This pool is usually less busy than Sundhöll Reykjavíkur and Laugardalslaug. I recommend taking a dip in the cold one (4c-8c) than to the hottest one (42c), repeat a couple of times ????. As always, please remember to wash before entering the pools in Iceland ????.

Just getting into a hot pot is a great thing to do in Iceland. The swimming pool in Dalvik is well maintained and clean, and the staff is very friendly. Having several hot pots with different temperatures and actual swimming lanes everyone will find the right thing to do to enjoy himself.

The swimming pool in Húsafell is one of the most popular recreations in the area. It was originally built in 1965 but since the pool and its surroundings have been renovated greatly. There are two swimming pools, as well as two hut tubs, along with a water slide.

I feel as though I have had a real Reykjavík experience by going to this swimming pool. Tomorrow we are going to the Blue Lagoon at great expense and I do wonder how it will compare. The member of staff at the desk is clearly used to foreigners and explained all the rules to do with showering to us with a smile. By being so strict about cleanliness Icelanders have pools with very limited chemicals and I really appreciated this during my swim. My daughter and I swam lengths in the very quiet 25 metre pool before moving on to some serious lolling around in various hot pots. The 42+ degrees hot pot was seriously hot whilst the very shallow 8 - 12 degrees hot pot left our legs feeling numb. As a swimming/spaing/relaxing experience this was vastly superior to anything you will find in the UK so lose your inhibitions and strip off in the showers, it will be well worth it.

We visited here on a frigid -5 degree C February day. It was a true cultural experience with mainly local residents. We met several and had a nice conversation. The outside has two older hot pots, at 39 and 42 degrees C. A newer area has a heated lap pool at 33C and two more hot tubs The one for children is less hot and a quite nice big area. There is also a steam room to get boiled in and a ice bath next to the steam room at 10 degrees C. We did not try the ice bath!! There is an indoor lap pool too--but everyone was outside surrounded by the City. Going from a hot pot to another or the steam room was incredibly brisk and incredibly fun. The men's locker room was great--a trip back in time, the woman's was newer. Both were spotlessly clean. The sauna was out of order. Staff was very helpful to first timers explaining the system to us and even calling a cab when we were done two hours later. The best surprise was that there is no admission charge for those 67 years old and older. In very expensive Reykjavik this was a treat. (We are late 60's) Towels cost about 6$ to rent, so bring your own from your hotel. We enjoyed this as much as we would have visiting a much more expensive tourist trap Lagoon of a certain color.This might be the favorite part of our entire trip, highly recommended.
