Hotel Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

Hnappavellir, 785 Hnappavellir, Iceland –

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

to get started.

A new warm modern oasis in the barren landscape and a timely rest stop on the ring road. Given how expensive accomodation and food generally goes for in Iceland, this place represents outstanding value for both accomodation and food. My wife and I were blown away by the quality and quantity of the mains dishes. The Bass and King Crab dish and Salmon dishes we had were the culinary highlight for us in Iceland. Post pictures soon. Breakfast overlooks a picturesque village on the foothills of snow capped mountains reminiscent of the Swiss alps.

Kyung, Australia

It was a luxury retreat in the middle of nowhere. It was clean and very well designed.

Joanne, Canada

Clean and modern, dinner at the restaurant was fabulous

Shelby, United States of America

Good location for southeast adventures. Very easy to get to the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. Modern hotel. Dinner was delicious but very expensive.

Kyle, United States of America

I think this was probably my favorite of the hotels I stayed in while in Iceland. Location wise it's ideally located between all activities in the area. Hotel itself is really cool and modern. Staff are super friendly as you'd expect. The restaurant was fantastic. Really great.

Nicolas, United Kingdom

The bed, restaurant staff were friendly, the bar, the sauna, spacious room and bathroom. Wide choices of breakfast.

Ka,

Very good stop on the way to the glacier lagoon. Cozy rooms (heated floors in the bathroom). The option of adjacent rooms is very convenient (we traveled with two children). The food is good. Also, you can walk to a nice hidden waterfall after dinner (5 min from hotel). Overall very nice.

Nikolai, United States of America

It was a beautiful property amazing staff very nice property. The food was amazing!

Deidrew, United States of America

Very nice hotel, especially for Iceland. They will even call you if the Northern Lights are out. The restaurant is beautiful and delicious.

Breakfast was pricey for a typical buffet style hotel breakfast, but I suppose they are trucking in food to the middle of nowhere. It was good with lots of options.

Exceptional Hotel. Very conveniently located and the food in the restaurant was some of the best I’ve had in a long time. But as with the whole of Iceland, it doesn’t come cheap!

The hotel is under construction so we woke up to that noise and the smell of building. They turned off electricity including WiFi during our stay. Also the room itself smelled like sulfur.
Good location for southeast adventures. Very easy to get to the glacier lagoon and diamond beach. Modern hotel. Dinner was delicious but very expensive.
