    A very wellcoming space, with a great atmosphere and cozy details. We enjoyed the quiet and the long June days. The center of the small town is very close and the Icelandic vibe (and winds!) are everywhere.

  • We would like to book your studio appartment for 7 nights, 30/06-07/07/2022. Our flight does not get in until 19.30. We will have a hire car pre-arranged to pick up at the airport, but, I would think we would not get to Selfoss until 22.00. Are you ok with us arriving late?

    You are welcome at anytime at Thoristun in the evening :)

  • Can you check in after 20:00hrs if you get delayed with the weather?

Hotel Thoristun (Þóristún) is a small family hotel situated in one of Selfoss´s old houses along the riverbank. It was built by the local pharmacist in the 1958 and housed his family until 1968 when the house was turned into one of the first hotels in Selfoss. The house is well known by local Selfoss residents and has a history closely connected to the town. The house was renovated in 2014 but has kept it´s old charm and charisma. You can´t miss it, it´s just opposite the beautiful church in Selfoss.
Selfoss is the largest town in southern part of Iceland. It´s the perfect place to explore the wonders of Iceland from. Selfoss is a small town with the benefits of a city, with great cafés, good restaurants, shops and supermarkets....and it´s beautiful :)
