Fosshótel Stykkishólmur

Stay somewhere else. We stay all over the world. We usually do have a “budget friendly” night which is what this was for us… and I wish I had spent our money elsewhere. Everything needs a thorough clean. The bathrooms especially are dilapidated, and the grout lines were so gross…. The mattresses were literally like sleeping on box springs. I wish I were exaggerating. You’d find better mattresses in a jail, I’d wager. If you thought “oh, it would be nice to sit in the lobby with friends/ family and enjoy a snack/lunch”. Think again. They will not allow food unless it’s ordered in their restaurant, or in your room. No eating whatsoever in the lobby areas. Which seemed weird honestly. The whole experience left something to be desired, and I regret that we booked here.

For traveling to the peninsula, there were very limited options for accommodations. We had a great 2-night stay here. The customer service was very friendly and helpful. I contacted them multiple times in advance and they responded quickly. They were also flexible if we needed additional things while we stayed. Definitely a good option for coming to the peninsula and being able to drive all the way around, with this hotel as a good base. The beds weren't the most comfortable, but the room was clean and met our needs. Don't forget to say hi to the kitty, Blinky that sits in the doorway area!

We stayed in the wheelchair accessible room which was spacious and included a small refrigerator. There was plenty of room to roll the wheelchair around and in the bathroom. A shower stool was also in the room which was quite helpful. Although we brought our own shower stool, we did not need it here as the hotel supplied one met our needs quite well. Breakfast was very good and the staff worked hard to be helpful. It was clear that they wanted what was best for us. We were even advised of a weather warning as we checked out. This was appreciated. Should our travels lead us here again, we would definitely stay here again|Thank you!

Upon arrival the staff were very polite and helpful. I reserved my room online so my check in was very easy. ||My room was very clean and they were kind enough to give me a room away from the hotel kitchen traffic and noises. ||Check out was very easy and I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Stykkisshulmer.

Nice practical hotel. Rather expensive for what feels like an upgraded motel, but this is Iceland. Our room faced the church/bay side so the view was spectacular. The rooms are clean, but our shower drain did not work well so the shower runs over into the bathroom when you shower for more than a few minutes. |Breakfast was good but given the large size of the hotel, breakfast was rather crowded in the morning. |Staff was friendly and helpful.

Fosshótel Stykkishólmur was fantastic! Our room was really comfortable and the view was absolutely stunning. We were lucky enough to see our first Northern Lights right from there, which was unforgettable. On top of that, the breakfast was amazing and a perfect start to the day.

The hotel is located right next to the Stykkishólmskirkja Church, and around 10-15mins walk to the city centre/ferry terminal. It is a convenient stop for us travelling from the north to the west side of Iceland. The hotel room has a nice view. Basic amenities are available. The shower room is only separated from the toilet by a ‘moveable’ glass and water might spill elsewhere when you shower. Overall a decent stay.

We enjoyed lovely views from our room and tried out the restaurant in the evening. Service was prompt and food excellent. However we were disappointed that no TV service was possible in our room. Several people attempted to rectify this to no avail. Reception staff were most apologetic but no recompense was offered, rather disappointing.
