    Very nice location near a waterfall right at its drive way. Just down the hill is the best place to climb in Iceland, so that is a great bonus for me. It's not very far from the glacier lagoons, hence it's name, which are beautiful stops for pictures. I can not speak for the rooms, but the bar is fully stocked with pleasant service and a great view. Outdoor seating is also available for nice weather days.

    Eat here but do not stay here in the summer!

    The food was delicious. Order the five course meal. It is delicious and actually six courses, great deal!

    The rooms are so hot, like sauna hot!! There is only a tiny window that opens and a fan. It was nine billion degrees in there (only a slight exaggeration). It was really disappoitinf and certinaly not worth the cost.

    Good quality rooms, excellent location, less than half an hour from the glacier lagoon, but in a quiet location near a small waterfall. Sea view room view is good, while the included Breakfast has a good range of buffet options. Unfortunately on out first day it was cleared away around ten minutes early mening we were unable to have our full planned breakfast. Food quality is good and Bar provides a good range of choice.

    Great hotel in a middle of no where. Great courteous staff, excellent service. You cannot go wrong with Foss Hotels anywhere. They have best locations and they run hotels smartly.

    A well-done upscale hotel. The food is great, the rooms are clean with a view of the night sky for potential aurora sitings. I enjoyed every aspect of my time at this hotel. The staff is great.

    One of the best hotel stays during my trip. It's hard to get a room in this hotel but it's worth every cent. Must try Lamb dish in the restaurant , we had it in 2 consecutive days. As the name says it, The location makes it one of the best location u can stay for the glacier lagoon visit.

    Beautiful hotel conveniently located on Iceland's Highway 1. Staff was very friendly and easy to work with. We were stranded from our hotel Fosshotel Nupar, and our luggage because of a snow storm, and Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon transferred our registration free of charge. Needless to say we were a bit stressed because of our situation, but the ease of working with the staff erased our concerns. The staff monitored road closure status and made personal and timely notifications to the guests who were stranded. The restaurant and bar area was fantastic. The setting is beautiful nestled beneath a glacier. I would definitely stay here again.

    Very nice hotel. The rooms are setup to allow you to see the sky and hopefully the Northern lights. Sadly we missed out on our journey despite spending hours in the open air hot tub. Friendly helpful staff and great food too.

    Stayed here for a tour and loved the place! Very new hotel, great rooms comfy bed. Shower was the highlight as you get some dodgy showers when travelling. Dinner was amazing and the service was fantastic. Breakfast buffet had a great selection. But most importantly we been lucky enough to see the northern lights from outside the hotel. There was a slight cloud cover and you had to be patience but worth it.

    Stayed for one night. Free upgrade to suite and the room was fantastic and huge. Nice modern design and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great with plenty of selection. Just that the sign leading to the hotel is just oddly placed and you will tends to miss it from the main road.

    Didn’t stay at the hotel but stopped by for a meal. Service was pleasant and food decent. Ambiance was lovely and relaxed. Definitely enjoyed our time here and luckily happened upon happy hour in the lobby. Wonderful location and view.

    The hotel was great! Our room was very clean and we liked the modern styled bathrooms. The front desk staff was very friendly and the restaurant upstairs is amazing!

    This hotel is simply incredible. Standing in the middle of Icelandic scenery at its best, raw, gritty at the mercy of the elements! The hotel is a stunning piece of architecture with warm interiors. The rooms are so cool with cosy blankets on the bed. The whole place smacks of style and Icelend. The food is exceptional, service impeccable. We had an enjoyable evening tasting cocktails served by Vlad and simply loved our stay here. We had the most fantastic one night stay here and cant wait to come back.

    A spectacular location. The hotel lacked design in the rooms but the food at the restaurant was stunning. The breakfast also delicious. Loved the architecture of the hotel especially as you are driving along Road 1.

    Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon is easily the best hotel we have stayed at. We stayed here for one night. They allowed us to check in early and we enjoyed walking around the hotel and the grounds, as it is built right next to a waterfall.

    The hotel is barely 1 year old and is gorgeous, inside and out. The room were flawlessly designed. We simply loved it there. One of the best features was the large window sitting area, where we were able to sit and enjoy the view sipping on coffee and when it was raining heavily at night time.

    We had dinner at the restaurant and it was delectable. We had the Farmer's Feast which included a Lamb Carpaccio, Pork with Rhubarb BBQ sauce, and dessert; it was incredible and our server was magnificent. I wish I remembered her name so we could say good things about her to the hotel. Breakfast was also good; many options.

    Excellent value.

    This hotel looks like a Bond villain lair. We liked this hotel the best of any that we stayed at in Iceland. The food, accommodation, and service was fantastic.

    I only had lunch here so couldn't comment on the accommodation. The lunch was a buffet with great varieties and very reasonably priced for Iceland standard. The hotel lobby and the restaurant has a nice clean modern decoration. The view of the surrounding is excellent, they even have their own waterfall in the premise.

    Awesome hotel to stay at. A bit on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. Happy hr is 5-7pm and is about $13 for 2 glasses of wine/beer and $15 for their cocktail of the day. Breakfast buffet is prob the best I've had in Iceland. Very nice interior design with a modern, chic look. There's a fridge, water boiler, but no microwave. Definitely recommended

    The Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon is awesome from the design, a little bit too dark on the mountain side but not really charming. Because it just opened around one year ago (according to one of the servants in the restaurant) and its modern design, it didn't really have any charm for us. In fact, it was a little bit cold The staff is really friendly (most of them are not from Iceland but do a great job). The restaurant is expensive but offers great food what you can find in nearly all Icelandic hotel restaurants. If your room is on the right side, you have a fantastic view. All in all: You can stay there and have a good time but if you look for something with personality and charme, it isn't the first location I would choose.

    Sleek and modern design that blends well with the gorgeous natural scenery. A bus of tourists were checking-in just as we arrived, but was check-in was relatively fast. Got there in time for happy hour too, half-price on all drinks at the bar. The breakfast buffet has a great selection of food (breads, cheeses, sausage, waffles, salmon, etc.) and the dining room has a great view. True to it's name, there's a waterfall just a short walk from the parking lot.

    Room have high roof and unique design. Should get five stars but everything seems like they were on a rush to open the hotel and something's are not ready. They checked us in to a room that already have guest in there. The sink in the toilet leak brownish water. The toilet door cannot be lock because the screw wasn't put in properly so the door cannot be close. The rooms are quite far when compared to other hotel in Iceland.
    Other than that everything is good.

    Absolutely gorgeous hotel. It's location close to lagoon and glaciers makes for a great stop. We went ice caving and walking on glaciers. Hotel staff was fantastic. They have a list you can sign up for if you want to be woken up if northern lights show up, which depending on weather can be tough. Nothing but praise for this place.
