Very clean and charming hotel. Would definitely stay here again. The only negative is that Fosshotel, unlike most hotels these days, doesn't offer any shampoo, conditioner, or lotion - only body soap. So make sure to bring your own.

We had such a wonderful stay! The rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable, the rain shower amazing, the food (both dinner and breaks fast) was excellent, and maybe best of all, the black out shade was so top notch that we woke up and didn’t know what day it was. I have only wonderful things to say and would absolutely come stay again!

Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Very good dinner and breakfast. A pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere.

Excellent hotel. I wish I had booked this hotel in other locations too. Location, room; facilities and staff are all excellent.

Misleading information. 5 star price for a star budget student style hostel .Had we knew the our room was just right next to the car park , we wouldn’t have chosen this hotel . Very poor value of money . The amenities were of inferior quality. The service was cold . We stayed at Fosshotel glacier lagoon just a few days ago and initially had a good impression of the brand but after staying at this hotel, we are going to avoid this chain hotel the next time . The room had a musty smell to it . It was probably coming from the old carpet . The ventilation inside the room was poor. Sound insulation was terrible . We could hear the sound of cars passing by every now and then . We booked the standard double room but were given a room which was in the separate location as the main hotel. This was misleading and dishonest. Unfortunately, there was nothing I like about this hotel .

This was one of our favorite places to stay during our 14 day tour of Iceland. The views out over the ocean from the patio and the restaurant are wonderful, and the coastal trail to view the birds and their chicks was a gem. There is a natural arch five minutes down the path with intriguing geology, and the views inland are awesome as well. We wish we stayed here longer as there some great things to do and see along the peninsula. The staff are very friendly and we would stay here again for sure!

They offer good buffee breakfast. But we need to pay about $30 per person. It is better to tell the guests in advance.

El hotel es pequeñito, íntimo, las habitaciones pequeñas siento que el precio es muy alto para lo que ofrece, hay cargadores eléctricos, el desayuno estuvo muy bueno.

We only stayed here one night. The staff was very helpful

Not much around the area

Great location and very helpful staff

Good experience

Scenic location; room clean and well appointed. Staff very courteous and helpful. Great meals in the restaurant.

Property in very poor condition. Hardly any sound insulation. Showers leaking. Dilapidated bathrooms. Manager Ana seems to treat staff very poorly.

Fosshotel Hellnar sits in a stunning natural setting, but the hotel experience was surprisingly modest for a 3‑star property. Coming from Fosshotel Myvatn, the contrast in quality was striking. The bathroom was extremely small — the sink was so tiny that even filling the electric kettle became an impossible challenge. The tissue box in the bathroom was empty, and the room overall felt far more basic than what the hotel description suggests. Breakfast was acceptable, but nothing memorable. A very normal stay that didn’t justify the expectations set by the Fosshotel brand.

Excellent and friendly staff, very personable and relaxed. Such a lovely setting! And the restaurant was fabulous, both for buffet breakfast and romantic dinner.

Great stay in the area!

Food was amazing, room was comfortable, excellent stay

We checked in a day early after an abysmal experience at our previous hotel - and we’re glad we did! Beautiful location, comfortable beds, spotless room, exceptional staff, and amazing breakfasts and dinners. This was a truly memorable place.
