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.

The rooms are very nice and cozy especially after being out on the road. The restaurant and bar are amazing amenities to have just steps away with delicious drinks, breakfast, and dinner options. The staff is all so friendly.

We had a great stay at the end of our trip, rooms are comfortable and clean. They have a great restaurant, one of the best dinners we had in Iceland. The breakfast is also good.

Larger hotel in a tourist town but a good stop esp. given it is on one of the peninsulas. Older hotel, you DEFINITELY need reservations if you want to eat in their restaurant, even though 3/4 of the restaurant was EMPTY. Hint: excellent local restaurants in the town! Rooms a bit tight and dated but comfortable. Be sure to see the local cat that naps in the hotel vestibule! They have a banquet hall, so local and tourist busses might be there more than other hotels. Great breakfast with sunrise views in the wall of windows looking out to the sea! Be sure not to bring your own snacks down to the bar area. They will ask you to put them away. Hint: just buy their snacks!!!

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.

Only stayed on night while touring the peninsula. Stunning location, lovely fishing village that feels traditional, but has good facilities. Hotel was very comfortable & great location. Friendly staff & good buffet breakfast. Highly recommended.

A beautifully located hotel, where you get a standard room if you are solo. You do need to pay attention to the price, because the price for one person is higher than for two. This seems to be somewhat standard within the Fosshotel group. ​The breakfast is perfect, as always, and so is the staff. ​Also, take the opportunity to greet the guard when you enter. The guard is, namely, a white cat. ​The city center is also within walking distance, as are a Bonus supermarket and restaurants.

We returned to Fosshotel Stykkishólmur after a year, and unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment.|Breakfast was fine and almost unchanged, but dinner was terrible. The zucchini noodles were extremely spicy and salty, the pasta was overcooked, and the beef was nearly well-done. We even canceled the dessert and decided to eat elsewhere for the remaining days.||The rooms were not properly cleaned – water stains, dust, and even hair on the bedding. The bathroom smelled bad, like a toilet. The restaurant manager was a loud and annoying girl, which made the atmosphere even worse.||Hotel management was nowhere to be found – we stayed for three days and never saw anyone we could talk to about the issues.||The only positive thing I can mention is the friendly receptionist lady.
