We really enjoyed our stay in Iceland, it is an incredible place. Thanks again for your help. We would like to return possibly in the winter to see the northern lights for a shorter stay. Our favorite two places to stay were the Fosshotel in Reykholt and Hotel Keilir. The Fosshotel relaxation rooms were fun and the staff was super friendly. The reception attendant happily showed us around the rooms. Hotel Keilir was a great place to stay for its location and view of the water, plus the hotel is owner-operated making the service exceptional. Bryndis made us feel like her friends, and she and her husband take pride in their business. All the hotels were good, but we wanted to mention these two places because they stood out to us most in customer service, which is important to us. Tracy and Steve, USA
