This hotel exceeded our expectations. It was super clean and cosy, the breakfast was amazing with a lot of different choices for everyone’s taste. Shampoo, conditioner and soap were all bio and smelled amazing. All rooms have an amazing view, and if you’re lucky you might also see the northern lights. I can only recommend it to everyone.

“would not recommend”

there are very few hotels in this part of Iceland, so we had to book a room at Fosshotel... the room feels outdated and not very clean as there was liquid collecting on the ceiling. Being a couple we specifically requested a double bed and they kindly responded saying it was no problem, but upon arrival it was just two twins pushed together which is not what we had wanted.
the heating worked quickly and well. The bathroom had great amenities such as cotton pads, soap, lotion etc..

“we had a good stay for the short night we were there”

- • Stayed 1 night
we arrived at breakfast 30 mins before the end of breakfast and the bacon wasn't topped up. when i asked the waitress if it was going to be they said no, which seemed strange as it hadn't closed yet. the room was ok but made us think what the room we booked must have been like as the upgrade wasn't very luxurious. We also know it is typical to have 2 single beds in iceland but a double sheet/bed cover would be a good addition.
the place was great for a night to crash. free room upgrade good breakfast

“Least favorite hotel during my Iceland stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveller
- • Stayed 1 night
Front desk gentleman was not friendly during check-in process. I made reservation for dinner and as a solo diner, I was placed at a small table a few rows back from window even though there were small tables by window available the entire time I was eating. I felt I was not important to the staff. Hotel has no personality. Out of the nine accommodations I had in Iceland, this was my least favorite. They took my credit card for incidentals at check-in but at check-out they needed it again to charge my restaurant bill. Person at front desk said systems were not linked. Not sure why they needed it in the beginning.
Room was clean and comfortable.

Beautiful hotel, we got complimentary upgrade. The room is nice and comfortable. It has a back door to walk outside.The mountain and glacier view from the hotel is breathtaking. I had smoked sheep and langoustine for dinner , really enjoyed it. My boyfriend didn’t like his main course of ribeye, too tough to cut through . The waitress in the restaurant is not attentive, very cold, never had a smile on her face. The waiter was very nice. Breakfast was enjoyable. Overall I liked the stay . Hope they can improve their restaurant service.

There’s nothing really nearby. But if you are driving around Iceland that’s really common. It’s a beautiful place with low population density so you can’t expect a Starbucks on every corner!
Beautiful hotel, very new and clean. Modern with s beautiful view.
