Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, hotel in Skaftafell

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon offers luxurious accommodation in Hnappavellir. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant and hotel bar.

Nice basic room in a big hotel. Very comfortable room which had large window for the view with small opening window, which allowed fresh air in. Hotel restaurant is quite big, but service was good, there were local food options for dinner, and the breakfast buffet was extensive. Well located near the glaciers etc.

Nónhamar, hotel in Skaftafell

Set in Hof, Nónhamar provides accommodation within 20 km of Svartifoss. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi.

The location is perfect and ideally located close to the glacier, easy access and yet secluded. Clean, functionable and well thought out layout. Owner is very responsive. We enjoyed the use of the terrace and the large windows to watch sunset and spot the northern lights from. Would definitely stay here again.

    stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

    This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views...

    This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

    Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

    A very well run Hotel with friendly staff and everything you could need. We were looking up to the snow capped mountains from our room which was generous in size and good facilities. Breakfast was varied and had some Icelandic dishes which i loved! Didn't eat an evening meal in the Hotel but the DIner over the road which again was very good with a more simpler menu but the food was filling. Gas pumps only took UK Credit card not debit so make sure you've got one spare! I would recommend this hotel.

    This hotel is surrounding by astounding scenery and even has its own secret walking path to view a nearby tongue of Vatnajökull. We grabbed beers at the upstairs bar around sunset after a glacier hike, and it was honestly one of the best beers of my entire life. Had a great conversation with a staff member about the Icelandic language and the breakfast was complete and satisfying.

    The proximity to the glacier…Just 10 minutes walk in the back of the hotel, it was better than the hikes we did in the park. The breakfast was good. Don’t know why previous reviewers complained about! It is. Little bit pricey but for the location it is worth it. I almost didn’t book here after seeing all the reviews . So glad we did! We will definitely stay there again.

    Gorgeous location, great food, friendly staff! And the hotel had a service where it offered to call guests in the night if any northern lights were spotted. Sure enough after we had fallen asleep, we got a wake up call a few hours later to see an incredible aurora display. Can’t say enough good things about this place!

    Staff were all lovely. Hotel is functional, rooms are adequate. Most importantly the showers work! Of course, this is an amazing location for Skaftafell-area adventures, only a 5-minute drive from the visitor centre parking. Restaurant was very high-quality and surprisingly affordable, by Iceland standards.

    The food in the hotel restaurant was excellent and far exceed the expectations I had of a 3* property. The property was a convenient place to stop on a drive from Reykjavik to Hofn and the location was also excellent for the stunning Fagurholsmyri Glacier.

    The location was fantastic. Behind the hotel are some great walks that overlook the glacier. This was worth the stay at the hotel. It was also a basic but functional room. There was a good choice of breakfast options. The beds were comfy.

    it provides basic hotel amenities in the room, but we get to witness aurora here!! you can take a short hike to get to Svinafellsjokull glacier tongue, it was shorter than the one that you should get if you want to see Svinafelsjokull

    The hotel is located right next to the glacier! You can take a short walk to look closer at it (but not to actually walk on it). Our double room was very spacious and clean. The staff at the hotel are helpful and friendly.

    Hotel was well located in the national park with a nice view of the mountains. The room was sufficient for a couple even though it is not very big. You can park near your room so large luggages are not an issue.

    We liked the location, it was close to the glacier and the walk behind the hotel was interesting. It was easy to find. We had a lovely dinner at the gourmet restaurant that night and it was very good.
