This is 3 star hotel in a 5 star location.  If you are visiting the national park it is a 5 minutes drive away.  You can walk to view the glacier up close from the back door.  Rooms are clean warm and comfortable, the staff were helpful and friendly, the breakfast buffet great.  We ate at the service station across the road for dinner which is run by the same family and the homecooked lasagne was amazing. Lots of shared spaces to relax.  All in all my favourite hotel on our trip due to the stunning location.

5 star location

A pleasant hotel ideally situated between Skaftafell park and Jokulsarlan diamond beach and glacier lagoon. The room had twin beds and the best bit and much appreciated were the heated floor on the bathroom! The curtains let in a lot of light so you may need an eye mask to sleep. There’s a lovely walk behind the hotel to the tip of a glacier which you pretty much have to yourself. The staff were all very friendly.

A pleasant hotel

Really friendly people and a very clean and comfortable room with a great view. Bathroom again very clean and roomy with shampoo and conditioner provided. Had a delicious meal in their restaurant and greatly enjoyed our stay. The walk to the glacier was through a well maintained meadow.

Friendly people, comfortable room

A fantastic hotel, which had everything we needed. We booked it as it was close to the start of our glacier walk activity the next day. It was our daughters 16th birthday the day we arrived and I had asked them if they would make a little surprise for her. They so very kindly but some balloons, some chocolates and a lovely birthday note in her room when we arrived. Our rooms were very comfortable and breakfast was great. So much lovely food to choose from. Hot and cold. And of course what a service offering to go outside to see if the aurora was there every 20 minutes and calling everyone, if they had asked for it, at anytime of the night. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend it. 

Wonderful hotel and staff.

This place was great and the guy working the front desk went outside ever 30 mins to check for the northern lights for everyone who wanted to know if they were out! We got some incredible pictures because of it and it was probably the most intense we were able to see them!

Great staff

· It’s location right next to the glacier is excellent for hiking , the views are great and so far it was the only place we have seen Northern lights. The room was warm and comfortable, bit of a tiny shower, The meal in the restaurant was excellent…not cheap but properly cooked, well presented food with vegetables! we had Arctic char and were served 2 large pieces each on delicious mashed potato and celeriac with julienne carrots. The beds were comfortable and warm.

Disliked · We had originally booked 2 packed lunches for our glacier walk the next day but as these were going to cost about £18 each we bought bread and cheese etc and made our own. We were carrying around food anyway as some of our stops are self catering. Breakfast was good - cooked items to fill up on before a days hiking. 

Great location, remote yet a 'proper' hotel. 

This was one of the only hotels available in this location post ice-climbing. It has a convenient location to the restaurant/gas station across the street. We did not go to the hotel restaurant (gas station was more affordable option). Beds were very comfortable - probably the best sleep we had during our 14-day trip. There were three single beds to every room. Bathrooms were clean. Breakfast was delicious with many options. We would stay again.

good location

We stayed one night here and it was the best hotel we stayed at in iceland.  They had an excellent breakfast with hot items and homemade breads.  We were in the three hundreds, our room was new condition and very quiet, a vestibule with door from the entry door probably helped that.  There’s an excellent hiking trail behind the hotel to the glacier and waterfall, really nice!

We also ate dinner in the restaurant.. duck, pita with goat cheese, skyr mousse and all were delicious…one of our better meals in iceland

Quiet, new rooms, great hiking trail, hot breakfast!

Our family of 6 stayed here fir 2 nights, in 2 triple rooms. The rooms were spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and the showers were piping hot and just what we needed.
I had a sore ankle when we arrived, and they gave me a huge bag of ice, and one of the receptionists even gave me some paracetamol from her own handbag. The receptionists were lovely people, and very welcoming. It was lovely chatting to them, and seeing the real love they have for this very special part of the world.
Breakfasts were great and plentiful! My teenagers were very happy - as was my preschooler! We also had dinner in the restaurant on one of the nights - and it was delicious, and generously portioned.
Now, the location! It really is unbeatable. The very short walk to the glacier behind the hotel is so special. Utterly spectacular, and I went there 4 times in the 2 nights we stayed!
We would love to come again. What an incredible region to visit, and a really comfortable, friendly base from which to see as much as possible. Thank you Hotel Skaftafell x

Lovely, welcoming hotel in incredible location

July 11th, 2022. Room was average, but clean. It was raining, all the hostels and hotels had booked up, so we drove 60 miles to this place after confirming a room over the phone with the guy working behind the desk. It was a room for two with two twin beds, but they added an additional twin bed to accommodate the three of us after I discussed our situation. We had planned on camping like previous nights, but too much rain this day. Exceptionally nice staff. They loaded our ice chest up with ice that night when asked. The shower was piping hot water and very much needed after a 10pm hike from the hotel to the glacier for which they have a trail directly behind the hotel. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was incredible. fantastic homemade breads, crisp cooked bacon, fruit, jams, quality coffee, normal juice selection, and many extras. I cant say enough about how nice all the staff are that we came into contact with both the evening we checked in, and the next morning. I am sure after several days camping we looked rough coming in, but you would never have known it by how decent the staff were to us. This goes a long ways with me.
