Hotel Skógá by EJ Hotels

Great location near the falls!!!

Good breakfast & great views

Just a place to stay and convenient to Skógafoss and the Fimm Trail. Clean, comfy beds and pillows. Great view of falls and aurora from windows. Breakfast was acceptable, simple breakfast food and limited offerings. Coffee was available 24/7. Outside needs some cleaning up but we were pleasantly surprised how nice the inside was. I’d stay here again. Can walk to the falls and the restaurant.

The hotel is self check-in, so it’s very convenient if you dont have a set schedule. There really isn’t much service but I think there is a reception just down the street at a different hotel. I gave it 5 stars for the location, as it is only a short walk away from Skógafoss, kvernufoss and the Skógar museum, so you save parking fees if you plan to go to these places. Facilities are great provided it’s in a rural area, and the hot tub is a nice bonus.

Great location for hiking and waterfalls. The breakfast was lovely and lots of options. The self-service check-in was flawless. Great area and great hotel.

The breakfast buffet was not as good as those in other hotels in Iceland, with limited choices.

Great location and wonderful services.

Ok

I would rate the property a 2.5. The exterior is very run down. Pulling some weeds and just a fresh coat of paint on the entry way sign would help. The interior is clean but old and worn. The room is small and bathroom even smaller.


We stayed last nt at a brand new resort / spa for the same price near the glacier with amazing views. This has been a disappointment for sure.

Least favorite of 4 hotels during our 2 wk stay.

Older building but in good condition and very clean. Wonderful coffee maker and breakfast. We did not receive a text or email with our check in information so I had to drive to the hotel next door and check in. Great location. We would stay here again just for the coffee maker. Hot tub was clean. Sauna must be seasonal or out of order but it made a nice place to dry off out of the rain.

Location was great. No full time staff. Basic accommodations. Very pricy.

The outside is deceiving. Once inside, it is a weird set-up but our room was ok. Breakfast starts at 8 which was too late for us. Walking distance from the nearby waterfall.

Definitely not a good value for the money!’
This hotel doesn’t have a receptionist. The confirmation email about hotel reservations and facilities electronic code never arrived.

Nice hotel

Reason for a short stay, good breakfast and coffee machine.
Water is heavy with sulphur, very strong scent...lingers in your hair after you shower.

Our room was in a small building that reminded me of a Spanish villa. The room was on the second floor and had a view of the mountains. The bathroom was comfortable (shower was a bit small for my over 6 foot husband). Breakfast was very well stocked (prunes were a bit stale). The nearby Hotel Skógá restaurant was convenient. Access to the waterfall and related hikes was easy. A bonus is that we could walk to the Skogar Museum and the nearby forest planted by former students. My only suggestion is to provide guests with a number to call the restaurant ahead of time for reservations. We never had trouble getting a table but I would have reserved a table closer to a window if I had been given an opportunity to easily reserve one.

The breakfast is outstanding. Free coffee and tea 24 hours is nice. And complementary chocolates are an unexpected surprise. The location is hard to beat. Just 8 minutes walk to the Skagafoss, and a short drive to several other natural wonders.

Easy in

After long day of hiking, I expected a hot shower. Never got hot water after running it over 10mins and gave up. Took 6mins to get Luke warm in sink. Hotel is not quiet as tile flooring on hallways where roller bags are dragged in at all hours will have you up and in morning, coffee machine and Bfast will echo through same small hall. This isn't worth the cost -its more like a B&B. Only thing has going for it is walkable to falls.

The cabinet above the tiny sink was in the way and can be hazardous to bump someone’s head. And it is hard to use the sink to brush teeth/wash face. It is highly recommended to move the cabinet to the right to make space. It is ok to install the mirror by itself above the sink. This property is basically a simple motel with small room. It seems clean but the drainage emits smell when taking shower. The continental breakfast was adequate with some variety. The seating faux leather was pealing though. The sister hotel nearby looks better and someone was in the service desk and he was very friendly. They may help you if you need something even for this location. I was told they added this dated property when it was for sale. Both hotels are close to one big waterfall. Another one is nearby. This beautiful waterfall is closer to the museum on the side of the cafe.
