Top Skaftafell Visitor Centre Hotel Reviews
Fosshotel Núpar
8/10 Good
"Friendly staff. Just off main ringroad but quiet. Food was very good."
Old Cottage - Reynivellir II
8/10 Good
"The property is a little run down but it has everything you need. We stayed on the first floor, the bathroom and the shower worked fine. Some of the old reviews we looked at talked about issues that it looks like have been fixed. We had multiple power outlets in our room. You could hear folks on the second floor above but they quieted down before long. The kitchen area and common area is nice and they provided coffee to make which was great for the morning. It is about an hour from Skaftafell Park which is mostly convenient. I saw to check in at the hotel so that was not an issue. I think the price could be a bit less for what you get. Below $200/night and this would be a 5/5 review."
Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon
10/10 Excellent
"This is a great hotel in a great location."
Hótel Jokulsarlon - Glacier Lagoon Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"We wish we had more time to stay at this property during our trek around Iceland's Ring Road. The accommodations were beautiful, staff were super friendly and helpful, the restaurant was one of the best meals we had during our 2-week trip, and the hot tubs overlooking the beautiful landscape were an extremely nice touch. We will definitely stay again if we find ourselves back in Iceland in the future!"
Stracta Apartments
8/10 Good
"Clean, reasonable size. Very basic and smaller than pictures. Missing off things (utensils, plates, etc) which would have made it better (had some but not enough). Very small bathroom and slow WiFi. 10 minute drive down a gravel road to get there from the main road. Nothing else nearby, very isolated and no facilities on site. Underwhelming, expected more for the money we paid."
Old Cottages
8/10 Good
"We are family of 4, and wanted to stay near Diamond beach and the glacial lagoon. This property is 10 min drive away. Spacious functional stand-alone house with separate bedroom, living room and kitchen. Cute and unique. Quiet and nice surrounding with waterfall walking distance. Received two instructions to checked-in, one to drive 3km away to get code, and another to checked in directly using given code. Wanted to make sure, hence drove the distance to get the code, turned out the same. Some heating radiators, as well as hair dryer not working well. No extra rubbish disposal bag. No washing machine nor dish washer. No slippers. No shampoo nor conditioners. Small and cold toilet and shower area. Not cheap either. Use this as place to stay the night, if necessary."
Hotel Skaftafell
10/10 Excellent
"Great helpful"
Guesthouse Gerði
10/10 Excellent
"Nice stay"
Dalshöfði Guesthouse
8/10 Good
"The stay was fine and pretty much what I expected—basic but adequate. The room was clean, and everything throughout the property was acceptable and well maintained. The room did get quite hot, which made sleeping a little less comfortable. One thing to be aware of is the access road. The hotel is reached via about 6 km of rough, rocky road, which requires very slow driving and can be a bit frustrating. If you’re concerned about your rental car or prefer paved roads, this is worth considering. Overall, we had no major complaints, and the hotel delivered a decent stay. That said, given the exceptionally high reviews, I was expecting something more memorable. It was perfectly fine, clean, and comfortable enough, but it didn’t quite live up to the outstanding reputation suggested by the ratings."
