8/10 Very good

The staff at the front desk is very friendly. The restaurant at the hotel is an excellent option if you want to stay warm and relax at dinner time. The hotel is clean but needs a few renovations. Definitely recommend the stay. The hotel is in a very remote and quiet location.
Brenda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A good hotel, if quite a ways from any other location with amenities. You'll want a car for pretty much everything in the region.
Leif, 1-night trip

Tiny rooms. Very dusty. Parking was odd, and you had to drag your suitcases through a fine gravel lot (not easy).

Absolutely Gorgeous Hotel

We loved this hotel, and the fact that it was nestled away from everything in the area. We were upgraded to an ocean room on-site, the restaurant, while expense, was delicious, the room was comfortable, and had everything we needed. Breakfast had a variety of options and the staff was friendly, too. Our own downside was that the shower was a bit small and had an all-in-one body wash/shampoo. That wouldn't stop us from staying again; we'd just bring our own next time. Out of all of the hotels on our 10-day trip, this one is definitely in our top 3 favorites.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was quite small and was lacking any type of non-basic amenities. The bathroom was very old and small. The restaurant was quite expensive, not much choice and rather mediocre food
Martin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My spouse and I booked the Fosshotel Hellnar as a stop on our Iceland road trip. It ended up being the perfect location to stop after 1 day travel from Reykjavik and partway around the Snaefellsnes peninsula. We were cold and tired by that point and the Fosshotel was so comfortable on our arrival. The fireplace in the lobby was very inviting. The room was spacious, comfortable and the heated bathroom floor tiles were such an appreciated luxury to us that day. We enjoyed dinner at the hotel restaurant as well as their breakfast buffet. All of the food was delicious. The prices were shocking to us in Canadian dollars but we got used to that in Iceland after a while. For the large portions and great quality, the prices were comparatively fair. The hotel didn't have some of the amenities that we had in other stays during our trip but the location was beautiful. We had a gorgeous view of the glacier from our room before rain and fog settled in low for the evening.
Candice, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was excellent. They rushed the cleaning of room to accommodate the lack of sleep we were experiencing. Not disabled friendly. No ramps and parking lot gravel. Cannot use cane in gravel, fear of falling. No space to move on either side of bed. Had to hold wall to squish thru.
Sylvia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the most beautiful hotel that have stayed in. Love it for the hospitality and views are breathtaking especially the sea+morning sunrise. Receptionists were very helpful and friendly - they knocked on our door to let us know on the aurora sighting as was awaiting it. Recommend to stay 2 nights or more as our 1 night was too short. Breakfast was lovely & night having a cold Iceland beer was great! Thank you so much for the experience & warm welcome!

Location is amazing, great view, nice deck, however the walls are quite thin. I could hear the people in the room next to me rustle the sheets, no exaggeration. That’s my only complaint.
