The hotel was a self checkin and kind of creepy. Tile floors everywhere so it was quite noisy when ppl came and went. The place needs a facelift for sure. TV never worked. It was sufficient for 2 nights but no longer.

Room was clean. Had only 1 pillow each. Weird tick tick knocking sound which continues off and on all the time.couldnt tell where it was coming from. Loud enough when trying to sleep to annoy some. Terrible smelling sulpher water. Nice coffee machine and a good included breakfast. Near falls and a restaurant.

This hotel has self check in and check out which we appreciated. It is very close to Skogafoss waterfall. The room was very clean and we were able to capture a photo of the northern lights from outside our room so this seems to be a good location.

Just a place to stay and convenient to Skógafoss and the Fimm Trail. Clean, comfy beds and pillows. Great view of falls and aurora from windows. Breakfast was acceptable, simple breakfast food and limited offerings. Coffee was available 24/7. Outside needs some cleaning up but we were pleasantly surprised how nice the inside was. I’d stay here again. Can walk to the falls and the restaurant.

The hotel is self check-in, so it’s very convenient if you dont have a set schedule. There really isn’t much service but I think there is a reception just down the street at a different hotel. I gave it 5 stars for the location, as it is only a short walk away from Skógafoss, kvernufoss and the Skógar museum, so you save parking fees if you plan to go to these places. Facilities are great provided it’s in a rural area, and the hot tub is a nice bonus.

I would rate the property a 2.5. The exterior is very run down. Pulling some weeds and just a fresh coat of paint on the entry way sign would help. The interior is clean but old and worn. The room is small and bathroom even smaller. We stayed last nt at a brand new resort / spa for the same price near the glacier with amazing views. This has been a disappointment for sure. Least favorite of 4 hotels during our 2 wk stay.

Older building but in good condition and very clean. Wonderful coffee maker and breakfast. We did not receive a text or email with our check in information so I had to drive to the hotel next door and check in. Great location. We would stay here again just for the coffee maker. Hot tub was clean. Sauna must be seasonal or out of order but it made a nice place to dry off out of the rain.

Our room was in a small building that reminded me of a Spanish villa. The room was on the second floor and had a view of the mountains. The bathroom was comfortable (shower was a bit small for my over 6 foot husband). Breakfast was very well stocked (prunes were a bit stale). The nearby Hotel Skógá restaurant was convenient. Access to the waterfall and related hikes was easy. A bonus is that we could walk to the Skogar Museum and the nearby forest planted by former students. My only suggestion is to provide guests with a number to call the restaurant ahead of time for reservations. We never had trouble getting a table but I would have reserved a table closer to a window if I had been given an opportunity to easily reserve one.
