Lock in a great price for Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Buffet breakfast was fantastic. Best quality breakfast we had on our trip (when staying in hotels). We really enjoyed relaxing in the lounge area after a long day of exploring and site seeing. It's a really cool hotel, the design is fantastic.

Christina, Ireland

Room was quiet with large window for viewing! Restaurant had outstanding dinners at @ $50 each!

Francis, United States of America

The beds were extremely comfortable and loved having the wool blankets to cozy up in. All in all, a welcome place to rest after a long day at the glacier! There was construction at the hotel so they offered free coffee/tea and cake in the lobby, which was delicious. We never actually heard any construction or found it disruptive. They also do an aurora wake up call, which was a nice perk!

Debbie, United States of America

Restaurant staff food and environment were amazing

Frederick, United States of America

Super friendly staff, amazing beds and huge bathroom. All was clean and beautifully decorated. The location is amazing and the staff can wake you up to see the aurora if you wish!

Julieta, United States of America

Tall ceiling and a little desktop fan is provided. 2 room cards were provided and best of it was the building has a lift to the 2nd floor. Breakfast buffet was good

Alfred, Singapore

Very remote and quiet hotel, yet cozy and accommodating. The restaurant was great (there were no others for miles, so we were happy the food was quality and not outrageously priced), and the sauna/spa area was an added treat. Close to glacier lagoon and tours. It was nice to get away from the city for a few days. Although the auroral activity was low and we didn't get to see the northern lights, this would have been a great place to do it!

Lisa, United States of America

Awesome location, especially if you are doing an ice cave tour and don’t want to drive all the way back to Vik. It’s the only hotel in the area, they take advantage of that by charging quite a bit for food but so does everywhere else. This place did have a happy hour though so that was awesome! I enjoyed the bar snacks and the dessert from the main restaurant the best! The rooms were a really cool design.

Laura, United States of America

Able to see the Aurora finally! Awesome restaurant. Had great weather and close to glacier and ice caves for planned excursions. Would definitely recommend staying here rather than going to activities from Reykjavik. Best part of our trip to Iceland!

Debra, United States of America

Very clean, comfortable and modern. Restaurant was great and the food was delicious. Pick up supplies on your way as there are no close grocery stores.

The place was too expensive compared to everywhere else, we stayed. They didnt offer much exclusive - just a standard room and Thats it. Actually I cant See what I payed a high price for. There was Constructions Going on near my room from 0700-2030. Not a plesant surprise and I dont Think you Should pay full price for that experience.
The staff was so kind and the food was great!!! I liked the scenary around the hotel (tho not the construction) and the hotel was very clean and spacious. :-)

Expensive, noise-whistle coming from the heater during the night was impossible to fix even if we set the heating to zero. Disturbing during the night.

Not the hotels fault that we were stuck here due to weather and closed roads for 2 days! But there is nothing to do and that is the hotels fault! Only a small sauna! No games, no activities except the bar they kept suggesting! Not everyone likes to drink! Had to change rooms after attempting a shower since the drain didn't work properly and flooded the room! No help with moving and when we asked, we were told there are no luggage racks! Found out the next day, there is 1 rack, but must have been in someone's room! Very inconvenient! No customer service! Everything you read about Iceland tells the tourist that it is a credit card country and no need for cash! Well, when we ate dinner in the restaurant and paid, the receipt has a place for a tip, but was informed a tip cannot be put on the bill! Only cash tip! So the servers are being ripped off by this policy since many tourists do not carry cash!!
Room was quiet with large window for viewing! Restaurant had outstanding dinners at @ $50 each!

Nothing.
Beautiful location; staff fantastic - southern Iceland hit with a huge storm which shut roads, damaged cars etc, and the staff helped with car repairs, put on xmas movies in the conference room, and generally went out of their way to look after trapped guests. Rooms lovely, not huge but very comfortable, bathroom with a big shower which was very nice. Breakfast was fantastic! Can’t wait to stay here again!

“Comfortable, but needs refinement for the price.”

There was a sauna, but a hot tub and pool would have fitted better with the quality and price of the hotel. The restaurant was expensive as everywhere in Iceland, and while the food was good, the portions were so big that I was unable to finish my main and only had 2 mouthfuls of dessert. They tried to give me a glass of white wine from bottle that was only a quarter full and opened from the day before without vacuum. I had to ask for a fresh bottle to be opened. There was a fan in the room which stopped and started all night long, a common problem in modern hotels.
Modern style of hotel with friendly, helpful staff and great location.
