Guest Reviews
- S1976ETjenniferf (10/5): Beautiful hotel in glacier lagoon area - The hotel is the perfect choice for exploring the area. It is very modern and was decorated beautifully for the holidays. We were in awe of the glacier lagoon and had an amazing experience exploring the ice caves. The breakfast at the hotel was excellent and fueled us for a day of exploring. We enjoyed food from the bar, but the restaurant menu was a little too fancy for our teenage boys. We did pack a carry on of snacks as food is very expensive.
- 739c_linea (10/5): Absolutely unforgettable - Perfect Comfortable, clean, beautiful and decorated with high taste ! The bar and restaurant are amazing Breakfast is really good with a lot of variety
- enrichettaw (10/5): Elegant stay with thoughtful amenities - Stunning location, gorgeous hotel, and truly delicious food and drinks! The breakfast is a fantastic option for a nourishing, health-conscious start to the day. The gym is compact but well-equipped with all the essentials. Guests can also enjoy a dry sauna, two small pools, and two loungers for relaxing.
- aurorebW1684RO (10/5): Best northern light experience of our trip - The hotel was great — super nice staff, friendly yet really professional. We actually had our best northern lights moment of the whole trip thanks to the amazing window in our room. And the sunrise? Even better. The view from the breakfast room was honestly breathtaking. Food and cocktails were such a good surprise too — a refined mix that really highlights Icelandic culture and cuisine, all in a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. And the spa… absolutely perfect after a long day exploring
- olivera618 (10/5): Perfect place to visit the south coast - We chose this place for our trip to the Icelandic south coast in November/December 25 because it is kind of isolated (better chance to see the northern lights) and still a short drive to/from Vik and also to Jökulsárlón. The staff is super friendly, the rooms are not too big but nice And clean and cozy. We very, very strong winds during our two nights stay so it was a bit noisy during the night but I mean it’s Iceland in Winter what do you expect? The view from our room was amazing, Having a sauna that you can use with hot tubs outside is a plus. They have a nice bar and the restaurant is pretty good.
- Sanni3103 (10/5): We enjoyed our stay! - It's a very nice hotel, i will come back again! Very friendly staff, clean, big rooms! Free parking. We stayed here for 2 nights, had a nice view. Looking out of the windows near the bed we could see some northern lights..
- JenC1977 (8/5): Beautiful - The hotel was very pretty. The room was spacious and clean and very comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good, but the dinner menu was just OK. The hot tub was very relaxing minus the extreme wind that was blowing in.
- kk7722017 (10/5): Great spot to stay - Beautiful hotel. stayed w family (2 small kids two adults) & had plenty of room. Food was delicious. Great small gym , hot tubs and sauna. Highly recommend if you’re looking for close place to stay near Jökulsárlon .
- Happiness60304505292 (6/5): Average hotel; priced like a luxury hotel - This was a nice enough hotel. It had OK mattresses, several hot tubs, and a pretty good view. That said, it was far from the upscale that most Americans would expect for a hotel that is well over $500 per room per night in the middle of nowhere
- tomsJ5524HU (10/5): Best hotel experience ever - Incredible location, room and facilities. The friendliest, most helpful staff and an exceptionally great restaurant. Best hotel experience ever
- StAlban123 (8/5): Good for the glacier lagoon (20 min drive away). Not much else around so captive market - Not as nice as Myvatn Fosshotel and certainly much, much busier. This hotel was a good in terms of where it is located and after driving for hours it was a welcome stop. The beds int his hotel are really funny though. Their toppers are so huge that you fall off the bed.
- 421trevort (6/5): Attitude Food Disappointing - Location, rooms furnishings stylish. No light to see how to operate coffee machine ridiculous. Breakfast v good. Bar menu was served without separating courses and so it all arrived at once hot and cold food. Dinner was minimal affair £75 for one chicken breast a rosti of potato not roast potatoes, smothered in bacon source cos they were out of gas to make foam. On another bed of parsnip puree. Why take a perfectly good chicken breast and mess with it ? This is not fine dining it’s designer dining!!!. But the most infuriating thing was and been asked it with other guests behind was did we want a double bed? !!! This is 2025 in what is supposed to be liberal Iceland!!. I wonder if the receptionist would like asking is this your boyfriend or husband and will u be sleeping together??!!! The ultimate was the butter served on a rocking pebble with volcanic salt -a designer gone mad. V disappointing .
- sigurdurgunnarr (10/5): Nature, location and wonderful hotel - Excellent location. Friendly staff and the hotel warm and cosy with excellent restaurant, and nice spa included in the stay
- Pioneer25644344798 (8/5): Great location - Great location, near the Diamond beach and "remote" enough so we can feel unique when seeing the auroras. Impecable cleaning.
- kathymH4154HM (10/5): Lovely hotel would recommend - Lovely hotel, woodsy vibe. Nice hot tubs out back. Bit of a weird setup as you are walking past the restaurant in tone and slippers to get to the spa/hot tubs. Nice bar area. Aurora wake up calls were perfect as we got to see the lights a second time on our visit. Right in front of the hotel.. Had more room amenities than other same cost hotels we stayed in. Location is very remote so there is no place to get food aside from the hotel. So eat before if you don’t want to eat there. English breakfast available but was not particularly hot. Room on the small side but not too bad. Very close to the glacier lagoon and diamond beach which are awesome and a must see.
- bryanhS5961ED (10/5): October Iceland trip - Hotel was excellent, complimentary breakfast, courteous staff, room was clean and well appointed. Sauna was great with robes and slippers in the room. 5 stars!
- 286sanjays (10/5): Anniversary Celebration to Remember for Life time! - We had a difficult time during the checking -in on 8 th October & we’re not happy with the room allocated to us, but GM Hrafnhildur, was very helpful and supportive and sorted the issue smoothly and even was helpful to celebrate our Anniversary in the manner which we will remember for lifetime.
- Howard (10/5): - Northern Lights wake up call was the best. Got the call and 2 am and saw the ights right over the hotel which was big reason for coming to Iceland. Staff was great!
- Dawei (10/5): - Cozy room with fantastic view. There is hot Tub and sauna Area for free use, a good please to relax during trip.
- JUSTIN (10/5): - Best place to stay near glacier lagoon and diamond beach
- Eric (10/5): - Lovely hotel, clean room with nice view. Hotel close to Vatnajokull National Park and glacier. Very nice restaurant and separate Bar.
- Eudes (10/5): - A
- Amber (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly and the location was ideal. We would stay here again!
- ajessen001 (10/5): Exceptional staff!! - We stayed for 2 nights on our trip to Iceland and had the best experience here during our whole trip. Our road trip was disrupted due to a ring road closure and the staff at the hotel were exceptional in helping us change our plans to stay an extra night and cancel a reservation that we would not be able to make it to. We ate at the bar twice and the food and staff were exceptional. I also love that they did a northern lights wake up call. There is nothing like being woken up to a beautiful aurora you can see from your room window!
- jay (10/5): - Great experience after a day of cold wet exploring Iceland. Exactly what we needed
- Leo (8/5): - Dinner was disappointing. Salmon entree not prepared well and didn’t taste or smell fresh. Very expensive too.
- Jeunelle (10/5): - Amazing view, and beautiful room. The food at the restaurant was excellent. Loved my stay.
- Escape30272597730 (10/5): Pleasant surprise - We booked this hotel at the last moment and weren’t sure what to expect – it was absolutely lovely and a wonderful experience. The location is beautiful, the rooms are very cool, and the breakfast buffet was absolutely amazing!
- RustedSpear688 (10/5): Magical family escape near the ice - Cozy rooms, warm staff, and jaw-dropping views of glaciers and black sand beaches. The kids loved the open spaces and spotting Arctic terns. Perfect base for family adventures—clean, comfortable, and full of Icelandic charm. Highly recommend for nature-loving families!
- 845tedib (10/5): Top notch hotel and service - Outstanding experience. The staff were extremely hospitable, the amenities top notch with an amazing restaurant, sauna and hot tub. The one funny part was we met Andrei from Romania who was so great but had to be “reminded” of the euro pop stars Ina and Alexandra Stan. We thank him for outstanding service and conversation.
- Philip (10/5): - Excellent place to stay.
- Ma.Jesusa (10/5): - Good room
- Laurie (10/5): - Wow! This hotel was so aesthetically pleasing from the reception desk to the restaurant, rooms and spa area mirroring the landscape outside. Coffee, tea and bathroom extras such as makeup remover cloths. We were able to check in early and enjoy the hot tub and then wrap ourselves in thick terry robes and slippers. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was also delicious with several menu items different from all the lamb and arctic char on others in Iceland. Yes, the price point was a little higher but a nice splurge on the south coast.
- Brianna (8/5): - Nice hotel, well kept and helpful staff. The restaurant on site is excellent, tho the drinks are very pricey. We did have an issue with our room smelling aweful, but the front desk addressed it quickly and gave us another room.
- Katie (10/5): - Nice bartenders at the bar. Staff were so sweet and kind. They had a plate of goodies and a handwritten anniversary note for us in the room when we arrived!
- Rajeeta (6/5): - It was close to Glacier lagoon. Very expensive food
- 04101andbeyond (10/5): Worth the splurge - So grateful for the northern lights wake up call, allowed us to see them two nights in a row. Hotel staff was incredibly sweet, best breakfast of our trip
- Kathryn (10/5): - Staff was excellent. Wonderful breakfast buffet!
- Tin (10/5): - We loved how serene it was. Using the hot tub under the stars was a nice way to end the day.
- Kyle (10/5): - Booked this hotel because we were doing some sight seeing in the south east of Iceland. This location was quite close to Diamond Beach. It was very nice. The room upgrade to an ocean view room was amazing. Breakfast included was very good with lots of options. We had stayed at a hotel in Reykjavik throughout the rest of the week, but wish we could have stayed at this one longer, very nice. Hot tub was very relaxing and the front desk also offered a wake up call for if there were Northern Lights. Highly recommend staying here if you're heading that side of Iceland.
- sherf (10/5): Great Stay at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon - Great hotel and location near Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. The rooms are nice and the restaurant is very good. A great place to stay after exploring Iceland during the day.
- 74juliannar (10/5): Wonderful stay! - The hotel is modern and very beautifully designed. The room was spacious with very comfortable beds and had a lot of additional seating. The staff were lovely and the other amenities in the hotel were wonderful, especially the spa. The breakfast buffet is well worth the price. The only thing I wish the hotel would offer is a more casual, less pricey dining option for dinner. They had a few premade sandwiches available near the front desk but it would be nice if the bar had a simple sandwich or burger offering for those not trying to spend so much especially as the area has very limited food options.
- Aubree (10/5): - Amazing stay. Love that the spa was open until midnight since we arrived late. The food and service were excellent.
- Lisa (10/5): - Heading to the glaciers? Stop here for a stay! Sights nearby, the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon, the Diamond Beach, and Skaftafell within Vatnajökull National Park!!
- djmccord (6/5): Not what we were expecting... - The hotel is located in a nice area. The room was suitable, but for the price we paid we expected more. The staff in the front lobby weren't very welcoming. We had high expectations for this hotel but feel a bit let down.
- Lily (10/5): Relax - Amazing GYM
- jodyg451 (8/5): Only nice option in the area - We came here with adult children in September. As others have mentioned, there isn't any other hotel like this in the area. Our travel agent booked it for us. It is a busy hotel because of the location and because it's in the middle of nowhere, you have to eat at the hotel. The staff in the restaurant seemed a little stressed out at times. It is nice that you can have a meal in the bar area which has cool decor and good atmosphere. The rooms are just ok and the bathrooms are very small. The carpet and bathrooms could use a refresh. We stayed at 3 different hotels in Iceland and this was our least favorite and had the weakest breakfast. There is a sauna and hot tub which we did use. Prices of the food are high, but that is typical for Iceland. I would recommend others stay here knowing there is no other options if you want to be near the glacier.
- Annette (10/5): - We were having fun all day - fjaorargljufiur then to a Skaftafellsvegur glacier hike. We were hunger and tired and this hotel was on the journey but feeling like the middle of nowhere! Beautiful room amenities (Icelandic wool blankets for each bed!) and a fabulous meal. Wish we had more time to enjoy the hotel and all it had to offer. We arrived late in the evening and left early. But very welcoming and relaxing nonetheless.
- Angelito John (10/5): - Rooms were nice
- Tamar (10/5): - The hotel is located in Vik, a very cute town in southern Iceland close to Diamonds beach. We had dinner at the hotel, which was excellent. The staff at the hotel was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel offers two hiking trails which we enjoyed walking. We had dinner at the hotel - excellent food and great service.
- Mark (4/5): - This is the only choice near the glacial lagoon. Service is curt. Restaurant dinner is very pricy and mediocre. Breakfast buffet was highlight
- Jack (10/5): - Very nice hotel in a great location. Diamond Beach and the starting points for glacier tours are so close.
- Hyla (10/5): - Beautiful hotel with relaxing vibe. Great location when visiting Glacier Lagoon. Quiet rooms. Great service and excellent food in restaurant. Thank you Andre’ for making our dinners special.
- lizhus (10/5): Great Decor for Honeymoon - We booked the suite for our honeymoon and wedding pictures photoshoot! The lava lights and the view outside the window is impeccable. Lobby lights and just the hallways are really pretty. Breakfast is good! Restaurant is also great
- Gary (10/5): - This was my third time staying here and it never disappoints. The rooms are great sized, clean and modern. The onsite restaurant is fantastic and its location is great to see some great sites on the south coast.
- Alice (10/5): - Property driving distance to glacier lagoon
- steffenmJ6368FF (10/5): Oasis to relax after long trips - Perfect location to visit Jökulsárlón. After a long day it is great to just go into the hot tub. We've visited with two small children (2 and 4) and they've loved it
- Jeffrey (10/5): - Top notch stay. Clean, classy, perfect. Comfy beds, great service. Best stay in Iceland.
- rbthodge (10/5): WONDERFUL SPOT TO STAY - Beautiful hotel, but literally in the middle of nowhere. Gorgeous hot tubs/spa overlooking the landscape and the ring road. Nice sauna. Great restaurant (reservations a good idea as most clients will eat here - next place to eat is a long drive). Rooms are simple. Breakfast large and varied. If you are going to Jokulsarlon, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend.
- SWATI (10/5): - It was perfect & comfortable . Room was clean&food was very good & view was so georgus .
- Dhrupad (10/5): - Very nice and modern hotel practically in the middle of nowhere. Great for a one night stay if you're visiting Jokusarlon or driving along the ring road. Plenty of parking. There are several EV chargers as well, however you need your own Level 2 cable to use the charger. Staff service was excellent and helpful to our needs. Only con is dining options are limited in the area; the only food establishment we found nearby outside the hotel is a nice cafe about 3km drive away, but it is only open for breakfast and lunch. The hotel restaurant is very busy and requires reservations, while the bar has a very limited food menu.
- Thomas (8/5): - Location excellent, bed comfortable and staff friendly and veey supportive in helping resolve issues. Amenities in room weak, poor lighting and limited ourlets.
- Ewf173 (10/5): Luxury in the Middle of Not Much - Very posh hotel, remote and yet within easy driving distance of many sights. Easy parking, easy check in, great communication. Large windows allowed for a very enjoyable view of the fields and ocean, and the sheep that wandered by. Beautiful breakfast buffet with great offerings and great variety. I’m glad we had an ocean view room. I suspect some of the mountain view rooms face the parking lot - and while the mountains behind are gorgeous, I was happy to have a more rustic and unimpeded view. I have recommended to friends as a great place to stay. We were here for three nights.
- Nina (10/5): - Wonderful hotel with great hospitality and spa
- Arnold (10/5): - Great breakfast.
- Rox (10/5): - Beautiful hotel in the middle of nowhere. Perfect and close to visit Dimond Beach and Glacier Lagoon also
- annewJ123GM (10/5): Glacier Hotel off the Ring Road - Great hotel in a perfect location near Diamond Beach and several glaciers on the ring road. Hotel restaurant and happy hour were perfect. Large hot tubs and a sauna were included in the stay.
- Shane (10/5): Great restaurant - We loved this hotel - the service the room the ambience and the restaurant were all fabulous We had a fabulous Greek server in the restaurant who was very good at his job Would highly recommend staying here
- Todd (10/5): - We had a great stay.
- charlottebU6295DY (10/5): Favourite hotel - This was our favourite place that we stayed in Iceland. Room was lovely, spacious and clean with good views. Bed was comfy. We enjoyed making use of the spa as well, and the complimentary robe and slippers. Great location for exploring the nearby glaciers.
- Nisha (10/5): - Food and staff
- Megan (10/5): - Gorgeous property. Backs up to mountains and a waterfall. This was the most comfortable bed during our trip. We spent some time in the hot tub which was outdoors and felt glorious. The food was not as good as other reviewers described and we were disappointed with. Overall though it was a wonderful stay and we would stay again.
- Thomas (10/5): - Property was beautiful. There is a picturesque waterfall just behind the building. Had some hiking trails there as well. Room was clean and modern and nicely furnished. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. We had dinner there one night and the food was fabulous. Staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The property was convenient for our trip to Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon as well.
- Leah (10/5): - Service was very slow and sofa bed was not very comfy. Hotel is gorgeous and well appointed though!
- Nathan (10/5): - U
- Mark (10/5): - Have stayed here a few times over the years. Restaurant is great, but advise to book in advance. Location good. Staff very helpful
- Beth (10/5): - Excellent hotel but not really on Glacier Lagoon
- Susan (10/5): - Beautiful luxury hotel. Highly recommend staying here.
- Dmitri (10/5): - Comfortable and cozy hotel between two major landmarks. Great (but pricey) restaurant with delicious Icelandic traditional dishes.
- Nancy (8/5): - Lovely restaurant and bar. Well trained staff. Good internet.
- Henry (8/5): - Nice location and view, a bit steep in price for this level of hotel.
- Launa (8/5): - The hotel is beautiful and the staff is friendly. However, I do not recommend staying on floor 0 (I was in room 031). I felt like I was on the staff floor of the Titanic! I was in the hallway with staff doors, and on the floor with the sauna. The rooms are most definitely NOT sound proof. At all. And the doors—at least on floor 0–slam. Very very loudly. Which I could hear. Frequently. So I stuck in my headphones and called it an early night! The food there IS amazing and the hotel is beautiful. The hike to the waterfall near the hotel is very technical, so I had a beautiful waterfall all to myself! It was amazing. Just do not stay on floor 0.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - By far the best property we stayed at in south Iceland. Great variant quality at breakfast, nice ( but expensive) restaurant for dinner
- tom (10/5): - View over looking the ocean with sheep grazing just outside our room was majestic. Spacious room, very charming. We will be back.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Stay here! - We stayed in 5 different hotels in Iceland and this was by far our favorite. Great facilities, lovely service, great dinner and breakfast buffet. We loved the heated soaking tub/spa area. What a treat!
- Olena (10/5): - Restaurant and spa were really great!
- Douglas (6/5): - Hotel common areas are nice enough— couple of large hot tubs outside, a sauna, tiny gym and very nice bar lounge. The included breakfast is good. The room we had was very small and basic for $500 per night. Food and drink expensive even by Iceland standards. The hotel is not super close to anything (about 15 miles or so to glacier lagoon for example). I expected more and usually get it for these prices even in Iceland.
- Bret (10/5): - A lovely hotel 🏨. Expensive but worth it. Expedia VIP property gave us a room upgrade and free drinks.
- Sasha (10/5): Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon - Wonderful stay at Fosshotel. So comfortable, great breakfast and dinner. Plus close proximity to so many great areas and attractions.
- Vishal (10/5): - Unique, beautiful, modern. Great breakfast spread. Exquisite hot tub experience.
- Roman (10/5): - Nice, modern hotel. Better than other fosshotels we stayed in.
- deborahvE2155IK (10/5): Hotel Went Above & Beyond - Highly recommend this hotel! Alina, the Reception Mgr., & her staff, Ewelina & Renata, went above & beyond to accommodate a difficult booking situation (our fault, not theirs). Excellent service/food in the restaurant as well. Exceeded expectations at every level.
- KTDNeath (10/5): Fabulous - We had a fabulous stay at this remote hotel. Loved the outstanding views, very comfortable rooms and delicious food. Although,the sauna was unavailable due to renovations we thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing hot tubs. Can highly recommend.
- Robert (10/5): - Amazing facilities and breakfast
- Paul (4/5): - We splurged on the $1000 suite but shower drain was clogged so water got all over the floor. The outdoor hot tub needed to be fully drained and refilled to use as it was cold upon arrival. Lock on door to room needed to be slammed extremely hard in order for it to close otherwise an annoying alarm would sound . Also hotel sauna was broken
- 260rikkih (10/5): Modern comfort in the Icelandic Wilds - We stayed here on our trip along the south coast. The hotel felt very modern and was a comfortable base for exploring the nearby glacier lagoon. It's quite remote, which is part of its charm. A solid, stylish choice for a night or two while road-tripping.
- 357carlyj (10/5): Beautiful hotel in a wonderful place - Amazing hotel in a great location for visiting the glacier lagoon. We stayed in a standard room which was of a really decent size with a super comfortable bed. The bathroom was great with a waterfall shower and comfy robes. I wish we had stayed for longer and I would definitely stay there again.
- Srini (10/5): - Staff very uptight and not accommodating. Property is great in the middle of no where. But expensive. Great views from the rooms. Rooms and amenities are great. Location wise just off the main highway. Food is expensive as hell, but good choices and tasted very good. Great quality Coming with high prices. If you like fine dining with great food, this is the place to stay and eat. Enjoy.
- Heather (10/5): - The best hotel in Iceland!!!My family of four enjoyed this hotel and its amenities very much. This was an excellent place to stay after an eight hour hike on a glacier. It’s very close to the glaciers, glacier lagoon, and diamond beach. The rooms for spacious, the beds were very comfortable with nice linens, a well appointed bathroom, etc. The spa area was very relaxing and spotless. The free breakfast buffet the next morning was by far the best we’ve had while in the country. It’s a little pricy, BUT everything is in Iceland. After staying there, it’s worth every penny.
- Iana (10/5): - Awesome modern hotel, with great views, amazing restaurant onsite and cool warerfall within 10 mins walk!!
