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.

    Great location, beautiful setting, incredible views of mountains and glaciers. Checked in early evening then we walked a lovely, quiet trail from our room right to a glacier before sitting down to an excellent gourmet dinner. The room was small, with dated furnishing and twin beds, but had an up to date, roomy, nice bathroom and was very clean and comfortable. Very close to National Park entrance (parking lot). The breakfast was very nice. The room had a huge window that we could open to let in that marvelous fresh air.

    The hotel is very close to one of the main glaciers in Iceland, so it is a great option, if not the only one, if doing some tours around. The facilities were great. The room had a good size and the bathroom was clean. Continental breakfast included in the room rate. Probably, it was the best I had during my stay in Iceland. The staff is just outstanding. There is a smaller galcier at the back of the hotel, with several trails to explore the area. A restaurant, gas station and its shop across the road.

    Skaftafell is quite isolated so it was great to have this place to stay. The restaurant menu was expensive but the fuel station across the road ran a diner with burgers and fish that was more reasonable. A great place to stay near the National Park. Great views out of the window in our room and at breakfast. Breakfast was better than most places with an eggs bacon and baked beans in addition to the usual cereals and toast.

    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!

    The locale is awesome. We hiked over to the Svinafellsjokull Glacier from the Hotel and thoroughly enjoyed the proximity of the Glacier and the chance to see it up close. A bonus for anyone who makes a booking at Hotel Skaftafell. In addition the various Glacier Hiking companies have their Base Camp within a few Km distance from the Hotel.

    location is right between skaftafell national park and the jokusarlon lagoon which makes it the best in these parts, just across the hotel there is also a gas station for refuelling. there is also a trail right behind the hotel where you can view the glacier upclose!

    Perfect location for glacier walk/hike, 40minute drive to diamond beach. The hotel is quite basic, but clean, comfortable and quiet. Reception offer a wake up call if the Northern Lights are active - we were lucky enough to see them and grateful for the call.

    It was a decent room, nothing special. The location was very helpful for our tour in Iceland. Right across the hotel was a gas station, where we bought some snacks and drinks. The beds were super comfy.

    Great location close to the glacier and not to far from many of the glacial attractions (kayaking in glacier lagoon, glacier hiking/climbing). Dinner at the hotel was very tasty but quite pricy

    We loved walking out behind the hotel directly onto a hiking trail towards the glacier. It’s also a short drive to Skaftafell National Park. A welcome addition was laundry service-The best!
