Very good property in very dark area. Highest ceiling hotel I've been. We were on our way to glacier tour the next day morning. Perfect location, just 25 mins away from meetinfg point. They also offer Northern light alarm call service for complimentary. We were able to spot gleamce of aurora in the middle of night. Just sucks we can only stay here for a day due to our schedule. Highly recommend.

It is close to Glacier Bay, Diamond Beach and the Ice Caves. It is a serious hike from Reykjavik on a desolate road so you have to be committed to heading out to this area. If you are Fosshotel Glacier Bay is a fantastic choice. Fabulous food was quite a surprise. Try the tasting menu! The spa area was the only downfall. In a country known for their hot tubs and spa this hotel did not live up to the standards it set for everything else. Still I highly recommend and would absolutely return.

The room was very cozy and the bed was very comfortable. There are very limited dining options and the dinner menu at the hotel's restaurant was expensive. However, the breakfast buffet was delicious. Also the staff was very friendly.

They had a very nice restaurant. Check-in was easy and they provided convenient, easy-to-use laundry service. The room was warm, nice, and comfortable. Their breakfast buffet in the morning was the best one we had throughout our two week stay in Iceland, so many tasty options to choose from. The staff was all friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay in another Fosshotel if we return.

Beautiful hotel, loved the solitary location. Great for nearby hikes and the diamond beach as well as the glaciers. Restaurant had really good options for dinner- meat, fish and veggie. Breakfast was well worth it. Rooms - delightful! Robes, picture windows and everything was clean and cosy. We used the wake up call for the northern lights and were lucky to see them. Can’t fault this hotel!
