Nónhamar, hotel in Skaftafell

Set in Hof, Nónhamar provides accommodation within 20 km of Svartifoss. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi.

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, 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...

    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.

    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!

    Great hotel in a perfect location on the south of the island. Restaurant evening meal and breakfast the following morning were both good quality and tasty. As others have said, there is a great walk out the back of the hotel straight to the glacier, which I would recommend to anyone visiting. All in all, a really positive experience, and we’d happily stay were again.

    We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Skaftafell, it was well located for our road trip out to the Vatnajokull glacier. We found the staff helpful and the room clean and comfortable. The scenery around the hotel was very nice. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and thought the standard was very high. We also enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel.

    The staff was very accommodating. The surrounding location was stunning and everything was perfect for our group. Breakfast and our one dinner was delicious as well. Also, on our 2nd stay with you all it was so touching to see the hotel put up so many travelers due to the roads being closed due to the wind.

    We stayed in the annex behind the hotel. The room was comfortable, and we appreciated having a water boiler. Good black out curtains and easy access to a great trail right behind us. Really nice breakfast spread. can’t beat the location for being near the main park and glaciers.

    Hotel is located on the main road with steps away from the glacier. We got the last room in the hotel and it had views of glaciers from the window. Reception was friendly and helpful in guiding us about nearby location and activities. Decent breakfast with hot and cold options.

    Medium-sized, family-run hotel. Friendly staff. Pleasant, clean, functionally furnished rooms. Average breakfast. There is not much accomodation choice in Skaftafell if you want to make a glacier tour from there.

    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.
