What guests think
Fosshotel Vatnajökull draws travelers for its stunning glacier and mountain views, friendly staff, and a comfortable base a short drive from Höfn along the Ring Road in a quiet, scenic setting ideal for aurora spotting when skies are clear.
Rooms range from spacious with impressive views to older, smaller layouts; bathrooms are often tight, blackout curtains can be weak, and some guests report warm rooms without AC, thin walls, or occasional construction noise. There is no elevator, and parking can feel limited even though spaces are generally available. Breakfast is generally good and dinners often praised, though prices, a small buffet at times, and a single coffee machine can draw criticism. Overall, expect scenic comfort with a few design and maintenance trade-offs.
