Great location and pretty good breakfast. The staff was nice enough but I did not have much interaction with them.

Lovely modern hotel. We had a sea view room which was really cute and despite the weather we could still see the water. We had dinner at the hotel which was really good. Also breakfast which was pretty good for a buffet. Food not overly cheap but nothing in Iceland is. Lots of parking, check in was easy. Would recommend.
The Potato Storage is offering accommodation in Svínafell, with free WiFi and free private parking. All guest rooms in the motel are fitted with a kettle.

Stayed in the studio, was an amazing stay, really easy to check in, views from the studio were outstanding, take food with you and enjoy the facilities. Comfy bed and warm showers. Best tap water ever.

The location is perfect and ideally located close to the glacier, easy access and yet secluded. Clean, functionable and well thought out layout. Owner is very responsive. We enjoyed the use of the terrace and the large windows to watch sunset and spot the northern lights from. Would definitely stay here again.
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 - 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 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!!!
Though hotel Skaftafell is located in the middle of nowhere, its location is super-efficient for exploring the Skaftafell national park with all its glaciers. Jokulsarlon and Fjallsarlon glacial lagoons and horse-riding. The restaurant is a highlight (and pretty much the only option as there's virtually nothing nearby) - the food is quite inventive, well-cooked and flavoursome. The restaurant service is also warm, friendly and efficient.
This hotel is surrounding by astounding scenery and even has its own secret walking path to view a nearby tongue of Vatnajökull. We grabbed beers at the upstairs bar around sunset after a glacier hike, and it was honestly one of the best beers of my entire life. Had a great conversation with a staff member about the Icelandic language and the breakfast was complete and satisfying.
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.
This was one of our favorite hotels during our trip to Iceland! The staff was so nice and helpful. Parking was easy. We ate an amazing dinner at their on-site restaurant, drank tea in their upstairs lounge area, and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast! We loved taking a short walking path from the hotel right to a glacier. Definitely highly recommended!
Our room was at the back of the hotel and had a magnificent view of a snow capped mountain. We went for a walk (suggested by receptionist) after checking in to the glacier at the back of the hotel. Easy path and worth doing. The room was very clean and cosy with comfortable beds. A good night’s sleep. Breakfast was a buffet and plentiful.
Gorgeous location, great food, friendly staff! And the hotel had a service where it offered to call guests in the night if any northern lights were spotted. Sure enough after we had fallen asleep, we got a wake up call a few hours later to see an incredible aurora display. Can’t say enough good things about this place!
Great location. Staff great - friendly and helpful. Restaurant on site. food great - delicious and perfect presentation. Breakfast included in room price had a lot of variety and delicious selections. Very clean. Convenient and quiet room location at the end of the hall.
The breakfast was wonderful! There is a short hike to the glacier right behind the hotel. The front desk staff is excellent and caring! The restaurant for dinner is ok. There is a gas station with food for lunch across the street
amazing location! having a short, private trail right to the glacier was great. All the staff was all really helpful, friendly, and the food at the restaurant for dinner and included breakfast was tasty!
The hotel is set in a beautiful location close to a glacier which you can walk to in about 15 mins. The rooms were a good size and clean, and the buffet breakfast offered a very good selection.
amazing views from every corner of the hotel, especially the bar! the room was clean, great location (6 min drive from skaftafell), the restaurant was good
Beautiful well kept hotel with very comfortanle rooms in the middle of the Skaftafell National park. Amazing breakfast. We saw the northern lights here
