The hotel is perfectly set on the Iceland's ring road between Skaftafell and Vík, so a great location for staying on your road trip. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and very clean. All rooms have balcony, which is nice for taking some fresh air. Our family was accommodated in rooms just next to each other as requested, which made our stay easier. Restaurant is very good and we've spent a great night together enjoying nice meals in its comfortable area. Breakfast was very good with various options for a great start of the day. Staff was nice and unobtrusive.

It is a pricey option, but may other options were already fully booked.

The location is ideal, in the midst of the important sites of Iceland, and the staff was extremely efficient and nice.

It is really not ideal to have this pervasive fad of a comforter covered in sheeting, as it is too warm in summer, so I kept waking up either cold from tossing it off or excessively warm if covered with one. Finally, I used the bath towel and a scarf to cover myself and fell asleep for a few more hours. Everyone uses them here in Iceland and at home, so it is a general comment for all hotels, and is not specific to this very nice hotel.

Comfortable beds, pretty much in the center of town or within walking distance to it, depending what you’re looking for. A small on-site parking lot out back, where we were luckily able to snag a spot for our one night there.

Exterior looks quite beaten down and a bit sketchy, I was a little worried walking up to it, but it’s perfectly nice inside. Not sure why their hot water had such a strong sulphuric smell compared to Hotel Odinsve nearby, which did not. And the room was really very cramped. But it was fine for a quick sleep before our flight home.

We booked the superior double room having read reviews about small rooms. We did not experience this with our room. The room was really spacious with lots of space to store our luggage and hang our clothes. The bathroom was spotless and a very good size with a rainfall shower. The breakfast was the best we had in Iceland. A delightful selection of both hot and cold to cater for all tastes. Great location for exploring further afield.

Due to the unseasonal mild weather, there were quite a few puddles in the car park that can not be seen when it’s dark. This unfortunately led to wet feet.

The bed was really comfortable. Room and bathroom very clean, and great shower. There was a mini fridge in the room, so we could store some food. In the room, there was some complementary tea and coffee, and we enjoyed it in the evening. There was a private terrace in front of the room.

We chose the place because of the location close to the glacier, and we knew in advance that there was a hotel without a shhared kitchen, so we could not cook. If preferred, there is a restaurant for dinner and breakfast in the hotel.

Our overall stay was good, the room rate was decent but breakfast was not included. The property location is in the middle of nowhere which is perfect for northern lights viewing. We stayed for two nights of which the second night had higher KP index, so we saw northern lights right from the private balcony. We slept the entire night with drapes open and staring at the pretty lights right from the window on a cozy bed. Loved the stay!!

Breakfast was not included in the rate and $18 for per person felt expensive.

Beautifully located in the vast middle of Icelandic nowhere. Great view. Standard breakfast buffet and the a la carte restaurant serves good food with friendly service. Our triple room was a bit small, with no real space to put your luggage, but they were redecorating rooms with a nice solution to that problem. Beds were very comfortable. The sink in our bathroom didn’t drain upon arrival and the doors of the shower cabin were really dirty on the lower part. When I reported it, it was dealt with adequately. Furthermore you’d expect the room to be a bit more luxurious for the nightly rate they charge.

Hygiene could be better. Triple rooms are small.

This hotel is very near Katla Geopark, Skaftafell, Vatnajokull, Jokulsarlon and the Diamond beach. For us it was a great option since we had excursions near that area, so it was a very easy decision. The room had an amazing view and the room also had a back door where you could step out and just admire the scenic view of mountains and snow (in our case there still was snow outside). I must say we were upgraded because I let them know this was my honeymoon trip! They were so nice at front desk and providing this sweet gesture for our Honeymoon in our room, we had 2 small bottles of wine, and a very nice post card congratulating us. This was the only hotel of my 14 day tour around Europe that did this nice thing for us! So a BIG thank you for that! Another thing, I want to give a shout out to Paul at from desk! As we were driving from Reykjavik, I emailed the hotel to prepare dinner boxes for us before the kitchens close (9:30PM), and when we arrived he immediately told me the boxes were being prepared as we spoke! Just excellent service, I'm so thankful! HUGE Thanks to the team involved!

I loved everything, I just want to mention that we did notice that perhaps the bathroom wasn't very well swept..?? Like I could see tiny pieces of like dest, hair.. To be honest it didn't bother us, because everything else was spotless, just that little detail.

Hotel Fosshotel Nupar kalfafell is a hidden gem amidst nature's beauty, offering a serene escape surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The well-appointed rooms and prime location provide the perfect setting for witnessing the mesmerizing northern lights. Additionally, the sumptuous breakfast spread and the genuine warmth of the staff elevate the stay, creating unforgettable memories for those seeking tranquility in the heart of nature. During my visit, we experienced exceptional service from the front desk staff, especially night shift. staff When a minor issue arose with our room's lights, a staff member promptly sprang into action, demonstrating remarkable dedication and efficiency. Moreover, he had resolved our room heater issue when he addressed that our room was not getting heated up as the heater wasn't on, as the temperature outside was freezing. Staff swift response not only resolved the situation but also underscored the hotel's commitment to guest comfort and satisfaction. Though the triple sharing rooms were smaller in size, the serene location made us forget about any space constraints, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of our surroundings. Our stay at Hotel Fosshotel Nupar was nothing short of magical, thanks to its idyllic setting, impeccable service, and unwavering dedication to guest satisfaction.

Room size could have been bigger

The food was great. The staff were very accommodating. The view of the glaciers was a bonus.

We could not do any washing. It is hard to find accommodation with laundry facilities in Iceland. Plan your stays in Iceland carefully with this in mind when booking accommodation. It is not close to any shops or restaurants, so if you want these, then this property is not your best option. We loved the peace and solitude of the location as well as the stunning views.
