Tiny rooms. Very dusty. Parking was odd, and you had to drag your suitcases through a fine gravel lot (not easy).

Room was our smallest of the whole trip but really nice and clean. The lobby area is very nice and perfect for relaxing in. Some of the buildings need a coat of paint but interiors are very nice. Scenery around the hotel is very nice.

Amazing stay! The staff was wonderful, especially Eva; she arranged a hotel transfer for us and was a wealth of information about the local area. We were fortunate to see the northern lights, which were easily visible in the parking lot of the hotel. Book this hotel and don’t look back.

Out of the 6 hotels we stayed in Iceland, this one had the smallest rooms. Not very soundproof. The queen and twin options are grouped together for booking however when we asked for a twin room, we were told we had to pay an upgrade fee. When I pointed that out to the receptionist, they didn’t respond. Then they looked on the computer and told me they had no rooms available for twin and asked if “is it a big deal?”.

The hotel was nice and the staff was courteous. There is no sidewalk from parking so it may be difficult to drag your luggage and on top of that there were steps to go to our room. It was no big deal for me but I just want to provide this information. The dinner menu was good and the breakfast was amazing.

The property is great, however, is not similar to other Fosshotels. The restaurant had less options and there were no spa (hot tub or sauna) amenities. The location and views were great and the rooms were clean, but if you are expecting similar amenities to other Fosshotel locations you will be a bit disappointed.

We stayed in superior double room. It’s spacious and clean. We had zero water pressure for showers. It’s a bummer after we paid for the upgraded room.We felt it was not worth the cost. The location is also very remote. Not a great place to drive to, if you hit bad weather.
