3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2012

We were lucky enough to get a room with a view of the river, which was clean and quiet. However there was no internet reception there (it only functions in a small area of the hotel). Also, breakfast was hugely disappointing even though we arrived before 9am. No hot option (this had been offered at every other hotel or guesthouse... More

We booked here as a treat to ourselves as we travel around Iceland. Going by the website we were expecting a clean, modern hotel with the attention to detail that you'd expect from a four-star hotel. Instead when we arrived we found a hotel with no double beds, only singles pushed together (no double linen so don't expect the beds... More

We were two staying for one night at Hótel Selfoss and we were very satisfied with the service we got. I had sent an e-mail with a certain request two days before and I got a reply very quickly. When we got there we were welcomed by very nice staff. The room was clean and spacious. The situation of the... More

Going to Iceland in winter means you get to your hotel after dark and have to leave before sunrise. So we really regret not being able to sit in our room and watch the sunrise, because it has this amazing view of the river, mountain from our room. We were probably two of less than ten guests that night, so... More

Stayed here in November, 2011. I arrived there really early since my flight got in at 6:45AM. I ate breakfast at the hotel since nothing was open at the time. I only booked the hotel for one evening and technically, I would only get free breakfast the next day. But the hotel staff was nice enough to let me eat... More

We travelled around Iceland and unfortunately Hotel Selfoss was the worst hotel we stayed in. I have stayed in hotels were rooms are tired, but I don't mind if they are clean. We had to move rooms as our first room had a weaking shower and cobwebs around the windows. In the second the rooms still was not clean enough.... More

We stayed at Hotel Selfoss because we couldn't find a room in Reykjavik! We ended up renting a car and discovered that staying outside Reykjavik is great for accessing the countryside: Eyjafjallajokull, the golden circle, etc. Hotel Selfoss is a well deserved 4-star hotel - no, it doesn't have internet in the rooms but in all the common areas -...

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of a tour. Noticed there were other tour groups there, too, because it is probably the only hotel that can accommodate groups. Selfoss itself doesn't have much to offer, except for a nice river. Rooms at this hotel can have river views, which ours did, along with a view of the local church.... More

I have to give this Hotel a rave review for travel accommodation and managment services! I was stuck in NYC because of Hurricane Irene on August 26, 2011, my flight to Iceland for August 27, 2011 was cancelled and the earliest fight Delta could put me on was August 31, 2011, but my vacation time is only up to September...

I have been there twice this summer, and both times ,,the internet just broke down", that was two weeks apart. A four star hotel is supposed to have internet in every room, but there was not. The hotel did not offer any compensations. More
