It’s an older hotel but nice staff and great location. Good breakfast, good dinner but expensive but then again everything is expensive in Iceland. One of the few places around to eat so having a good restaurant at the hotel was appreciated! You can walk from the hotel to the park and glacial lakes within minutes. Rooms and beds were weathered but clean. Expensive overall but location was great.

Overnight Stay in Skaftafell
Hotel Skaftafell is the only hotel located in Skaftafell and we chose it to be close to the National Park for a glacier hike. The view out of our room was of a glacier and there was a short trail to it. Hotel staff were helpful upon arrival and informed us that our only options for dinner were the hotel or the convenience store across the street. We opted for the convenience store since we were heading to the glacier lagoon. The beds were not very comfortable so glad it was only a one night stay. Breakfast was included and it was good. If you’re traveling the Ring Road and need a place to stay for one night I would recommend this hotel.

Grossly overpriced for what it is. The shower had the lowest water pressure I have ever experienced and was lukewarm. It felt like camping.

The rooms were great, but can only accommodate up to three people per room, so our family of five had to book two rooms. The rooms were simple and clean. Bathroom shower was a little outdated and small. Bed we’re comfortable.

There are wonderful hiking trails right out the back door. You can hike to 2 glaciers. The food in the restaurant was excellent, but very pricey.
