Really enjoyed our stay here. We were three friends travelling and had booked a family room. Property upgraded us to a room with four beds . Was awesome. Dinner required reservations or notice prior but we used nearby cafe for one night. Great breakfast included . Location was good for Vatnajokull visit and Diamon Beach.

Great location with hiking trails to glaciers at back door and helpful staff.

Good location, helpful staff, but very small room, expensive restaurant onsite.

Great hotel

Great helpful

Room was great! Room was clean, and comfortable. We were in a newly updated room. This place did have the best breakfast compared to the other places we stayed at. It also had a beautiful walking trail.

Breakfast buffet was awesome! Staff very helpful when we needed ice, travel advice, etc. Room was tiny but clean. Glacier behind the hotel was a bonus!

Better than expected for a hotel stay but certainly fewer amenities than an aparthotel; stayed in new building at the back - room small but comfortable with good bathroom - extremely friendly and helpful front desk staff - decent breakfast with hot and cold options - hiking trail to glacier right behind the hotel - beautiful setting - a hot tub would have been nice after hiking in the national park :)

Clean room and nice staff. Shower is bit small. Good place to stay.

Hotel Skaftafell was a good stay for us mainly because of the location. It was the most convenient choice for being near our glacier hike the next morning, and it was also easy to drive back to after our Zodiac boat tour at Glacier Lagoon. For that part of the trip, the location was perfect. The included breakfast was really good and had a nice variety. We also had dinner at the attached restaurant the night before. It was pricey, but the food was delicious. The kids’ menu was not great, but the staff were very kind and let us come in to eat even though we arrived only about five minutes before the end of seating. The room itself was small, and the beds were just okay. There was nothing especially memorable about the room, but it worked fine for a short stay. There is also a gas station with a really good grill fairly close by, which was convenient. Overall, this hotel was a practical and helpful stop because of the location, breakfast, restaurant, and easy access to the glacier activities we had planned.
