Fosshotel Skaftafell  

Panorama-Bar

Wunderschöne Lage Nähe Wasserfall, freundliche, hilfsbereite Leute, ruhige Lage, reizvolle Umgebung, Natur, geräumige, saubere Zimmer (Zimmer hatten wir Anbau vor dem Haupthaus an der Campingwiese)

Restaurant war gut wenn auch nur 4 oder 5 Sachen zur Auswahl, Früfstücksbuffet war ok.

Zimmer absolut katastrophal, mit Abstand das schlechteste auf unserer Rundreise in Island, und zudem noch das teuerste ! Grösse etwa 2.5x3 Meter, Nachttisch baufällig, 3 Löcher in der Verkleidung des Bettes, Heizung im Bad verrrostet, 2 Löcher in der Tür vom Badezimmer. 2 Einzelbetten für Kleinwüchsige ! Auch auf Anfrage vor Ort absolut keine änderung möglich.

Lage

Zimmer eher funktional, Essen im Restaurant enttäuschend

Hotel wurde wegen der Nähe zum Jökulsárlón (52 Kilometer) gebucht. Waren drei Nächte dort. Zimmer waren ausgebaute Container - erst mal erschreckend, aber zweckmäßig. Nicht viel Platz - zu zweit wäre es mir zu eng darin gewesen. Essen sehr lecker, wenn auch die Auswahl mit 4 Hauptgerichten etwas "klein" ausfällt. Der Preis ist für die Ausstattung recht hoch, aber mangels Alternativen im Skaftafell-Park bleibt einem nur das Hotel.

Extra fee for internet

Location is very nice.

There was no enough hot water for two people in a double room. The lackness of hot water did not dipend on a temporary breakdown, but was structural and reception did not advice about this fact. This is not acceptable. Wifi is only in the reception and is not free. Considering the high price, this is not acceptable too.

I didn't get any hot water from the shower. The staff said that it was our electricity problem and happens sometimes. Finally he said that we couldn't help me.The person who checks this hotel must keep that in your mind.

I set off the fire alarm in the breakfast room by accident and the staff were exceptionally friendly and kind about it! Jimmy on reception also gave us brilliant directions to Fvartifoss. Thanks very much for your help.

It is in a fabulous location with good acdcess to the national park. The food was very good.

Although the food was very good we would have liked more choice for the main course witha variety of price options.

The hotel has great location- only 3 km from skaftafell visitor center and 1 km from the biggest glacier in europe. The views from the hotel are outstanding. mountains, falls, glaciers,rivers,birds... However, the hotel is a monopol(there are no many other hotels/motels in the area) and as a result - its very pricey. The dinner there is absolutly over - priced, at least 35 euros for a very humble and small dinner, I recommend eating in Vik or Hofn if you want good resturants or any gas station if you like fast food. The Breakfast was rich and tasty!

The high price of the hotel and the super over - priced resturant.

Well located.
