  • K

    Kim

    Asked on March 18th, 2026

    can you describe a "comfortable yurt"? heated?

    Accommodation
    • Explore!Operator•Written March 2026

      We no longer use a yurt on this trip. During this tour of Iceland, we stay in two comfortable-graded hotels, Hotel Gullfoss and Hotel Storm. Hotel Storm is a contemporary, three-star hotel located a 30-minute walk from Reykjavik city centre. The twin-share, en-suite rooms are bright and comfortable. Each room has tea and coffee facilities and there is free WiFi throughout. In the local area, you'll find plenty of cafes and restaurants, as well as local sites and shops. Hotel Gullfoss is a three-star highland hotel located by the Hvita River. Rooms are twin-share with en-suite facilities - all cosily decorated. There are tea and coffee-making facilities in each room and free WiFi throughout. While the local area is teaming with natural wonders to explore, there are no shops or dining options within easy reach so we'll dine in the hotel's restaurant.
