At Fosshotel Eastfjords, travelers highlight the stunning fjord-side setting and historic charm with an on-site museum, generally friendly service, clean rooms—many with views—and a well-liked restaurant and breakfast, plus convenient parking.
Some guests report crowded or disorganized dining when tour groups arrive, pricey dinners, and occasional unfriendly restaurant service. Room sizes vary; a few found beds firm, certain bathrooms small or prone to getting wet, and some rooms noisier than expected. The quiet small-town location offers great views but limited activities, and a nearby fish factory can sometimes bring a noticeable odor outdoors. Overall, it suits a relaxed stopover or Eastfjords base.

It's an interesting hotel, utilising former French hospital buildings and containing an interesting musuem about the French sailors, mainly from Brittany who spent half the year in tough conditions fishing along the Icelandic coast. The receptionist was friendly, informative and welcoming. Our room was over the road (free parking outside) with a view over the fjord. The room was spacious and modern with good black out curtains and a fab view. We booked into the French restaurant withon the hotel and both enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was also enjoyable with a good range ot items which were stocked up regularly. Neither the hotel or the restaurant are cheap - nothing in Iceland is cheap! However it was a pleasant quiet night. NB Nothing to do with the hotel but the fish industry locally is still very much alive and so we had a strong whiff of fish when outside. Doesn’t take away from the great views and setting.

Invited upon checkin to see the Museum regarding French fishing history housed in the building..was excellent! Room facing the fjord had small deck with chairs, was lovely to have a chance to sit right by water. Bed, bathroom, all excellent. Parking very near door. Did not have breakfast, price seemed high. Front desk not manned it a.m., supposed to find staff in dining area in another building to give key, no one there, finally knocked on back door to be able to hand key over. No problem really tho. A very nice place to spend our evening.

Freundliches Personal, leckeres Frühstück. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Balkon, von dem aus man optimal die Polarlichter über den Fjord beobachten konnte. Das Gebäude ist wunderschön und die Historie dahinter kann man sich in einer Ausstellung neben der Rezeption anschauen.

3 stars or less. Very basic set up. Understandable being in countryside of Iceland however overall experience doesn’t meet the value. Part of this hotel is a small museum focus on its history story which was lovely.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis unverhältnismäßig; Hotel besonders Badezimmer in die Jahre gekommen (teilweise mit Schimmel); Frühstück ok, aber für den Preis hätten wir definitiv mehr erwartet; Essen durchschnittlich; Freundlichkeit des Servicepersonals im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Hotels in Island nicht gegeben - wurden beim Frühstück kurz nach 10 Uhr quasi rausgeschmissen; Lage traumhaft; würden das Hotel nicht weiter empfehlen

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff was wonderful! friendly, helpful, and quick to make things right. The hotel itself was spotless, and the rooms had excellent blackout curtains, which is so important in Iceland during summer. The only hiccup was with our room booking. We had reserved one room with three beds, but when we arrived they said it was only booked for one bed. I showed my confirmation, and it seemed to be a mix-up on their end with a double booking. They upgraded us to two separate bedrooms with queen beds, which was very comfortable. However, the following night they moved us again into a room with three beds once it became available. Switching rooms two nights in a row was a little inconvenient, but they were apologetic and made up for it with a complimentary meal and discounts on food and drinks. Overall, it was a lovely stay with just that one bit of hassle at the start.

Wir hatten uns auf ein Zimmer mit Seeblick gefreut, bekamen aber eins im hinteren Haus, oberhalb von der Rezeption. Das Zimmer war ok, gross und sauber, aber leider auch etwas hellhörig und nicht die Aussicht, wie auf den Bildern. Fürs Abendessen wurden wir gebeten gleich zu reservieren, weil sie noch eine grosse Reisegruppe erwarteten. Dann rollten auch schon 2 asiatische Touren Busse. Das Restaurantperson war sehr arrogant, obwohl wir eingewilligt hatten bis 20.30 mit dem Abendessen zu warten, wurden wir nicht an den freien Tischen am Fenster platziert sondern in die hinterste Ecke zur sehr lauten 40 Mann Gruppe gesetzt und jeder Protest, dass wir 3 Stunden auf den Tisch gewartet haben half nichts! Wir hätten das Hotel nicht gewählt, wenn wir gewusst hätten, dass Touren auch da übernachten und einzelne Gäste keine Prio haben. Vorort gibt es kaum etwas zu besichtigen, geschweige denn andere Restaurants. Einzig schöne war die freundliche Rezeptionistin die sich für uns eingesetzt hat (herzlichen Dank) und der Drink am See.

We loved our stay at the Fosshotels Eastfjords! The location is in a quaint town and our welcome at reception was warm and helpful. The museum pieces in the lobby (admission included for guests) were fun to look at. The lodging is well appointed in a spacious room that felt luxurious. We had a balcony room with a stunning view of the fjord. The only drawback was the mattress, it was very firm. Other than that, highly recommended!

This was my favorite hotel of my ring road trip simply due to the balcony overlooking the fjord. I spent hours just sitting, sipping coffee, and watching the ducks/ducklings. Such a relaxing location and the room was a good size. I really miss this hotel the most out of my whole trip. Also, Tatyana at check in has such a bubbly personality that it was great to see someone who really enjoys what they are doing and is an extremely welcoming person. 10/10 will be back!

This is a beautiful hotel on the water in a beautiful fjord. The room was lovely and the staff were very helpful. We ate at the restaurant at the hotel as well as the two in the community - everything was delicious. We used this as a base to explore the other east fjords. The trails were very good. We loved the quiet relaxed atmosphere of the area.

Gentleman at front desk reception was wonderful, the staff in the restaurant/bar for both dinner and breakfast were cold and unfriendly. Wonderful view of the fjord right on the water, however be aware that there is a fish factory and at times the smell is extremely strong. Loved our clean and comfortable room.

It's nice but expensive in a small town. Not much things to do around the area. It includes breakfast.

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews
Dining
The on-site restaurant and breakfast are often praised for tasty meals and a pleasant setting. Downsides include high prices, crowding or items running out when tour groups arrive, a limited dinner menu on one night, and occasional overly salty dishes or curt service.

It's an interesting hotel, utilising former French hospital buildings and containing an interesting musuem about the French sailors, mainly from Brittany who spent half the year in tough conditions fishing along the Icelandic coast. The receptionist was friendly, informative and welcoming. Our room was over the road (free parking outside) with a view over the fjord. The room was spacious and modern with good black out curtains and a fab view. We booked into the French restaurant withon the hotel and both enjoyed our meals. Breakfast was also enjoyable with a good range ot items which were stocked up regularly. Neither the hotel or the restaurant are cheap - nothing in Iceland is cheap! However it was a pleasant quiet night. NB Nothing to do with the hotel but the fish industry locally is still very much alive and so we had a strong whiff of fish when outside. Doesn’t take away from the great views and setting.

Staff was super friendly. My only complaint is dinner was a little expensive for the amount of food you get.

I had an issue: I booked two days at the hotel, included breakfast. At the first day the breakfast was complete, with white bread, croissants and sweet pastries. At the second day only white bread was available because a big group of a travel agency finished with the all assortment of sweets breads. More five couples of guests stayed without this service. A note: we payed for the breakfast, it is not for free… this is a non organization method to supply all the guest in the same way.

The ambiance and look of the hotel The breakfast was excellent however, I would suggest to move the toaster on another table away of the buffet because, it was very crowded.

Zimmer war schön und mit Balkon. Fenster waren nicht ganz dicht und deshalb ein wenig kalt im Zimmer. Frühstücksauswahl eher klein aber sonst OK. Es gibt ein Restaurant. Wir waren enttäuscht vom Abendessen. Es gab nur eine kleine Karte mit 3 Hauptspeisen. Essen war leider schnell kalt. Preis-/Leistung stimmt nich ganz.

The location is excellent and queit. Only place to eat was the hotel restaurant. There were an item or two for vegetarians. Price was on par with slightly high end restaurants. Staff was excellent, service was top notch. The restaurant overlooks the fjord and makes for an enjoyable evening.

We stopped here on night 5 of our Ring Road tour. We had a Superior Double room which had a balcony overlooking the fjord. The views were stunning. Parking was available next to the bar/restaurant. Access was on the level from that car park, and there was also a lift if you accessed from the upper level. The reception is in the building across the road, and there’s a small exhibition depicting the building’s former use as a hospital. The room was spacious and has a mini-fridge. Beds were comfy and the room was spotless. Breakfast was great with a huge selection to choose from.
