Really enjoyed our stop at The Hill - staff upgraded us to the main building (didn't realize i booked us into the cottages by mistake) and was very pleasant. Room was fine - a little small with an odd door out the bathroom to the patio - but was cute and cozy. Restaurant staff was nice and the girl at the front was really friendly and welcoming.

Check-in was fine, it’s at The Hill hotel across the street. The room itself is very basic. No tv, no microwave, no mini fridge. Just a bed, couch and bathroom. Bed was comfortable. There isn’t a sidewalk leading into the door, you have to wheel any suitcases over gravel. Extra charge for breakfast, 3400 ISK per person. Dinner is also very pricey. We ended up getting takeout pizza from Mika Restaurant in a nearby city, which was very good. The hotel was fine for a quick stop on our way to the next thing, but don’t come if you’re looking for amenities.

Fraudulent alert! I’ve never left a review before. Essentially the listing is a marketing ploy and there was zero hospitality. Be warned - There is no pool at this hotel. In spite of the click bait fraud which has the first picture featured on this site for the property with a hot spring pool which does not exist at the hotel. This should not be allowed as it’s beyond misleading. There are however small hot tubs but these are for the exclusive use of the cabin guests not the hotel guests - which the receptionist quickly and harshly advised at checkin. The entire staff was rude to the point of being disrespectful during both check-in and at the restaurant. Pass on this one.

There was no WiFi, no hot water, and no access to the pools as the description stated. They also provided incorrect information on check-in and gave us the wrong room key. We were only staying to sleep/leave in the AM and so would have rated higher if there was hot water for the shower as all we wanted was a shower and a place to sleep. My sister stayed in another room and had the same issues with lack of hot water.

Lovely, though if you need it bring a sleeping mask as there were no blackout curtains. Also check in is across the road at the Hill Hotel. This was not well indicated by the property.

I’m giving this place a bad review, but I expect it will get much better soon because I understand it’s under new ownership.

Check in was bad. GPS brought us to the back of a building in a neighborhood. No signage, no parking. I walked around the place to find no doors unlocked, just a sign fluttering in the wind that lunch was to be served across the street at a place called “the Hill”. I went across the road to The Hill in the hopes they could connect me to the proprietors at Guesthouse Fludir, and was greeted warmly and much to my surprise was checked into Guesthouse Fludir.

Turns out check in was supposed to be at The Hill - I learned later that the confirmation email did say as much, but I’m not sure I read it in full right after booking, and that was the last communication I got from the owners about our booking.

Once we navigated the clunky check-in, we settled into our family room which was small, way over-heated (only window is in the bathroom), and weirdly laid out (eg- light switch is all the way on the other side of the room from the entrance, toilet is pretty much in the shower).

However, the restaurant at The Hill and all our contact there was excellent. It is my understanding that the owners of The Hill recently purchased Guesthouse Fludir, so I expect things will get much better. If they bring the guesthouse up to the standards of The Hill you’ll be in a good place.

Firstly it was not clear explanation where is the reception. Looking for it when the temperature is -12 not the best experience. In the room sheets were dirty, next day we can open the door because of snow and then lock it. Finally we’ve got a new room that was good. From good side is the restaurant.

The check in area was not marked. It is across the street at another hotel. The heat was set very low as if they were not expecting guests and the room did not heat up until the next morning. We did not receive our Expedia perk. The hot water in the shower did not work. As a side note the area was well lit which made viewing the northern lights from the location impossible. Also this property recently was sold so there is no sign for the guesthouses.

Spacious but exposed to weather

This is the \"poor cousin\" of The Hill Hotel, situated across the road. You have to check in at The Hill Hotel, and have breakfast there.

The \"poor cousin\" is a row of single storey rooms. The rooms are spacious and comfortable but do not have TV. You are exposed to the weather once you leave your room, so I do not recommend it for winter.

Tired hotel with great breakfast at the Hill Hotel

We chose the double/twin room with shared bathroom. The room was warm, but also worn. There’s also a water smell that permeated each bathroom and even the sink in the bedroom. An open window solves the problem, but I do think the hotel needs a facelift (similar to the recent reno at the Hill Hotel). I went during the transitional winter/spring season so the restaurant was closed. However breakfast was provided at the Hill Hotel and that was lovely…

Great location to the South Coast including Vik and the Black Beach. Loved the room but my only suggestions for improvements would be to install a hand wand in the shower and be able to regulate the temperature better. Had the heat as low as possible and the windows open and was still too warm at night. In our two week stay all around the Ring road, this was the most expensive yet the only one without a shower wand. Great full kitchen and Nespresso machine!

Value for money

Rooms are expensive around the Golden Circle and this proves value for money. The room was the nicest of the 4 we stayed at in Iceland. There were 2 bathrooms to 5 rooms so always vacant. Tea & coffee making facilities. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of cold options. The only disappointment was the restaurant was closed for renovations (this seemed to be where the breakfast was though and we didn’t see renovation work). There are only 2 restaurants in Fludir and 1 is Ethiopian and the other doesn’t have a menu online. So instead we used Mika Restaurant.

While this stay is definitely cost effective and clean, we were disappointed with the service.

Their restaurant (which is already very limited in size) was closed for a private event upon our arrival after a really long and cold day of travel. Due to the time and day there was only one other restaurant open which, due to some other factors, couldn't serve us for nearly 2 hours.

There is also a lot of discrepancy between room sizes. My partner and I travelled with another couple and we both booked the same \"double room\". We both paid the same price and we got a very small room that was difficult to maneuver in while our travel partners had a room about double the size.

Overall, the transparency and customer service of this stay was not a high point. If you're solely looking for budget, this is the place to go.
