The staff were so accommodating to our last-minute reservation; we found our first reserved accommodation unsatisfactory, and we were left with a need to find another place fast. It was such relief to meet the kind staff, well-run reception, and our rooms were recently redecorated and beautiful. They even had tea pots in our rooms, which was the perfect wind down to a busy day. It was a great experience, and I'd now recommend Foss Hotels to anyone heading to Iceland! We also loved the location. We walked down to the sea, enjoyed the waves crashing, enjoyed birds nesting, and had some great views of the nearby mountains and the classic old Icelandic church. This was some great material for me, an amateur photographer, and added to the joy of the experience.
We had no negative experiences to report

Excellent food, friendly staff, extremely relaxing place to be. The entrance hall just invites to sit, to relax, to drink a coffee and to let go.
I stayed for four nights in the same room - principally an excellent place and room to be; unfortunately, there was an annoying sqeaking repetitive noise caused by the admittedly strong wind. It must have come from some parts of the roof or alike. I informed the very friendly personel about this and I hope they could fix it in the meantime (perhaps not an easy task). Otherwise en extremely lovely place to stay!

First, the front staff were very helpful and informative. They knew how to direct us to interesting locations in the area and made sure that we knew various meal options, in the hotel and in the area. One of our days was during a strong wind/rain storm. They alerted us that the storm might be more intense that we would expect, since it was our first trip to Iceland. They told us possibilities for touring that would be safe to tour and how to be more careful in the wind. Second, all the staff were friendly, helpful, and happy to engage in brief conversations. We learned about the staff and more about the area. The seasonal wait staff talked about coming here for the Icelandic tourist season and their countries of origin. Third, the food was wonderful! The dining room and lounge had large windows to the outdoors, were clean and welcoming. Fourth, the rooms were very clean. The facilities felt well maintained and overseen. I would to love to go there again and explore the peninsula. I am sure we would do more in this area of Iceland than we had planned to do. I am ready to go again. Thank you!!!

The hotel lobby at the reception looks amazing, very cozy, beautiful sea view, nice place to have a rest and enjoy the moment.
Too expensive. For that price I would expect higher standard of the rooms. Apart of the hotel lobby, the experience was pretty basic. Some furniture parts for expample were a little damaged on its surface. We have slept in much better hotels or guesthouses during our roadtrip around the Iceland and those were much cheaper. It could has breakfast included at least.

Great location at the end of the peninsula after a busy day exploring. Not much nearby - but nice walk down to beach (with cafe). Hotel rooms are cosy but clean and comfortable - timber framed so not much noise insulation. We had a great stay for one night as a family of four with two sea view rooms - and were pleasantly surprised how good the restaurant food was considering how remote the hotel is. Very impressed by how friendly all the staff were - every single one said hello/good morning etc with a smile as you passed them
Smaller rooms - little sound insulin as timer framed

The breakfast was fantastic - we were full for nearly the whole day which was great. The room was very clean. While it was small, it was exactly what we needed. There isn't much around the hotel, so we ate at the restaurant for dinner and it was fantastic. We also saw the northern lights right outside of our room which was awesome!
We could hear people moving around in the room next to us. The room was also very hot and we didn't have the ability to turn it down.

Wonderful location on the water, watched the sun rise over coffee from the restaurant in the morning. We had 2 rooms, our Room was not large, but spacious enough for a couple and our luggage. Very clean, Comfortable, a small window could be opened to allow air flow and cooling during sleep. Dinner was FABULOUS. Our party of 5 all selected different entrees and they were all delicious. Staff were kind and gracious, breakfast was also quite good. No complaints!~
We stayed for one night, on the day we traveled there it was EXTREMELY windy. 3 of our group had a triple in the rear building, and told us the wind whistled through their door all night. We had no issues in our room. Their door faced NNE and our door was inside, but our window which was open faced WNW.

It was a wonderful experience overall - we booked the balcony room for my husband's birthday. It was our 2nd time staying there and it did not disappoint. The room, the dinner, the staff - were all amazing and they went above and beyond with treats in the room and surprise desert with a candle!
N/A - honestly there isn't much we don't like about this specific Foss hotel - it's the best location and the best view!

The property is small and sits on the edge of the land with views to the North Atlantic—if it isn’t bad weather. There is a small outdoor seating area if the weather is nice. Also able to access the walking path to Arnastapi here. Restaurant is on site and had nice choices for dinner and a beautiful breakfast buffet.
The room we had was small and looked out at the back of the building which was old cars and a house.

Remote, wild location just off the ring road, warm welcome, views (even on a rainy day), good room with comfy bed and bathroom with a strong shower. Dinner and breakfast both great. Also recommend the Frista Food Truck in nearby Arnarstapi for amazing fish and chips and quesadillas. Good recommendations from reception for spots to stop at on the drive back to Reykjavik, including seals on the rocks at Ytri Tunga. We also found a lovely little forest to walk through further on at Hofsstaðaskógur.
