B Blick auf den Gletscher

Gut gelegenes, modernes Hotel der in Island häufig vertretenen Kette Fosshotel. Von hier erreicht man einige Sehenswürdigkeiten problemlos mit dem Auto (z.B. den Diamond-Beach und die Gletscherlagune). In Höfn gibt es einige gute Restaurants. Das Fosshotel hat ebenfalls ein gutes Restaurant (die Speisekarte unterscheidet sich aber nicht sehr von anderen Fosshotels).

Wir hatten sehr viele kleine Insekten im Zimmer. Vielleicht wäre ein Moskitonetz eine gute Idee.

Veranda var helt fantastisk i aftensolen! Godt brød på morgenmadsbuffet.

Manglede myggenet for vinduerne.

Quiet location, stunning views

7.0

Great to have it at a quiet location with the road number one now being diverted. Excellent to have a (slow) charger for EVs in front of the hotel. Staff was friendly throughout

Value for Money was out of whack. The rooms felt quite dated.
