Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

10/10 Excellent
"We are doing the full circle of Island and this hotel was the fourth hotel and I can confidently say that this hotel is the best. This hotel is truly 4.5 star hotel. The front desk staff were very courteous and helpful. The room was well lit and had power plugs next to bed for convenient overnight charging of our iPhones. The shower was nice with good drainage but I wish they had shower door. It splashed water all over bathroom floor without the door. The highlight of our stay was dining experience. The breakfast was excellent and staff worked hard and all of them very courteous. The dinner staff were the best. They were all kind and friendly. We stayed at this hotel 3 days and have no complaints. Highly recommended."

Guesthouse Gerði

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean with a nice view of the coastal area with grazing sheep just outside. The food at the restaurant was top notch and locally sourced. The outside of the guesthouse was eclectic with a main check in and housing area with a connected dining area, and a long building with several rooms as well as some newer looking separate cabins. We stayed in the long building in a triple that had 3 twin beds. The room was clean and everything worked well. The people that worked there were extremely courteous, helpful and friendly. I would stay there again. I thought that it was a value considering the prices that rooms on this part of Iceland go for."

"Clean and no frills hotel used during our road-trip through Iceland. Received instructions on how to pick up keys at a different location. We didn't realize that the bathroom was to be shared (knew about the kitchen). Water temperature was confusing as it immediately became extremely hot and then cold if you are not careful."
