The hotel was amazing overall—truly the life you deserve. The staff were incredibly nice, the property is beautiful, and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is spacious, and the spa being open late is a great bonus. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I wish I had stayed there one more day. This is the perfect hotel to end your South Iceland route.

We stayed 6 nites...more than the average visitor. We received the Aurora alert on the 2 nights it was visible. Staff was exceptional Front desk, Wait staff, bar tender and housekeeping. Restaurant was the only restaurant inside of 2 hours but we enjoyed the selections. Fresh, great taste and good variety. Our room faced the ocean and we could watch the storms come and go. Best location for the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach. (30 min. away). Large parking lot- they service bus groups year round. Foss Hotel chain has a great group of properties around the island. Recommend and would stay again.

Our stay at Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon was unforgettable. Check-in was seamless and handled with genuine care—excellent customer service from the start. Ordering food to-go was quick and easy, and the options were delicious and beautifully presented. The sauna and gym were clean, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Dinner was a highlight—especially the roasted vegetables and Icelandic lamb. Great service and a wonderful selection of drinks made the evening even better. We also spent time enjoying drinks while waiting for the aurora borealis, and the staff was incredibly accommodating throughout. And then—the grand finale—the northern lights appeared - subtle, but beautiful. After a storm and with another one approaching, it felt like such a gift. This hotel is truly the perfect place to experience Iceland’s magic.

Probably the best hotel I been too in Iceland and I booked over 5 hotels during my trip. Absolutely amazing hotel and next to a waterfall. We also sat down in the bar and had a drink. The bar/lounge area was so cozy. Rooms were clean and food/breakfast was amazing with very kind staff. I will def be booking this again when I’m in Iceland.
