I had a great one night stay. The sauna, hot tub and breakfast were define highlights of my trip. I highly recommend this hotel!

Some issues with service. For instance, they only clean your room daily if you specifically ask for it at reception, and when they do so they do a very superficial job (for example they don’t hoover the room). And they overcharged me because somebody had put their dinner on my room, which thankfully I noticed before it was too late.

Incredible location. Very nice modern building. Lovely bar and lounge area. Very nice area with sauna and hot tubs.

Crowded. No chance to use the facilities

Room size is reasonable. Food is awesome.

Pricey dinner and breakfast.

We loved that there was a hotel close to the glacier lagoon and the glacier hiking we wanted to do up by Skaftafell. We loved the outdoor hot tubs and spa area and the robes were fun as we got out of the hot tubs into the cool air. The rooms were comfortable too!

The only hotel in our trip that provided bedroom slippers! Room was comfy. The restaurant service was top notch and the food was great! There was also a waterfall nearby.

Breakfast bus-girls : they wander about like a tightly coiled spring with the singular objective of tearing down the buffet at 10:00:01 am. For a nice place there’s no need to jump on the clients like that just to hurry the process … relax! Food is pricey. Very good, but pricey.

Room was great, very comfortable, well appointed. Housekeeping A+. Front desk A+.

Bed too soft for our taste.

Waterfall and sheep visible from room. Breakfast was very good. Staff were efficient. Dinner was very good. Fridge & coffee machine in room.

A bit pricey, and a bit isolated, which we expected from the comments.

Superb hotel. Travelling with 2 teens, the rooms were adjacent and with a communicating door. Loved the hot tub and the views from it and the sauna. The dinner was fabulous.

The hotel is super stylish and made me think I was in a film location. It is comfortable, everything you need is provided and the staff were brilliant. Breakfast was excellent and my family made use of the sauna and gym. Whoever had the idea to offer a wake up call for the aurora borealis is a genius. The location is stunning and there is even a waterfall a short walk behind the hotel (see photos).

Breakfast not included for the price of a room night

Full service hotel in such a remote area

Ocean view room can get too hot in sunny days and the window is too small to handle it.

SPA with gym, sauna and hot tub. Nice view and bow window. Great breakfast

- The hotel is quite expensive but not worth its money. We stayed in few Fosshotels around Iceland and we liked others more. - Classic chain hotel. Too crowdy. It reminded me atmosphere of an airport. - We had Nespresso coffee machine at the room but coffee was not good. - The was no heater or drier in the room so we couldn’t dry our clothes. - Quality of breakfast was not good enough. Some food was cold and there was only basic selection of food.

- Exterior design of the hotel is nice and the hotel is located in nice place with nice views. Unfortunately we had a parking side view. - Room in general was comfortable. Good bed and shower.

The trainee waitress was a bit to eager to get us of the restaurant. Otherwise excellent

Perfectly located next to the glacier lagoons/diamond beach. I can’t imagine any fosshotel would be a disappointment. Breakfast was amazing. We also had dinner the night before and it was equally amazing. The beds were comfortable. Definitely leave some time to walk over to the waterfall next to the hotel.

Very comfortable. Excellent staff, restaurant dishes were good portions

Rooms got very hot as it was warm day and can’t open the windows because of the bugs. The fan in the room was broken which they promptly replaced though.

It was an expensive stay but worth it given not many options in that area. Nice restaurant and spa in the hotel.

It's quite pricey, but I'd say it's worth the high price, given the superb quality

Location is excellent if you plan to visit the glacier lagoon Jökulsarlon. We arrived around 9pm at the hotel, and it was no problem at all to get a table in the restaurant on short notice and enjoy a lovely dinner with fantastic food. The whole hotel is really stylish, modern, and simply beautiful. Even our "economy double room" was great, much better than expected. The hotel is quite isolated, which makes it absolutely quiet at night. Breakfast buffet the next morning was excellent.

Leaving.

The room was quiet, spacious and comfortable . Dinner superb and breakfast sumptuous. The staff attentive and friendly. Well done Foss hotel.

We were waiting for 1 hour during the dinner (between strater and main course). The staff apologised for that. We think it was a one-time thing.

The staff was very pleasant and attentive at all times. The facilities are amazing
