HOTEL SKAFTAFELL
Three-star hotel with a breathtaking view of Iceland's highest mountain, located off Route 1.
Without being exceptional, this 3 star hotel located in a white building with rooms all equipped with bathroom remains a good address. On the spot, a restaurant to enjoy after a day. It is also very well located to explore the surrounding glaciers and only 800 m from the Svínafellsjökull glacier arm, sheltered by a moraine. The hotel has a breathtaking view of Iceland's highest mountain, Hvannadalshnukur, and Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. The hotel is located on the edge of Route 1, a few kilometres from Skaftafell.

Apart from location, this hotel is more like a motel which is in dire need of renovation. Rooms are small and old and beds are very low height. It is clean at some places but also dirty in some other places. It felt more like Travelodge motels in US. There were no views from the room and the radiator was not effective enough. Since we had booked via expedia so the checkin staff was very strict about the type of room that we can have. In general, Staff was just ok.
I didn’t find any vegetarian options either in their restaurant nor at the gas station across the road.
One good thing was, we were able to see the northern lights from this hotel.
Bottomline, stay here only for its location and its presence on the ring road.
