Great stay nearby Hof. We stayed here for one night. Room was clean and washroom was spacious and tidy. We enjoyed our stay here a lot. We also went on for a walk to nearby church.

I would definitely stay here again! I traveled with my mom and the room was perfect for two people. Would recommend staying here if you plan on being in the Skaftafell area. Dinner was convenient and good for the area we were in.

Comfortable apartment with good location close to beautiful sights. Coffee, tea and some spices were available for use, so no need to buy them for a short stay.

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).

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 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.

Tremendous family run generational local property.
Tremendous family run generational local property. Gorgeous setting and very close to National Park. Great path in rear of property leading to amazing glacier views and outlet lagoon. Lovely dinner and dessert! Friendly, warm staff. Great relaxing indoor bar and outdoor patio with stunning glacier views. Thank you, Hotel Skaftafell!!!
A very well run Hotel with friendly staff and everything you could need. We were looking up to the snow capped mountains from our room which was generous in size and good facilities. Breakfast was varied and had some Icelandic dishes which i loved! Didn't eat an evening meal in the Hotel but the DIner over the road which again was very good with a more simpler menu but the food was filling. Gas pumps only took UK Credit card not debit so make sure you've got one spare! I would recommend this hotel.
Lovely people at this very clean hotel situated strategically a 10-40 minutes drive from great waterfalls and icebergs. Just a 15 minutes walk behind the hotel is a Svinafellsjökull Iceberg. We stayed two nights in the beginning of April and caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights. The food is excellent, both breakfast buffet and dinner. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Skaftafell, it was well located for our road trip out to the Vatnajokull glacier. We found the staff helpful and the room clean and comfortable. The scenery around the hotel was very nice.
We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and thought the standard was very high. We also enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel.
great location as 6 minutes from the National park. the glacier is right behind the hotel. didn’t take that route as we didn’t have enough time. room is good size and enjoyed it has wooden floors as carpets don’t make sense for Iceland weather. breakfast was typical Scandinavian style. no lox though. would stay again for the location.
the best hotel we want to in iceland! perfect location on the ring road in the middle of nowhere, but there’s a onsite restaurant and gas station. the surrounding nature is absolutely wonderful and there’s a nice walk to do behind the hotel, to a glacier lookout viewpoint!
we saw northern lights there and the staff was helpful.
The staff was very accommodating. The surrounding location was stunning and everything was perfect for our group. Breakfast and our one dinner was delicious as well. Also, on our 2nd stay with you all it was so touching to see the hotel put up so many travelers due to the roads being closed due to the wind.
The property was clean, comfortable and quiet. The hotel was a very short distance from the ice glaciers and we walked for 2 hours to see them up close. We went for dinner at night and food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was really good with a variety of choices.
We (pre-)booked a glacier hike tour in the glacier and a boat tour on the jökülsalon. So location is great. The burger shop at the gas station is ok, they also sell some food. You can also eat in the hotel which was very crowded each evening.
cozy family owned hotel. the rooms are exactly how they appear online. at the back of the hotel there’s a trail that leads to a small lake and mountains- we enjoyed that. breakfast had the most amazing croissants!
Breakfast was nice. Also English breakfast. The room was clean, nice place to stay. And the best is glacier 15 min walk right behind the hotel. No problem with parking. Cattle and tea, coffee in the room DIY.
It was a decent room, nothing special. The location was very helpful for our tour in Iceland. Right across the hotel was a gas station, where we bought some snacks and drinks. The beds were super comfy.
Very friendly staff. Superb location near Skaftafell National Park with a brilliant walk to a glacier from the hotel. Quality of the food in the restaurant was excellent.
