Convenient hotel in beautiful fjord

There are not many hotels in this region and Foss is a quality nation-wide brand. This seems to be usually used for tour groups but the location is beautiful for anyone looking to visit the bird cliffs, red sand beach or other attractions in the area. Be aware that the rooms that face the fjord also face the road, which is busy and as there is no A/C, if the window is open for air, you will hear street noise.

Boring chain. We had 15 lovely guest houses or family hotels in Iceland we loved. But this place was just drab. Too corporate. Zero charm. Unfortunately it was th only place available.

Could have been cleaner

The floors in my room were dirty. It had dust and hair balls along the edges of the wall. The people at the front desk was very helpful and kind.

Das Hotel war in Ordnung. Freundliches Personal, gutes Frühstück, zentrale Lage. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Sauberkeit in den Zimmern allerdings verbesserungswürdig, das bekannte Problem mit den Duschvorhängen hatten wir auch.

A nice hotel conveniently located near restaurants, groceries, and the harbor. Wonderfully friendly staff. Large rooms with private baths. I didn't pay for the breakfast because it was ridiculously expensive for what is offered, so don't know if it is good. Overall, a nice hotel in a lovely town.

Good chain-hotel, clean, and you get what you expect from Fosshotels. The drawback is that the breakfast is OK, but not always quality ingredients, also the dinner was very expensive for a small portion and not even good quality. p.s. In the town is a much better place for dinner.

Such an outstanding hotel in Iceland - Fosshotel Westfjords. We had a group of wedding professionals at World Class Wedding Venues - Say "I Do" Worldwide - touring Iceland searching wedding ideas for brides and grooms wanting to get married or take their honeymoon in Iceland. The Westfjords are outstanding! World Class Wedding Venues team of wedding experts traveled through picture perfect postcard settings. The Westfjords Fosshotel is a perfect place for couples or wedding guests wanting to escape the busy city and explore virgin lands of Iceland. Amazing time our wedding team had at the FossHotel Westfjords - thank you so much for having a friendly, welcoming team who always greeted us with a smile! World Class Wedding Venues
