    It provides lodging in a remote area; the room had an en suite private bathroom; the room was nicely appointed with everything we needed; there was a restaurant and a gas pump on site.

    Perfect location and good vibes. Very good for one night stay after hiking in Landmannalaugar (considering the fact that there are not much other options). Loved that you have to take your boots off before entering the building.

    For us this hotel offered the connivence of access to Landmannlaugar, and there are no other options for miles. We had a bit of a unique experience in that we got upgraded to the neighbouring property, and ended up being the only ones staying in...

Property info

The Highland Center Hrauneyjar is situated at the edge of the country’s most impressive and active volcanic area. It is the last stop before entering the vast and untouched interior of Iceland. The Highland Center aims at offering you a “complete” Highland experience from the moment you arrive in Iceland’s interior. Our staff are knowledgeable, helpful and multilingual and are always ready to assist guests during their stay. We aim to provide the best accommodation, excellent food and exciting activities at The Highland Center Hrauneyjar.

Neighborhood info

The Highland Center is close to many of the most beautiful and popular tourist attractions in the highlands - including Landmannalaugar, Þjórsárdalur, Mount Hekla, Sprengisandur, Veidivötn and Fjallabak. The vastness and lack of human impact on the surrounding area makes it truly one of the last places in Europe where freedom, natural beauty and solitude are combined in a breathtakingly powerful experience.
