While the hotel caters to local business meetings and tourist groups, the facilities are excellent for individuals traveling in Iceland. Staff was super friendly. Views are spectacular. Great sites are within an easy drive.

Hotel Selfoss is a beautiful hotel. The views of the Ulfosa River from the dining area and rooms is stunning. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. It was also nice to return from a a day of sightseeing to the hotel bar's Happy Hour!

This is a great hotel for a stay in Selfoss. Easy to find beautiful location and the dining area is beautiful over looking the river. Do not expect large beds we had 2 twins that were pushed together but very comfortable. Very quiet did not hear any noise in the room.

Our stay at Hotel Selfoss was comfortable and pleasant. While the hotel itself is fairly simple with no major frills, it offered everything we needed for a restful night. What really stood out was the lovely staff—everyone we interacted with was warm, friendly, and helpful, which made a big difference in our overall experience. A solid, reliable option for a short stay in the area.

The hotel is very centrally located with everything we needed - dining, grocery shopping - in close proximity. The breakfast buffet was lovely and copious - everything from Icelandic Skyr and oatmeal to "full English breakfast." The room was quite large and fully equipped. The blackout curtains could have been more effective.

The staff is very pleasant and helpful. It's located very close to shopping and a large grocery store. The hotel spa is very nice with a sauna, steam room, hot water pool, cold water dip, and relaxation room. No massages

Great experience overall!

The hot tub is only open a very limited amount of hours during the day (10:00 am-8:00 pm). Quite disappointing that we couldn’t use these facilities at all after a long day of driving and then an early departure…
