    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...

    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...

    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.

    It’s the only place near the entrance of the National park, but other reviews said it wasn’t that good….but I was VERY happy there. REALLY great hike right behind the hotel (to a glacier) and super nice staff and happy hour and nice lobby and totally acceptable rooms. Not luxury but totally nice and clean and good. The other review was wrong.

    Gorgeous location, great food, friendly staff! And the hotel had a service where it offered to call guests in the night if any northern lights were spotted. Sure enough after we had fallen asleep, we got a wake up call a few hours later to see an incredible aurora display. Can’t say enough good things about this place!

    The property was clean, comfortable and quiet. The hotel was a very short distance from the ice glaciers and we walked for 2 hours to see them up close. We went for dinner at night and food was delicious. Staff were very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was really good with a variety of choices.

    Room was very generic for the price. During our trip, we paid much less for much better accommodations. The beds were very old and soft compared to other hotels thus far. Not sure I can agree with the the Bookings.com recommendation on this one.

    The staff is friendly, super helpful and accommodating. Location was perfect. Breakfast was great and the restaurant across the road has delicious dinners. Added bonus was the short hike to view the glacier from the hotel.

    The hotel is set in a beautiful location close to a glacier which you can walk to in about 15 mins. The rooms were a good size and clean, and the buffet breakfast offered a very good selection.
