Very Good

The property location was beautiful and remote. The rooms were lovely, clean and nicely furnished. The bathroom was nice too but the shower curtain was a little moldy
The property and the surrounding region are both beautiful and great for exploring. The hotel itself was incredible - the staff were friendly, the bed was very comfortable, the ammenities were new, and the hot tub was excellent!
This hotel is in a beautiful location along the Golden Circle and close to the bigger town of Selfoss. The hotel itself is in desperate need of renovation and repair. Our room was tiny, with extremely old furniture, no bathroom space to even brush your teeth and a weird shower combination that left the entire bathroom floor wet. Just touching the greasy remote for the television was disgusting. We booked and paid for two nights and we were so unhappy that we left after the first night, losing our second night's payment. For the money, this hotel is well below the standards of any hotel we stayed in Iceland. The pictures on the website depict modern rooms with nice furniture, which was obviously nothing like our room. The breakfast was fine. The staff were not necessarily rude, but were definitely not friendly.
Overall it was good. The remote for the tv did not work. There should really be a phone in the rook, in case for emergencies. This is a great place to stay if you want to stay outside of the city!
Our first room was older and had a bad smell. Luckily the front desk attendant moved us with no problem to another room that was newer and had no smell. Good hotel and had a nice restaurant with a great view.
Stayed in the suite. It was fantastic. Clean. All amenities needed. Staff were extremely helpful and courteous. Even the food in the restaurant was wonderful. Location is great with horses and mountains all around. Great location for viewing northern lights!

Frustrating stay
This previously family owned property has many things in its favour but still a way to go to offer a consistent experience to its customers. It is located well to visit key local attractions, we were welcomed professionally and liked the times we used the bar area. The dining area décor is good and the evening meal menu ok (but not good enough to be tempted to eat there twice. Unfortunately the quality of the room was well below average. 1970s style work furniture and a small rather musty smelling bathroom really soured the experience, despite there being tea and coffee making facilities which was a bonus compared to other properties we used. The shower temperature was very unreliable too despite supposedly being thermostatically controlled. Breakfast was generally good but if we ate later in the morning some choices were no longer available such as fruit and yogurt. By our third and final day the only fruit on offer was rather brown-coloured apple hacked into chunks! It was a frustrating stay - hopefully, over time, they will address the issues with the hotel as it has so much potential

Great staff made a nice experience! Rooms were comfortable and spacious.
The hotel has a great look, positions itself beautifully within the surroundings. The design inside is sleek. The rooms are comfortable, have modern look and offer the amenities you would expect from a boutique hotel. Great communal areas, too.
Stay in the suite; it is fantastic. Hotel staff were super and friendly. Breakfast was very good. Only drawback was it is located far from the main cities in the area.

Breakfast was very good. The rest of the stay was rather underwhelming, would have liked to know that the front desk did not have staffing after a certain hour. Also, the pictures of the rooms that were posted did not reflect the actual rooms. Would suggest also posting the rooms that aren’t updated so that guests know what they are getting in to
Fosshotel Hekla was a great experience - staff was friendly, rooms were large and clean albeit a bit cold. I had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and was blown away both times.
Great location, near Kerid crater, secret lagoon and within hour and half of black sand beach , glacier walk and many waterfalls . We stayed here after doing the golden triangle and watched the northern lights from the garden and enjoyed the hot tubs .
