The location is perfect and ideally located close to the glacier, easy access and yet secluded. Clean, functionable and well thought out layout. Owner is very responsive. We enjoyed the use of the terrace and the large windows to watch sunset and spot the northern lights from. Would definitely stay here again.
Set next to Hof turf church, this hotel offers an on-site restaurant and free WiFi. Skaftafell National Park is 15 minutes' drive away from the hotel. Cape of Ingolfshöfdi is 3 km away.

Love the breakfast spread provided. Booked the hotel due to its close location to Jokulsarlon & Diamond Beach. Love the room.
stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail,...
stunning, make sure you walk all the way down the trail, there are two other gorgeous waterfalls that a lot of people missed by not going all the way to end end of the trail (which is only a few hundred meters long).

This is an amazing place to hike and see some glorious views - especially on a clear day - which can be a bit tricky. We were extremely fortunate to have some of the the sunniest days recorded. Could not ask for a more comfortable hike. There are glacier hikes that you can pay for but honestly parking at the Park and hiking up yourself is something you will not soon forget. Not too laborious, but you defintely feel like you are exercising. Loved every minute of this hike and I wish I could have stayed longer.

Sadly we only had a day in Skaftafell and I wish we had more time to explore the national park. What we did see was stunning. Nature, hikes, glaciers and ocean all within a stones throw of each other. Well worth a longer visit than just to pass through.

Tremendous family run generational local property.
Tremendous family run generational local property. Gorgeous setting and very close to National Park. Great path in rear of property leading to amazing glacier views and outlet lagoon. Lovely dinner and dessert! Friendly, warm staff. Great relaxing indoor bar and outdoor patio with stunning glacier views. Thank you, Hotel Skaftafell!!!
Cosy and clean room. Comfortable beds. Restaurant served excellent breakfast and dinner. Vatnajokull Glacier can be clearly seen from the hotel room, and you can walk to the national park from the hotel. Many day trips start from the skaftafell terminal tour center which is near the hotel. Good location to spot aurora during winter.
the best hotel we want to in iceland! perfect location on the ring road in the middle of nowhere, but there’s a onsite restaurant and gas station. the surrounding nature is absolutely wonderful and there’s a nice walk to do behind the hotel, to a glacier lookout viewpoint!
we saw northern lights there and the staff was helpful.
Staff were all lovely. Hotel is functional, rooms are adequate. Most importantly the showers work! Of course, this is an amazing location for Skaftafell-area adventures, only a 5-minute drive from the visitor centre parking.
Restaurant was very high-quality and surprisingly affordable, by Iceland standards.
Wonderful place! The restaurant, while a bit expensive, served us wonderful food, perfect after a day of exploring. On top of that, 15 min walk behind the hotel allows you to see two glaciers and wonderful views. The best part was definitely chatting with Pedro, an exceptional receptionist and a great guy!
Breakfast was lovely. The location is amazing. We went for a spontaneous walk and found a glacier tongue just behind the hotel. It is signposted and wort the small hike. We saw the northern lights as this and the garage over the road is the only building for miles. The beds were comfy and rooms warm.
We really appreciated how helpful Pablo was - he checked us in, gave us recommendations for a glacier tour, and was overall super friendly. Dinner and buffet breakfast in the hotel were both delicious. Was a great place to stop during our ring road trip.
it provides basic hotel amenities in the room, but we get to witness aurora here!! you can take a short hike to get to Svinafellsjokull glacier tongue, it was shorter than the one that you should get if you want to see Svinafelsjokull
Medium-sized, family-run hotel. Friendly staff. Pleasant, clean, functionally furnished rooms. Average breakfast. There is not much accomodation choice in Skaftafell if you want to make a glacier tour from there.
We liked the location, it was close to the glacier and the walk behind the hotel was interesting. It was easy to find. We had a lovely dinner at the gourmet restaurant that night and it was very good.
The hotel has a lovely view of the glaciers and was a 4 minute drive to the entrance of the national park. Good breakfast, which is included, and dinner was exceptional.
Excellent location!
Room was small, but clean.
Took a stroll behind the hotel to see the glacier, which as receded quite a bit, but the walk was still very scenic.
