Hotel Geyser – When limited to ‘tourist’ spots I tend to ask myself “how bad can it be”? They might be a bit chintzy but generally you’ll get somewhere clean and warm to stay. Sometimes, that isn’t the case and in answer to ‘how bad can it be’ for our brief stay at Hotel Guiser, the answer was bad. Very very bad. Our presence was a huge inconvenience to the staff who sent us on a wild goose chase to find our room. Upon further inspection after finally finding the room in a different building, a drive away, the room was neither clean, nor warm. We tried to stick it out and after the incredible stays at our previous stops I figured I was just spoiled. The stained linens, hostel space, and thin walls (the neighbor had an issue plugging something in to the wall the next morning. I know that because I heard both the failed attempt as well as the conversation surrounding the need for a different charger) made us sure it was really just time to go. For the first (and so far only) time we checked out of the hotel early. The location is awesome and was saved but a brilliant display of the Northern Lights but I would recommend just driving to and from Reykjavik. Certainly not worth staying in this Hotel/ Hostel.
