For the first hotel stay of our Iceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, we spent a couple of nights at Torfhus Retreat, a hotel that’s conveniently located for touring the Golden Circle (which has many of Iceland’s most popular sites), but otherwise not close to a whole lot.
We enjoyed our stay at Torfhus Retreat, and loved the convenience of the location, the geothermal pools, and the great restaurant.
However, there are also some caveats to be aware of. For one, the property is expensive for what it is, but that’s not surprising, since we’re talking about Iceland. Beyond that, the property almost felt like a hybrid between a hotel and a home rental, in terms of the limited service and dining, lack of a gym or other amenities, etc.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
