Hótel Selfoss

A wonderful place to stay! Great views, incredible breakfast bar. Highly recommend. My only issue was the hot water had a slight sulfur smell, but that’s because the water comes from the deep geothermal wells. So didn’t bother us. Would stay here again! Love from Kentucky!

The hotel was not new but was well maintained. The carpark space was just enough. There was a staff stationed in the front desk who handled all the matters orderly. Lift service was available. One side of the hotel was facing the mountain and the bridge which was very pleasant. Some parts outside the building were under repair. The buffet breakfast was satisfactory. More staff would be better. Hygiene condition was fine. Next to the hotel were some eateries. Overall experience was very good.

Lovely new hotel. Comfortable, clean, spacious rooms with big windows, desk and chair, 2 easy chairs with table. Plenty of hot water. Well laid out room with refrigerator, safe, TV, and decent lighting. Breakfast buffet was excellent! One of the best of my recent travels. I ate dinner in the restaurant one night and it was also excellent. Highly recommend. Only issue was minor- in July, the entire building was too warm. In the room it wasn't an issue as windows could be opened, but with a room full of people at the buffet, it was a bit uncomfortable.

Nice, clean hotel. Staff is polite. They have a restaurant on premises and have happy hour. The breakfast buffet is included and I must say pretty excellent. So many offerings!! The dining and lobby area are very modern and nicely decorated. However the rooms or at least the one I was in are very dated. And the curtains did not keep the midnight sun out. They are large and the bathrooms are huge. Best shower in Iceland!! Just be careful of the hot water! It’s boiling hot. You couldn’t ask for a better location. It’s literally a one minute walk from the food hall, shopping etc. The town church is right behind the hotel on a riverwalk. With the location’s proximity to attractions and the airport its a nice hotel and a pretty good value. It was very quiet as well.

The location, with included parking, is perfect for driving to the south coast at a slower pace. After a day of hiking, we parked the car at the hotel and simply walked across the street to the fairly new Food Hall, where we had a ton of dining options. It is also just a short drive to Kerid Crater, a spot we may not have gotten around to if we stayed somewhere further off the path. The price was great for what we got, and included a breakfast with a large variety of options! We booked three rooms total, and although two of them overlooked the parking lot and nearby neighborhood (a cute view), the third room had a fantastic view of the bridge and river. Check in and out were both simple, as was getting parking validation (we just had to enter our car information into a machine at check-in).

They put us on the 4th floor and it was so hot that people were sitting in the halls on the floor trying to cool off from their rooms. They did end up giving us a fan and we opened the balcony, but in our opinion, our stay was unbearable. We stayed in other hotels during this heat wave and never felt this uncomfortable. The hotel downstairs was nice and cold. The lobby and restaurant views were beautiful.

Nice clean hotel in heart of Selfoss. Great jumping off point for spending a few days exploring the south coast. Breakfast was good and the restaurant for dinner was decent. Rooms were a bit dated(kind of reminds me of a 90s Disney cruise stateroom). Great views from our room of the river. Only downside is that they really, really, really need to invest in blackout blinds

Good clean and comfortable hotel with large rooms. The restaurant could do with an upgrade as looked slightly worn, but otherwise this hotel suited our needs for our 1 night stay. Good free parking and excellent location for sight-seeing. |Eat in the Food Hall across the street. Lots of variety and delicious.
