Sujuan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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!
Sam, 1-night trip

Great property, nice staff! Bar is great with awesome views. We had a simple room on 1st floor, although a corner room but lacked any views for the price.

Lovely clean room. Plenty of space. Saw some wild reindeer just over the road too which made the stay even better. Would recommend.

Pros: Great view of the glacier and great staff! Cons: TV channels did not work and it’s an isolated location.

Great Experience
RAHUL, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Abraham, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Ila, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

This hotel is clean and the staff is friendly but the area we stayed in, which may have been the old part of the building, was very dated feeling. The room was quite a let-down. The bathroom was tiny-could barely fit in the shower. Breakfast was expensive and very average. The views were lovely.
Margaret, 1-night trip

Absolutely amazing with wonderful views.

Great food nice views super welcoming and helpful staff
margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
