We have stayed at this hotel before and we were not disappointed with our stay. Lovely hotel and food in the restaurant was very good.

Jackie United Kingdom

The style of the hotel is really Scandinavian. Black interiors mixed with wooden touches - think it works perfectly in Iceland. Our room has probably the tallest ceiling I've ever seen in a hotel. The room itself was cosy, but bit small. In Iceland most people stay in cottages and guesthouses, so hotel room might look tiny in comparison. Bathroom, on the other hand, was one of the nicest I've experienced in any hotel. Staff were really nice. Mountain view from the window is incredible - our room also had a cushioned windowsill so could take some cool pics there :)

Peter Slovakia

Accommodation in the hotel was embarrassing for me. Checkin, restaurant, common areas were very nice but a negative surprise was the room. The opinion of the hotel was improved by the amazing staff. The drink list is top.

Milan Slovakia

The most amazing hotel in this part of Iceland, the rooms are extremely stylish and comfortable, and the window to oversee the valley is amazing. The food at the restaurant was delicious and all of the staff were polite and helpful.

Dmytro Ukraine

its A luxery hotel, the only one in the area so I think thats why they are A bit overpriced. but the staff is friendly and breakfast was very good!

Sana Belgium

amazing venue and super kind service. we enjoyed the comfortable room, nice location, very good restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. cherry on top: sauna and hot tub available until 11 pm made our stay very relaxing

Cristian Italy

This a fabulous hotel that is so close to the lagoon and tours that exceeded our expectations!! The views are outstanding and the food was exceptional! We really enjoyed dinner and the staff were so lovely and helpful! I would highly recommend!

Natasha Ireland

Spacious, stylish, ocean view, with all needed necessities.

Mykhailo Ukraine

They had a good restaurant in the hotel, which is great because you can't find anything else within at least 30min drive; the price for food is rather expensive but normal for Iceland standard. We stayed two nights there for the glacier and national park tours, it's the most ideal location for a hotel to stay in the area.

  • Hi, I've seen in recent reviews that there is currently construction work in the hotel for some sort of renovation/expansion. We are looking to visit this area and interested in booking a suite at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon for the night of Nov 28th this year. Could you confirm whether 1) the construction work will still be progressing during our stay at the hotel? 2) whether the suite will face the or have any visibility of the construction work (if it will still be progressing). Thanks, May

    Dear guest. We are currently expanding our parking lot and doing touch up of the landscape and painting the outer layer of the building, in addition to our sauna being remodelled. The effect is minimal in the guest wings. The view from the room is subject to availability upon arrival. Best regards, Fosshótel Glacier Lagoon.

  • Hi there, we (2 persons) are looking to book some local tours nearby, say a Glacier hike in Skaftafell in late December. However, we will be relying on public transports. May I ask could any pick up service be arranged to the tour spots if I stay in your hotel? as i hope to save more transport time by staying a hotel in the south. Please advise. Many thanks.

    Dear guest. We do not offer shuttle services as our guests all come with private transports. We advise contacting Taxi Höfn directly to have this organised. Best regards, Fosshótel Glacier Lagoon
