One of my favorite homes away from home!
Pretty riverside views and a huge and fortifying breakfast are my favorite parts. I come to Iceland almost every year and it always includes a stay at Hotel Selfoss. And the water pressure is superb!

It was very fun to stay at the Hotel Selfoss with beautiful views of the river. Stay on floors 3 and 2 to ride up in the glass elevator with beautiful views of the river. Or walk up the stairs to your room also beautiful views of the area.
Hotel service and amenities were great ! The breakfast had something for everyone and much better quality than the usual "breakfast included" offering

Wonderful stay!
Wonderful stay! We enjoyed the spa.So many dinner choices within walking distance. We went to the Old Dairy Food Hall across the street, Many choices there. Breakfast was the best here of our 9 day trip. So many choices on this buffet. We got a delux room with a river view. So spacious! Selfoss is in a very good location to see sites in Southern Iceland. Delightful town I’m glad we visited.

Nice hotel
We had a quiet, comfortable room with a good view of the river. Construction had the main roads to the hotel closed. A construction worker told us the back roads to reach it. The front desk clerk could tell us how to get to a restaurant a half hour south. Breakfast buffet was nice with a good selection.

We enjoyed our stay at this great hotel!
This was one of the best hotels we stayed at during our 16-day travel in Iceland this trip! Our room was clean and spacious, with 2 comfortable chairs and even a sofa, as well as a desk and chair. The beds were comfortable. Bathroom was of decent size. Room was clean. Breakfast was well prepared. The good hotel made our stay in the area so much more enjoyable!

It was quite hot in the room even with the window open. Breakfast was very good, was not notified at check in about spa facilities being available with our reservation. Instead, I was notified via email survey after. Hotel is very nice. Loved how there was a walkable little area with food and shops across the street.

Great place as a pit stop during trip in Iceland. Nothing fancy, but has the basics and is super close to everything selfoss has to offer. We will stay here again when we visit Iceland!
