Fosshotel Hellnar

Tiny room for such price point. There is no kettle and basic amenities inside the room. Not enough storage area. We can’t barely open our luggages. Not recommended.

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.

Amazing views from the breakfast room / restaurant. Staff really kind and helpful. Cosy and quiet, even in the cliff top location. A great base for walkers, birdwatchers, and nature lovers.

An excellent fosshotel to stay at with amazing views of Stapafell mountain. Take a walk down to the harbour, when staying here. The front desk staff are very helpful, our room had a nice comfortable bed, with a good sized bathroom. Breakfast was very good at this hotel

We booked the hotel for honeymoon and was given a surprise. Great hotel with nice view and location. We certainly enjoyed our stay.

Overall great value given the remote location. Friendly and helpful staff. The bathrooms could use air ventilation.

the rooms are small, some of the rooms have to be accessed by going through the restaurant which is odd.
