    Beautiful hotel with fantastic views. The beds were reasonably comfortable. One of our two rooms was, however, incredibly warm even though we'd opened the window and turned off the radiator. The breakfast buffet was quite good and the staff was very nice.

    Upscale suite with two walls of floor to ceiling windows and balcony to take in the fabulous breathtaking view. Quiet & comfortable bar and lounge area. Accommodating employees. Vast and varied free breakfast.

    Great hotel just 10 minutes out of Hofn. Spectacular views on mountains and plains in a wonderful wild landscape (even with wild reindeer). Rooms are great and the staff were very helpful. Not cheap, but what is in Iceland!

    Views from hotel is amazing. Room and bathroom is so spacious. We got a room at level 0 and it opens up to the outdoor. Will be a nice location to catch the northern lights.

    Really nice room and great included breakfast with fresh fruits. Reasonably priced as well. Only negative point was that the "double bed" was just two single beds pushed together.

    Food and drinks were phenomenal! Bar-tender was awesome & his drinks were so fun! Spice cake dessert also AMAZING. Staff was friendly. Room was clean but beds were quite hard.

    Very clean and modern hotel with a restaurant and bar on the first floor. Room was immaculate and even had a balcony. The property is quite remote so if you don't want to eat on-site (expensive) than be sure to bring food with you. Since it's far from everything though it is possible to see the northern lights from the parking lot. There's very little light pollution.

    Location was pretty far out from the city, but we were bus shuttled everywhere whilst on a tour so that wasn't a problem for us. The rooms were fantastic, extremely comfortable, as was the breakfast buffet in the morning. The hotel itself was refreshingly modern, I stayed in a twin room, quite large, good room layout. The shower was a little bit odd, as there was no bathroom only two separate rooms for a toilet and shower and the basin was in the room itself. If you aren't comfortable with your roommate, showering may be slightly awkward in one of these rooms. However, not all twin rooms are alike to this.

    After staying in guesthouses and B&B’s around Iceland, this hotel seemed simply dull. It was clean and spacious, but felt like standard tourist hotel. No soul or individuality, it was a useful place to stay, but lacked in charm. The staff were polite and efficient, and the breakfast plentiful (and included waffles!). However, the juices were not fresh and the coffee of poor quality. For the price we paid to stay, you would expect a bit more, and would be better off staying in a smaller, more private place.

    Seems like a brand new hotel. Really nice rooms and staff, also a banging free breakfast. Stunning view in the morning.

    Nice new hotel. Clean. Friendly staff. Great restaurant and breakfast. Breathtaking views from your room and the hotel staff will give you a wake up call if the northern lights are out and you request it. Only 15 minutes from town. Would definitely stay here again.

    Bad experience! They put us in extension rooms which were outdated and we had no hot water! We had to move to another room after midnight which had no working heater. This is sad because this is a nice property in a nice location but it it just mismanaged. Manager didn't agree to even provide a discount when we checked out and assumed that an apology is enough which is not acceptable for a respectable company. Last time I stay at a Foss hotel.

    Beautiful surroundings and views from lounge area. Has large windows for viewing glacier. Staff was great, helpful and Kasper, the bartender makes great drinks. Breakfast was one of the best I had in Iceland, and I stayed in 8 different ones. Rooms modern with heated tiled floors.

    Friendly staff and great views from the breakfast and bar areas.
    A contemporary crisp design makes it stand out from other hotels we saw. The room was spacious and clean.
    Very expensive and limited dinner menu so we drove 15km to Höfn for a wider choice and cheaper prices.
    Wild reindeer passed the hotel on a couple of occasions

    The hotel has an excellent view of the surrounding landscape and the facilities are completely modern. The staff was friendly, professional, and went out of their way to help is whenever possible. My only complaint is the breakfast spread could be brought up a notch or two. Overall great experience.

    The place looks amazing, it's been redone in 2014. The staff is great and very helpful. Breakfast tasted good, they have a nice selection of drinks and even single malt Scottish whisky (Lagavullin 16 y for example). Would definitely go back.

    Pretty much brand new. Great room with heated tile floor in the bathroom. Good breakfast selection. Rooms were clean and comfortable. This was the nicest hotel we stayed at in Iceland.Triple was roomy enough for us all.
