This hotel has self check in and check out which we appreciated. It is very close to Skogafoss waterfall. The room was very clean and we were able to capture a photo of the northern lights from outside our room so this seems to be a good location.

Just a place to stay and convenient to Skógafoss and the Fimm Trail. Clean, comfy beds and pillows. Great view of falls and aurora from windows. Breakfast was acceptable, simple breakfast food and limited offerings. Coffee was available 24/7. Outside needs some cleaning up but we were pleasantly surprised how nice the inside was. I’d stay here again. Can walk to the falls and the restaurant.

I would rate the property a 2.5. The exterior is very run down. Pulling some weeds and just a fresh coat of paint on the entry way sign would help. The interior is clean but old and worn. The room is small and bathroom even smaller. We stayed last nt at a brand new resort / spa for the same price near the glacier with amazing views. This has been a disappointment for sure. Least favorite of 4 hotels during our 2 wk stay.

Our room was in a small building that reminded me of a Spanish villa. The room was on the second floor and had a view of the mountains. The bathroom was comfortable (shower was a bit small for my over 6 foot husband). Breakfast was very well stocked (prunes were a bit stale). The nearby Hotel Skógá restaurant was convenient. Access to the waterfall and related hikes was easy. A bonus is that we could walk to the Skogar Museum and the nearby forest planted by former students. My only suggestion is to provide guests with a number to call the restaurant ahead of time for reservations. We never had trouble getting a table but I would have reserved a table closer to a window if I had been given an opportunity to easily reserve one.

Small hotel in great location for hiking near skogafoss waterfall. Some rooms are pretty small, others are a bit better sized. Quiet area, and friendly staff, but it seems they’re just getting staffing levels back up to where they were. Restaurant was closed (staffing issues apparently), but the did offer a nice breakfast.

Perfect bed n breakfast

Excellent hotel for what we were looking for! We had flown in that morning and jumped on the road right away to see the sights of the south coast of Iceland...For our trip, the hotel was in a perfect spot near Skogafoss and just off the main highway. It's a "self-check-in" hotel which was convenient as we had no issues getting into our room after a long day of travel and exploring. The hotel and room were clean, quiet, and cozy. We only stayed one night and had their continental breakfast before we headed out. There is another hotel within a 5 min walk that has a bar/restaurant with a decent menu selection and open until 9pm I believe as well. We only stayed here for 12 hours, but would stay here again on our next trip to Iceland!

The self check in was very easy. Everything was very clean and neat. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was the best we had during our stay in Iceland. Everything was hot and delicious. We loved that they had a self-serve coffee machine with lots of options for different hot drinks. The exterior of the hotel could use a refresh. I would advise not to “judge a book by its cover.” We definitely were not impressed by the front of the hotel but were very pleased with our stay overall. It’s a very convenient location for seeing the waterfalls and doing other glacier activities. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant at their sister hotel, Hotel Skogafoss.

Hotel is very conveniently located. Staff was amazing. We had to leave before breakfast started and we received boxes to go. We didn’t like tile floor in the room. It was cold on the feet. Sink in the bathroom was tiny and glass shelf right above made teeth brushing difficult. Overall we had a very good experience.

No Hot water and Not Quiet

After long day of hiking, I expected a hot shower. Never got hot water after running it over 10mins and gave up. Took 6mins to get Luke warm in sink. Hotel is not quiet as tile flooring on hallways where roller bags are dragged in at all hours will have you up and in morning, coffee machine and Bfast will echo through same small hall. This isn't worth the cost -its more like a B&B. Only thing has going for it is walkable to falls.

Small nice hotel with easy self check in . Clean rooms with good beds and nice shower. Short walk to the falls. Good breakfast in the morning with cold and hot options. Good quality espresso machine for coffee and chocolates and teas when you want which was appreciated after a long drive. If you can, walk to the top of the falls and keep going. We saw 7 waterfalls but there are at least 10. We ran out of time sadly. Thank you for a nice stay. Would love to return someday.

The staff was friendly. We arrived late (but before midnight). I dislike self-service hotels I've never gotten my room without an issue and this was no different. My information was sent to my friend's email but they did not include the code to my door. The phone number we called was not answered. Thankfully a second phone number (located in my friend's room) was found and we were able to get the missing code. The staff was attentive and breakfast was included.

Stayed here on a recent trip and was pretty disappointed. Paper thin walls, water smelled like sulfur, the lock to unlock the door stopped working and almost locked us out. Ended up with a bad night's sleep from people hanging out in the common area downstairs late and smelling like sulfur because I tried to take a shower. Would recommend staying in Vik where theres more food/things to do or just anywhere else I guess. Only bright spot was the staff helping to retrieve a forgotten item.
