Fosshotel Hellnar

The dinner at the restaurant was really outstanding... amazing food with a great view. My room smelled a little musty but was otherwise very nice, spacious and clean. Front desk staff very helpful. Lovely common spaces, beautiful sea view from the room and restaurant. No elevator so I had to drag my heavy luggage down a few stairs.

The hotel boasts a remarkably convenient location, just a 10-minute drive from Djúpalónssandur Beach and Arnarstapi. Positioned near the Arnarstapi hiking viewing point, it offers captivating ocean vistas from the dining room, and a mere five-minute stroll from the trail leads you to the ocean's edge. During our stay, we were delighted to spot an Icelandic fox in the hotel's backyard on our final evening. Additionally, the hotel provides an outstanding breakfast and delectable dinner options within its restaurant. The staff, noted for their exceptional friendliness, surpassed our expectations, marking this as one of the most hospitable experiences we've encountered in our seven visits to Iceland, having stayed at numerous hotels and guesthouses.||||Pros:||1. Superb Location||2. Breathtaking Views from Rooms and Dining Area||3. Exceptionally Friendly Staff||4. Enjoyable Dining Experience||||Cons:||1. Double rooms are compact, though consistent with the norm for Icelandic hotels. A modern ambiance would enhance the setting.||2. Modern bathroom design would be a welcomed addition.||3. The cumbersome traditional key necessitates constant carriage, rather than the convenience of electronic swipe keys.||4. Doors can produce loud closing noises, potentially disrupting tranquility.

Fabulous two night stay. Stylish & refined with a country cottage feel to it. Gorgeous ocean & mountain views. The staff were outstanding- helpful & kind in every way. The dinner was fantastic. Breakfast was included & was exceptional. The rooms very nice, clean, comfortable & cozy. The room size did not affect us in any way. We loved it! 😍

This hotel is in the middle of nowhere. There are a few lovely nearby towns with services but there is nothing here so you almost must eat in and the prices are extraordinary! Check in was quick and easy. As the hotel overlooks the ocean we were hopeful for a view but alas we were in a room facing the carpark! |The roommates is quite nice. The bathroom looks good and is a good size however the water pressure is terrible!|We stayed for two nights and were told if we want the room services or new towels we must let them know!

Very kind and helpful staff! Well equipped rooms. Absolutely stunning view. Breakfast is tasty, convenient, and reasonably priced. Dinner is pricier, but delicious

very nice location for the sea view - if obtained -||Quite isolated, we liked it. Satisfactory catering, nothing more.||Sufficient comfort despite Wi-Fi and heating outages resolved within 2 to 10 hours.

Nice hotel with views to the beach and the glacier. If its windy and rainy you feel a little exposed but the hotel is nice and cozy especially if you stay at the main building. The restaurant is good but pricey. The service is great. The rooms are nice and clean. The bathrooms are big and functional. The water pressure could be better. Would stay there afain
