Overall Ratings & Reviews Fosshotel Hellnar

My spouse and I booked the Fosshotel Hellnar as a stop on our Iceland road trip. It ended up being the perfect location to stop after 1 day travel from Reykjavik and partway around the Snaefellsnes peninsula. We were cold and tired by that point and the Fosshotel was so comfortable on our arrival. The fireplace in the lobby was very inviting. The room was spacious, comfortable and the heated bathroom floor tiles were such an appreciated luxury to us that day. We enjoyed dinner at the hotel restaurant as well as their breakfast buffet. All of the food was delicious. The prices were shocking to us in Canadian dollars but we got used to that in Iceland after a while. For the large portions and great quality, the prices were comparatively fair. The hotel didn't have some of the amenities that we had in other stays during our trip but the location was beautiful. We had a gorgeous view of the glacier from our room before rain and fog settled in low for the evening.

Beautiful. Amazing views

Amazing stay

Tiny rooms. Very dusty. Parking was odd, and you had to drag your suitcases through a fine gravel lot (not easy).

Was one of our favorite stays on 8 day ring road trip. Restaurant was very good too.

Room was our smallest of the whole trip but really nice and clean. The lobby area is very nice and perfect for relaxing in. Some of the buildings need a coat of paint but interiors are very nice. Scenery around the hotel is very nice.

Always a pleasant stay and beautiful views. Staff courteous and kind. Very professional. Restaurant a little pricey, but that’s the way things are.

Lovely little hotel by the water. Nice rooms with comfy beds. Breakfast was impressive for the price.

Amazing stay! The staff was wonderful, especially Eva; she arranged a hotel transfer for us and was a wealth of information about the local area. We were fortunate to see the northern lights, which were easily visible in the parking lot of the hotel. Book this hotel and don’t look back.

Out of the 6 hotels we stayed in Iceland, this one had the smallest rooms. Not very soundproof. The queen and twin options are grouped together for booking however when we asked for a twin room, we were told we had to pay an upgrade fee. When I pointed that out to the receptionist, they didn’t respond. Then they looked on the computer and told me they had no rooms available for twin and asked if “is it a big deal?”.

The hotel was nice and the staff was courteous. There is no sidewalk from parking so it may be difficult to drag your luggage and on top of that there were steps to go to our room. It was no big deal for me but I just want to provide this information. The dinner menu was good and the breakfast was amazing.

The property is great, however, is not similar to other Fosshotels. The restaurant had less options and there were no spa (hot tub or sauna) amenities. The location and views were great and the rooms were clean, but if you are expecting similar amenities to other Fosshotel locations you will be a bit disappointed.

The scenery is beautiful and the staff was extremely nice and courtesy

We had an ocean view room, great breakfast and dinner option. Room is small with a very small bathroom as well. But very clean. Great ocean view, it was very quiet and relaxing.

Great hotel.

Great location, great service, great breakfast. Would stay there again. It is more like a 4.5 star rating.

The view was absolutely stunning. Saw the northern lights right outside our door.

Great location, rooms are small, restaurant is A

We stayed in superior double room. It’s spacious and clean. We had zero water pressure for showers. It’s a bummer after we paid for the upgraded room.We felt it was not worth the cost. The location is also very remote. Not a great place to drive to, if you hit bad weather.

Breathtaking views- delicious food and friendly staff. Worth a stay.
