Set in Hvolsvöllur, 3.5 km from Seljalandsfoss, Paradise Cave Hostel & Guesthouse offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. We chose the location becuase we had a few short adbventures planned in the area so it was a good central location. It exceeeded our expectations basically becuase of the welcome and the feel of the place; it made me feel really welcome; it was the only place we stayed two nights during our 10 day sfari all around iceland and I have absolutely no regrets. The value for money is astounding and with the quality of the service it was like home.
