Category: Iceland

Back in November of 2024 I visited Iceland and one of my planned stops was the town of Geysir, home to a whole slew of the phenomena we know as geysers. To call it a “town” would actually be an exaggeration; other than the field of geysers themselves, there is only a Visitor’s Center that attracts dozens of buses coming up from Reykjavik on a day trip, and two hotels, the mammoth Hotel Geysir and its neighbor, Litli Geysir. The difference in price between the two is considerable, with the big hotel being more than double the price of its smaller neighbor. When I learned that those staying at Litli Geysir are sent to the big hotel for the complimentary breakfast, I decided to save my money and stay at the smaller property.
