"Front desk noted free breakfast at check in. The next morning they told us it wasn’t, I went to the same front desk person who then lied and told us she didn’t tell us it was free and then the restaurant insisted and they charged me. After paying, my debit card dinged me and showed it was paid and they insisted it wasn’t even though they could see it on my phone and on my debit card record that it was already pending transacted and then insisted I pay AGAIN. $86 CDN buffet breakfast for two x2 at this point and I’m not sure what will happen but even though I showed them my debit card info on my phone I’m likely to have fight them until the end of time. The good news is I cancelled all my Foss hotel bookings for the rest of the trip and that will cost them $3000. Bad manners, rudeness and bold lies always costs beyond what the initial gain is."
"The staff were all very nice and helpful doubling as bartenders and servers if need be. Dinner was excellent and the included breakfast was good and plentiful. The setting was pastoral. The room and bath were smaller but sufficient, clean, and comfortable."
"Hotel Skaftafell was a good stay for us mainly because of the location. It was the most convenient choice for being near our glacier hike the next morning, and it was also easy to drive back to after our Zodiac boat tour at Glacier Lagoon. For that part of the trip, the location was perfect.
The included breakfast was really good and had a nice variety. We also had dinner at the attached restaurant the night before. It was pricey, but the food was delicious. The kids’ menu was not great, but the staff were very kind and let us come in to eat even though we arrived only about five minutes before the end of seating.
The room itself was small, and the beds were just okay. There was nothing especially memorable about the room, but it worked fine for a short stay. There is also a gas station with a really good grill fairly close by, which was convenient.
Overall, this hotel was a practical and helpful stop because of the location, breakfast, restaurant, and easy access to the glacier activities we had planned."
"The cabin was very spacious and relaxing. We loved having a kitchen and space to rest after long days of exploring the south coast. The “Klauster” had a few restaurants (less than 10 mins away) & attractions we enjoyed (Vik & National park) we’re around an hour or less away."
"Set up was great- cute kitchen with coffee provided! Great little eating space/living room. Super clean. The property was stunning- nestled back among the countryside near farms and a rolling brook. It was so peaceful. We stayed 2 nights between our glacier day and our Vik day and the location worked great for us. "
