    The view was breathtaking. It is definitely not in a city - but the views were worth it. We had a delicious dinner at the hotel (expensive) but great quality - and again there isn't really anywhere for you to go near by. Recommend making reservations even if the hotel looks empty.

    The view from our rooms was hindered by the construction. The hotel is very close to Hofn, which is nothing interesting to see, but quite far from other touristic places.

    Nice surroundings, modern & comfy rooms, great breakfast

    Should have been better, the price was still as much as the last Fosshotel but the standards much lower.

    Very disappointed to arrive and find one side of our corner suite masked by scaffolding with workmen on, having to keep blinds down for privacy. This detracted from our stay. After the Glacier Lagoon, the restaurant here was definitely lower standard also. We chose to find somewhere else to eat the second night.

    After the first Fosshotel we were really looking forward to this one but the feeling of luxury was definitely missing, and while it was nice it was nowhere near as good, or value for money. We had a suite and the room was spacious with lovely views. We were treated to auroras our first night and the balcony was perfect viewing.

    The room was very small and the stay was expensive.

    This hotel was convenient to my husband and I, traveling to Stokksnes from Reykjavik. The staff was friendly, the views from the restaurant area were beautiful.

    The hotel could do with some refurbishment. The paint and carpet should be renewed. The rooms were a bit small compared to other rooms we had in Iceland.

    The food was lovely. The views of the glaciers from the hotel were lovely.

    Our bathroom is suitable for disabled person, so there is no shower curtain which caused the whole bathroom floor wet after shower, I think this could be improved.

    Rooms are OK, but a little bit far from center, view of bar is nice,staff are nice, except when we arrive the credit card machine is broken. But few hours later it works again.

    It was a bit dated. And they wanted to charge for a an of early checkin. We did get a free upgrade through booking as we had requested rooms next to each other so that was good.

    Amazing views!

    Not comparable to other fosshotels at the same price point.

    Be aware that part of the hotel is different than the rest and has no elevator for the stairs. There were no washcloths and only 2 bath and 2 hand towels in the room. The shower is super tiny and like some weird corner closing closet shower that I’ve never seen before ever and was not cool. At this price point calling a twin room/normal double for 2 people room an “economy room “ is laughable and instead it needs to be renovated. Didn’t realize it was like that or I could’ve easily picked a different option. Was so put off by the room and the carpet in the hallways and just the overall experience we left for dinner and tried to recover the evening by an excellent dinner outside of the hotel. Was asked 3 times at breakfast for my room number- would be better if they had someone stand there and check people in. Definitely not coming there to steal their lackluster breakfast. But other hotel guests tell our room number and didn’t pay for breakfast- so they should ask for the last name. I actually paid for the breakfast so it was pretty weird.
