    A few chairs on the terrace would be great to enjoy the fantastic landscape also from outdoors.

    Nice remote place in the middle of nowhere - nevertheless easy to reach via a main road, with a good restaurant for breakfast & dinner. Very friendly staff.

    It is way too hot in the rooms facing sun at the noon (at least from may in advnace) but you can open the door whenever you want to get some fresh air.

    Good breakfast, small but comfy room, location is close to relevant sights. The possibility to open a door to kind of "balcony" from the room is a perk.

    Hygiene could be better. Triple rooms are small.

    Beautifully located in the vast middle of Icelandic nowhere. Great view. Standard breakfast buffet and the a la carte restaurant serves good food with friendly service. Our triple room was a bit small, with no real space to put your luggage, but they were redecorating rooms with a nice solution to that problem. Beds were very comfortable. The sink in our bathroom didn’t drain upon arrival and the doors of the shower cabin were really dirty on the lower part. When I reported it, it was dealt with adequately. Furthermore you’d expect the room to be a bit more luxurious for the nightly rate they charge.

    Nothing major, just the scrambled eggs at breakfast really need some improving, really not tasty which was a bit of a bummer.

    The location is really great, close enough to the main road, but with a feeling you're more remote due to the surroundings. Great restaurant, we had a very tasty dinner and breakfast was quite good as well. Good size room, with the ability to step immediately outside to the "wilderness" from an external room door which was convenient to search for the lights and come right back into the room.

    Amazing location, very remote. Huge windows through which we watched the aurora. In a very windy area which was interesting during a wind storm! Lovely staff and relaxing environment Comfy bed

    Shower enclosure is pretty tight if you are used to US standards. If you are a larger person you will be against the glass.

    Excellent facility and great staff support. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was great! Staff were also very friendly and helpful. Location made sense to us because we had an ice cave trip about an hour from there the next day.

    The wind that comes to the parking lot is really scary is not really a thing about the hotel, is just the spot where it’s located, we had a lot of trouble sleeping because of the wind noices and had a really bad sleep both days

    I liked the arquitecture and the closeness to the glaciar, also the breakfast is amazing I loved it, the girl from the reception was also super nice

    As with most of Iceland the food was expensive. The buffet was okay but very pricey for the selection provided.

    The modern single story hotel is stylish but very comfortable. The room was spatious and nicely styled. The location directly off route 1 was really convenient but is remote enough to feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.

    Room size could have been bigger

    Hotel Fosshotel Nupar kalfafell is a hidden gem amidst nature's beauty, offering a serene escape surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. The well-appointed rooms and prime location provide the perfect setting for witnessing the mesmerizing northern lights. Additionally, the sumptuous breakfast spread and the genuine warmth of the staff elevate the stay, creating unforgettable memories for those seeking tranquility in the heart of nature. During my visit, we experienced exceptional service from the front desk staff, especially night shift. staff When a minor issue arose with our room's lights, a staff member promptly sprang into action, demonstrating remarkable dedication and efficiency. Moreover, he had resolved our room heater issue when he addressed that our room was not getting heated up as the heater wasn't on, as the temperature outside was freezing. Staff swift response not only resolved the situation but also underscored the hotel's commitment to guest comfort and satisfaction. Though the triple sharing rooms were smaller in size, the serene location made us forget about any space constraints, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of our surroundings. Our stay at Hotel Fosshotel Nupar was nothing short of magical, thanks to its idyllic setting, impeccable service, and unwavering dedication to guest satisfaction.

    Good Rest Stop on the ring road.

    The restaurant has a very limited menu (a common thing when in Iceland especially when out of city areas). This is an older hotel; creaky floors in the hallways. The room safe was placed in an inconvenient. The shower is small but gets the job done.

    This hotel is a good mid ring road rest stop. There is nothing else around it. The views are fantastic. The breakfast was a good buffet that had plenty of hot and cold options. This is a fantastic location for hunting aurora however they do not offer a aurora wake up service.

    There was a little confusion on our room number when billing out our dinner. We were told the room number we gave wasn't our room number. It was our room number but we just paid with a credit card instead. Not a big deal.

    Staff were very friendly. They supplied multiple outlet adapters. We were given a room far from everyone else so we had lots of privacy. The breakfast had a lot of variety and was good. Great view of the surrounding mountains.
