The hotel was kept up nicely. The staff was warm and friendly. You must remember you are in Europe so they are small is size. Breakfast buffet hit the spot.

There were very few lodging options for the Hofn area as I booked last minute. I have always been satsified with Fosshotel facilities before, so I decided on this one despite the extreme expense. I realized once I arrived at the beautiful room that it was very expensive because it was a suite. I loved everything about it until it came time to sleep. 3 young men in the room below me kept me awake all night. I complained to the front desk and she spoke with them, but the noise continued until it was time for me to get up.

The best sleep in this whole trip! Mattress felt like my own and same is the blanket. We booked a family room with two king size bed and two bathrooms (one is extremely large). The breakfast is standard, staff are very friendly! Talked to us about their experience coming to Iceland and offered travelling advice in her own country! Will definitely stay again!

Good hotel to stay at especially with the glacier view in the distance. My qualm is I think the hotel is due for renovation - seems older with old carpets and bathroom tile grout. Stayed at another Foss hotel on a previous trip and that one was way newer and cleaner. Other qualm is I think they forgot to add bedsheets. We were too tired to ask for them and just slept. But staff are amazing, welcoming and respectful - it’s why we know Foss Hotel is one of Iceland’s best hotel companies in Iceland.

Beautiful setting with exceptional staff

We arrived late (10:00) and had a quick check-in. Parking was tight, but we found a spot. Room was comfortable and clean; access to the outdoors by sliding door was a fantastic plus. The highlight of the stay were the staff, however. We sat for a couple hours and chatted with the bartender (Polish fellow whose name I've forgotten) and receptionist (Mika), both of who were charming and just lovely people. Those are the kinds of experiences that make international travel memorable.

No screens on the windows and mosquitos/biting bug in the area, so staff asked that we keep windows closed. A very hot night. Shower was tiny and stinky. Old, black out curtains didn't block 30% of the light. Not a great room and this was the most expensive hotel on our trip at above $325 for a night. Front staff was not friendly upon arrival. Checking out was fine. Find another accommodation.

The hotel was nice and the staff friendly. They make a good latte not from an automatic machine. Shower in the room had an odd placement as it was a split shower/toilet in two separate locations. You exit shower directly to sleeping area which was odd. Overall though, nice hotel and would stay here again.
