The outside is deceiving. Once inside, it is a weird set-up but our room was ok. Breakfast starts at 8 which was too late for us. Walking distance from the nearby waterfall.

Excellent property, nice location, very good breakfast, super easy check in and check out. The bathrooom had a sliding door which had no locks, minor issue but was ok. Overall great hotel would love to stay there again.

Had a really nice stay. Was very nice to have access to the hot tub. Breakfast was nice. Liked the access to warm beverage maching for tea, hot chocolate. Room was nice and had everything we neeeded. Could see Skogafoss from our hotel window. Walked there the next day.

Excellent location- Next to waterfalls. Restaurant on property. Be sure to tell people that you offer free breakfast and hot tub at this hotel, as we did not know until we checked in.

Definitely not a good value for the money!’ This hotel doesn’t have a receptionist. The confirmation email about hotel reservations and facilities electronic code never arrived.
Lalit, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was in a small building that reminded me of a Spanish villa. The room was on the second floor and had a view of the mountains. The bathroom was comfortable (shower was a bit small for my over 6 foot husband). Breakfast was very well stocked (prunes were a bit stale). The nearby Hotel Skógá restaurant was convenient. Access to the waterfall and related hikes was easy. A bonus is that we could walk to the Skogar Museum and the nearby forest planted by former students. My only suggestion is to provide guests with a number to call the restaurant ahead of time for reservations. We never had trouble getting a table but I would have reserved a table closer to a window if I had been given an opportunity to easily reserve one.

Small hotel in great location for hiking near skogafoss waterfall. Some rooms are pretty small, others are a bit better sized. Quiet area, and friendly staff, but it seems they’re just getting staffing levels back up to where they were. Restaurant was closed (staffing issues apparently), but the did offer a nice breakfast.
Michele, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The self check in was very easy. Everything was very clean and neat. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was the best we had during our stay in Iceland. Everything was hot and delicious. We loved that they had a self-serve coffee machine with lots of options for different hot drinks. The exterior of the hotel could use a refresh. I would advise not to “judge a book by its cover.” We definitely were not impressed by the front of the hotel but were very pleased with our stay overall. It’s a very convenient location for seeing the waterfalls and doing other glacier activities. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant at their sister hotel, Hotel Skogafoss.

Perfect bed n breakfast

Excellent hotel for what we were looking for! We had flown in that morning and jumped on the road right away to see the sights of the south coast of Iceland...For our trip, the hotel was in a perfect spot near Skogafoss and just off the main highway. It's a "self-check-in" hotel which was convenient as we had no issues getting into our room after a long day of travel and exploring. The hotel and room were clean, quiet, and cozy. We only stayed one night and had their continental breakfast before we headed out. There is another hotel within a 5 min walk that has a bar/restaurant with a decent menu selection and open until 9pm I believe as well. We only stayed here for 12 hours, but would stay here again on our next trip to Iceland!

No Hot water and Not Quiet

After long day of hiking, I expected a hot shower. Never got hot water after running it over 10mins and gave up. Took 6mins to get Luke warm in sink. Hotel is not quiet as tile flooring on hallways where roller bags are dragged in at all hours will have you up and in morning, coffee machine and Bfast will echo through same small hall. This isn't worth the cost -its more like a B&B. Only thing has going for it is walkable to falls.

Hotel is very conveniently located. Staff was amazing. We had to leave before breakfast started and we received boxes to go. We didn’t like tile floor in the room. It was cold on the feet. Sink in the bathroom was tiny and glass shelf right above made teeth brushing difficult. Overall we had a very good experience.
Agnes, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small nice hotel with easy self check in . Clean rooms with good beds and nice shower. Short walk to the falls. Good breakfast in the morning with cold and hot options. Good quality espresso machine for coffee and chocolates and teas when you want which was appreciated after a long drive. If you can, walk to the top of the falls and keep going. We saw 7 waterfalls but there are at least 10. We ran out of time sadly. Thank you for a nice stay. Would love to return someday.
Alison, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was friendly. We arrived late (but before midnight). I dislike self-service hotels I've never gotten my room without an issue and this was no different. My information was sent to my friend's email but they did not include the code to my door. The phone number we called was not answered. Thankfully a second phone number (located in my friend's room) was found and we were able to get the missing code. The staff was attentive and breakfast was included.

4/10 Fair

Stayed here on a recent trip and was pretty disappointed. Paper thin walls, water smelled like sulfur, the lock to unlock the door stopped working and almost locked us out. Ended up with a bad night's sleep from people hanging out in the common area downstairs late and smelling like sulfur because I tried to take a shower. Would recommend staying in Vik where theres more food/things to do or just anywhere else I guess. Only bright spot was the staff helping to retrieve a forgotten item.
Alex, 1-night trip

Room was clean. Had only 1 pillow each. Weird tick tick knocking sound which continues off and on all the time.couldnt tell where it was coming from. Loud enough when trying to sleep to annoy some. Terrible smelling sulpher water. Nice coffee machine and a good included breakfast. Near falls and a restaurant.

Older building but in good condition and very clean. Wonderful coffee maker and breakfast. We did not receive a text or email with our check in information so I had to drive to the hotel next door and check in. Great location. We would stay here again just for the coffee maker. Hot tub was clean. Sauna must be seasonal or out of order but it made a nice place to dry off out of the rain.
