This was our first Iceland pool experience- so take this review with that in mind. We came here the day after the Reykjavik Marathon. Spacious, clean, the showers are like any other Iceland pool - shower naked before you go in - but you gotta do what you gotta do to enjoy the pool and hot tubs! Large heated swimming pool, and several hot tons of various hot temperatures, and 1 cold dip tub. Steam room and sauna. Nice place for a sunset. They do have the contraption that sicks out most of the moisture from a wet bathing suit. Extra point for what we are convinced was an Icelandic celebrity signing... but we didn't want to be rude and stare. Not bad for a $9 entry!

We were told that these outdoor pools are very traditional for the Icelandic. Our local guide said she goes here at least 4 times a week and once saw the whole Game of Thrones cast here. The entrance is a bit bellow 1000 and you can rent towels for 580. We didn't bring any with us so that was comfortable. It is best if you bring poolside shoes with you because my feet got really cold while I was walking from the changing rooms to the warm pool. There are pools with different temperature, one for kids with a slide and even toys, different hot tubs and a sauna. So much cheaper than the blue lagoon and so much more authentic.
