10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful setting with exceptional staff

We arrived late (10:00) and had a quick check-in. Parking was tight, but we found a spot. Room was comfortable and clean; access to the outdoors by sliding door was a fantastic plus. The highlight of the stay were the staff, however. We sat for a couple hours and chatted with the bartender (Polish fellow whose name I've forgotten) and receptionist (Mika), both of who were charming and just lovely people. Those are the kinds of experiences that make international travel memorable.

The hotel was clean, quiet and had easy parking.
Donna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel to stay at especially with the glacier view in the distance. My qualm is I think the hotel is due for renovation - seems older with old carpets and bathroom tile grout. Stayed at another Foss hotel on a previous trip and that one was way newer and cleaner. Other qualm is I think they forgot to add bedsheets. We were too tired to ask for them and just slept. But staff are amazing, welcoming and respectful - it’s why we know Foss Hotel is one of Iceland’s best hotel companies in Iceland.

Nice and clean hotel. Friendly staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Easy access from the main highway, great views of surrounding countryside, ample and tasty breakfast buffet. If you're exploring this area, the FossHotel Vatnajokull is a good choice. The rooms are spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed.

Excellent!

Amazing hotel! The setting is excellent overlooking the glaciers, and the restaurant/bar area have a nice feel to them. Food was good also and staff were very helpful

Great hotel

Lovely location overlooking the mountains and also glimpses of the glaciers from the room we got Room was really good sized and had all amenities needed Property in clean condition although the electric car charger wasn’t functional and the staff had no information about it Breakfast spread was decent, although have seen better options Parking plenty but the hotel is slightly outside the town of Hofn

Large corner room with living room, windows everywhere, heated bayhroom floor, great enclosed shower, separate toilet room.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel

This is a hotel just off the ring road a little distance away from Höfn, the hotel itself was nice in a quiet location and a good place as a stopover. Rooms were spacious and comfortable … although very expensive for one night with no breakfast included

Fatimah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice place to see the aurora, and the accommodation is excellent with a tub for bathing. The only downside is that the lights on the bathtub keep flashing, so I had to turn them off.
Lewis, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

500 euro a day there should be coffee in lobby and breakfast included
Debra, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff. Some construction in adjacent rooms was not ideal, made a lot of noise am.
AFTAB, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a good hotel to stay at but the food was way overpriced. The layout of the room was unique. The shoer was in a sperate room from the toilet and sink, which helped 2 people get ready at once. I liked that part.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is definitely a 5 Star Plus! Our corner room was superior, large and so fresh and clean and what a view! The staff at the front desk were so friendly as well as everyone else… dinner and breakfast staff! Complements to the chef, excellent dinner with a star presentation! To top off our perfect stay …we were able to see the Northern Lights!
PATRICK, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great breakfast included, clean and comfortable room. Did get quite warm but it was manageable. Beautiful surrounding scenery, about a 10 min drive into town. Staff was incredible helpful, went over and above and were super pleasant.
