This is probably one of our least favorite hotel in Iceland. It's designed (badly) for mass tourism. The bathroom has a lot of wasted empty space with a tiny sink and nowhere to put your toiletry bag or anything else. The bathroom door slides not quite close. The rooms are spacious and clean however, but they used these big heavy doors for every room that slams shut so you can feel the wall shake every time when someone either next to you or above or below you close their door. The final insult was when we came to breakfast at 9am, 90% of the tables (all the nice ones along the windows) had a RESERVED sign on it FOR LUNCH!!! All the ones remaining are giant tables near the entrance. I had to insist on sitting at a table next to the window at a near empty restaurant and they finally agreed because the hostess said it didn't have a table cloth. The two coffee thermo and the only hot water thermo, the syrup, 3 of the fruit bowls were all empty. The restaurant staff just sat around looking at their phone and had to be told what's missing. I guess they didn't feel like replenishing items after the large tour group ate breakfast here earlier. If you're an independent traveler, avoid this place because you'll be treated as an inconvenience compared to the huge tour buses.

We had an issue with our reservation in another structure but the Fosshotel arranged for us 2 double rooms despite the peak season at a reasonable rate. The rooms are big and comfortable. Also the beeakfast is reach and various of sweet and salty food. The staff very kind and professional. Highly recommended!

After visiting Iceland 20 years before, we brought all of our adult children along with us. Our trip started off in Húsavík and using the Fosshotel Húsavík as our base for the first 3 days was amazing! The location is super convenient, the staff are lovely to a one, and the facilities are just what anyone would need to feel comfortable and at home.

The hotel has a good location and is convenient to reach by car. However, I was quite disappointed with the room assignment: as a regular guest arriving around 3 p.m., I was placed in an accessible room without being asked for my consent or informed in advance. This is not professional, and I believe guests deserve proper communication and the option to choose their room type.

We truly value your loyalty and would love to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more tailored experience during your next stay. Best regards, The Fosshotel Húsavík Team
