Hotel Skaftafell, hotel in Skaftafell

The amazing location of Hotel Skaftafell provides guests with stunning views of Iceland's highest mountain, Hvannadalshnjukur and the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull.

Location was great. Dark enough at night to see the Northern Lights, and the surroundings were beautiful.

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, hotel in Skaftafell

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon offers luxurious accommodations in Hnappavellir. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant and hotel bar.

We had a great stay here. The upgrade to a sea view room is definitely worth it. The view is breathtaking, the room is spacious. The food at the restaurant is excellent! It was the best meal we had in our journey in Iceland.

    stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail,...

    stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

    This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views...

    This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

    Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more...

    Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

    Great location, beautiful setting, incredible views of mountains and glaciers. Checked in early evening then we walked a lovely, quiet trail from our room right to a glacier before sitting down to an excellent gourmet dinner. The room was small, with dated furnishing and twin beds, but had an up to date, roomy, nice bathroom and was very clean and comfortable. Very close to National Park entrance (parking lot). The breakfast was very nice. The room had a huge window that we could open to let in that marvelous fresh air.

    This hotel was in a great location for our adventures. The room was a good size and when we mentioned the comfort of the beds (they were a bit worn), the staff made an extra effort to replace the mattresses quickly! After that was done, we were so grateful. Being able to walk out the back door and hike to the Svinafellsjokull (glacier), have a short drive to Diamond Beach and the glacier lagoon, and get to the Skaftafel Nature Reserve/Park in minutes was key!

    This was one of our favorite hotels during our trip to Iceland! The staff was so nice and helpful. Parking was easy. We ate an amazing dinner at their on-site restaurant, drank tea in their upstairs lounge area, and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast! We loved taking a short walking path from the hotel right to a glacier. Definitely highly recommended!

    The location was great, you have the glacier behind the hotel, you are in a few minutes with the car to skaftafell visitor Center. Breakfast was also good, there is a Restaurant where you can take dinner. A little expensive but given that there are not so much possibilities to eat, it was acceptable.

    Plenty of parking lots in front of the hotel, however it tends to get packed. Breakfast is included, wide variety but not the best quality. Has lobby/reception area which feels polished, and there is a bar located on the 2nd floor which closes at 11pm.

    Our room location was very private and we had a great view of the glacier out the window. The breakfast was excellent with both local and international selections. The location was perfect - only 5 minutes from the National Park entrance.

    Medium-sized, family-run hotel. Friendly staff. Pleasant, clean, functionally furnished rooms. Average breakfast. There is not much accomodation choice in Skaftafell if you want to make a glacier tour from there.

    The breakfast was amazing. It is also located very close to the glacier. There is a trail that begins behind the hotel and leads to the glacier. It was a beautiful walk.
