    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.

    Tremendous family run generational local property.

    Tremendous family run generational local property. Gorgeous setting and very close to National Park. Great path in rear of property leading to amazing glacier views and outlet lagoon. Lovely dinner and dessert! Friendly, warm staff. Great relaxing indoor bar and outdoor patio with stunning glacier views. Thank you, Hotel Skaftafell!!!

    A lovely hotel. We had a room at the back with an amazing view of the glacier from our window. You can actually walk from the back of the hotel to the glacier. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. There was a garage opposite with a cafe. We had a look but did not find the food appetising - we had eaten at the restaurant before looking at the cafe and felt we were spoilt with the hotel restaurants quality. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

    The proximity to the glacier…Just 10 minutes walk in the back of the hotel, it was better than the hikes we did in the park. The breakfast was good. Don’t know why previous reviewers complained about! It is. Little bit pricey but for the location it is worth it. I almost didn’t book here after seeing all the reviews . So glad we did! We will definitely stay there again.

    The locale is awesome. We hiked over to the Svinafellsjokull Glacier from the Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the proximity of the Glacier and the chance to see it up close. A bonus for anyone who makes a booking at Hotel Skaftafell. In addition the various Glacier Hiking companies have their Base Camp within a few Km distance from the Hotel.

    Excellent location. You can walk from the hotel to visit the glacier behind. Plenty of free parking. There is a large bar upstairs with a good happy hour and outdoor terrace with views. For a cheap filling mean, pop across the road to the diner attached to the petrol station opposite

    location is right between skaftafell national park and the jokusarlon lagoon which makes it the best in these parts, just across the hotel there is also a gas station for refuelling. there is also a trail right behind the hotel where you can view the glacier upclose!

    Perfect location for glacier walk/hike, 40minute drive to diamond beach. The hotel is quite basic, but clean, comfortable and quiet. Reception offer a wake up call if the Northern Lights are active - we were lucky enough to see them and grateful for the call.

    Excellent location! Room was small, but clean. Took a stroll behind the hotel to see the glacier, which as receded quite a bit, but the walk was still very scenic.
