We’ve stayed at several fosshotels in Iceland and we love this. This property is unfortunately somewhat older and without amenities, so we were quite disappointed for the high price we paid. Staff is great.

Hotel is located right of ring road, couldn't ask for better location. The front desk receptionist was very accommodating, kind and professional, fast check-in. We had drinks at the bar and a dinner.in the restaurant. Service was superb. Food was delicious, seafood soup best ever had. It was a very enjoyable evening. It's a new hotel, very modern, very clean, comfortable and we had a very good night sleep. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel and if ever in the area would definitely stay here.

We surprisingly got upgraded to suites on the ground floor. The room was huge with two walls of windows looking out to the mountains. They were understaffed but the staff that works there was working very hard and were very nice. It is a little far from the glacier. I couldn't figure out the weird glass hallway at first but it is the perfect place to see the Northern lights.
