Hotel was very nice. Beds were a little soft for my liking and the room was warm due to unseasonably warm weather and no AC in the rooms, but other than these two things, our stay was very comfortable.

Very nice hotel.
Very expensive restaurant, and like most of Iceland, there are not a lot of choices on where to dine, when outside of Reykjavik.
Very easy check-in.
Heated floors.

Pricey for the room. I guess that's from a lack of competition. Higher end pricing for a mediocre room. The lobby and the restaurant were the best thing about the hotel. I expected more of a luxury room for nearly $500! All the staff were very nice.

Hotel was nice but overpriced even by Iceland standards. No air conditioning in the room, meals were not worth the price. Better off picking up food elsewhere.

We had a fantastic stay at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon! The spa area with hot tubs and sauna was such a relaxing highlight after a day of exploring. The complimentary breakfast was incredible—tons of variety and even an espresso machine, which was much appreciated. The location is perfect, just a short drive to the glacier and Diamond Beach, which is an absolute must-see. Our room was a bit tight for three people, but the beds were super comfortable, the blackout curtains were essential for summer travel in Iceland, and the bathroom was spacious and modern. The hotel restaurant was quite pricey—our most expensive meal of the trip at nearly $200 USD for two—but everything else about the stay was exceptional. A great mix of comfort, luxury, and access to nature!
