We had a nice short stop in Skaftafell. We arrived after 8PM and left by 830AM the next morning, but the hotel had everything we needed. They served a nice breakfast (we did not have dinner as we stopped in the prior town for dinner). The people at check-in were very friendly and had good advice on the trail right out the back up to the glaciers where you could go for a morning hike/run to see the glacier up close.

We stayed here after one of our glacier hikes. It had everything you would need. The showers in the bathroom was a bit small. Other than that it was an overall good stay.

Stayed for one night during vacation in March. Was a perfect stop on the drive along the ring road. Nice staff, easy check in, free parking, safe and clean. The rooms have lots of beds (perfect if you have a family with you), and it was super comfy. The hotel even offered to call our room if they saw the northern lights, and THEY DID! Our phone rang at 11PM to alert us so we could go outside! It was the only time we got to see them so we were so appreciative, what a kind gesture! Would stay again. Has a small upstairs area with a patio that looks back out at the mountain behind the property, perfect for happy hour. Has a restaurant with a lovely menu. Perfect stay!
