This was by far my favorite hotel in Iceland. They have an amazing spa with outdoor hot tubs and saunas that look out to the ocean. The staff was amazing. The restaurant was amazing 13 out of 10 no notes on this hotel. I stayed in seven hotels in Iceland, and this was by far my favorite.

Beautiful hotel, and really delicious food! We had an amazing dinner onsite, breakfast morning included a good spread of options. Would absolutely recommend this hotel. Just note- if you’re someone looking for snacks along the way on a self drive, the closest gas station / snack station is about 25-30 minutes away. There is nothing close to the hotel. So get your gas and bring some snacks before you get there. Otherwise, your food option is at the hotel and food there is pricey.

If I event make it back to Iceland, we will ONLY stay at the Foss Hotels. This was magnificent! The sauna and hot tubs were so clean and nice, the restaurant is 5 star and was our splurge for the trip, worth every penny. The entire hotel is absolutely beautiful. The beds were the most comfortable and we stayed at 7 hotels over our 10 day stay. This is the only place we felt comfortable to shower without sandals. The cost is more than reasonable considering we paid the same everywhere else and questioned everything we touched. The waterfall out back is worth the little hike through the gate, it was so beautiful. We saw rainbows at dinner and it feels like a little piece of heaven hidden in Iceland. I would love to see the other Foss Hotels and will be recommending this to everyone who travels there. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

Great overnight pit stop after our glacier hike! The hotel provided a complimentary drink voucher to use at the bar - perfect after a long day. The room was spacious, clean and well stocked (robe and slippers provided). Lots of free parking outside. Would stay again!

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.
