Loved that sheep were trotting around on the decking in the morning. Was a very cute wake up call seeing them play around. It was very clean and cosy, perfect!

Very elegant hotel in a refined and Scandinavian style as we like.
Good location on the ring road.
We recommend the restaurant which is delicious. You almost eat under the stars in a desert and magical landscape. You could almost imagine yourself in a car advertising.
The young staff was lovely both at the reception and at the restaurant.
Ending the stay with splendid breakfast.
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.

Fantastic location in a rural area. Close to Skaftafell National Park. About 40 minutes by car to Jokulsarlon glacier and Diamond Beach.very quiet area with car parking. Good cooking facilities. Owners very friendly and helpful. Stayed for 2 nights. Loved the information book on how everything works and the area
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!!!
This hotel was in a great location for our adventures. The room was a good size and when we mentioned the comfort of the beds (they were a bit worn), the staff made an extra effort to replace the mattresses quickly! After that was done, we were so grateful. Being able to walk out the back door and hike to the Svinafellsjokull (glacier), have a short drive to Diamond Beach and the glacier lagoon, and get to the Skaftafel Nature Reserve/Park in minutes was key!
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!
Was not sure about this place as it is unassuming on the outside. The room was cozy with comfortable beds. The shower had super hot water, which I love. Dinner prices were high, but the dinner was fantastic. Take the time to go on the short hike behind the hotel to the glacier.
The place is really nice. The staff is welcoming, the size of the room good and the beds were really comfy. It was clean and quiet. There is nearly no light outside exept the hotel so we could watch the stars ans sky lights easily ! Thank you very much !
