    stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail,...

    stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

    Great location for glaciers and hiking. Comfortable beds, excellent shower products. Breakfast was very good, lots of options. Bar was nice as well. Definitely recommend this hotel when traveling through this area.

    This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views...

    This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

    Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more...

    Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

    The hotel is very close to one of the main glaciers in Iceland, so it is a great option, if not the only one, if doing some tours around. The facilities were great. The room had a good size and the bathroom was clean. Continental breakfast included in the room rate. Probably, it was the best I had during my stay in Iceland. The staff is just outstanding. There is a smaller galcier at the back of the hotel, with several trails to explore the area. A restaurant, gas station and its shop across the road.

    What a sweet hotel! It is in a perfect location to visit the national park via the Skaftafell entrance, where there are many excellent hikes. The staff is friendly and helpful, and pointed out the cool and easy trail behind the hotel that goes to the glaciers, with great views. The room was comfortable and quiet, with nice beds. The restaurant is open again (hooray), and we had a great meal there for dinner, as well as a very nice (included) breakfast.

    It's one of the 2 hotels we stayed in Iceland. In that area you don't have too many options. But nevertheless the stay turned out to be perfect stay. We arrived a bit early around 15:00; they let us check-in early. Then we did a short hike to glacier behind the hotel. (It's a must if you have time) The room was good; beds were comfy. Breakfast is one of the best we had in Iceland.

    We were greeted in an absolutely lovely way. The room was clean and had everything one needs. The food in the evening was delicious and exactly what we were looking for- as well as the breakfast in the morning. THE BEST is the glacier right behind the hotel, just a short walk away. The greatest ending one could have for the end of the day.

    Wonderful place! The restaurant, while a bit expensive, served us wonderful food, perfect after a day of exploring. On top of that, 15 min walk behind the hotel allows you to see two glaciers and wonderful views. The best part was definitely chatting with Pedro, an exceptional receptionist and a great guy!

    Service was excellent. We were reaching late and the hotel staff asked me if they want me to keep some lunch packs ready as restaurant will get closed by the time we arrive. Breakfast was decent. The trail to glacier just behind hotel is amazing !!

    Hotel was well located in the national park with a nice view of the mountains. The room was sufficient for a couple even though it is not very big. You can park near your room so large luggages are not an issue.

    The hotel is set in a beautiful location close to a glacier which you can walk to in about 15 mins. The rooms were a good size and clean, and the buffet breakfast offered a very good selection.

    The hotel has a lovely view of the glaciers and was a 4 minute drive to the entrance of the national park. Good breakfast, which is included, and dinner was exceptional.

    Excellent location! Room was small, but clean. Took a stroll behind the hotel to see the glacier, which as receded quite a bit, but the walk was still very scenic.

    Amazing food! Really exceptional meal in the evening. Quite a surprise given the slightly dated ski lodge feel of the hotel.
