Fantastic view and very clean and comfy rooms. They were very proactive in acknowledging your Expedia status and made sure that you got the perk that was promised. It is of course more of a commercial chain hotel than a laid back venue. Everything was great but the bathroom could use an upgrade compared to the rest of the property and room quality.

Fosshotel Nupar is in the middle of nowhere. But that’s the point. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the views are amazing! For my wife and I this hotel was the perfect pit stop after a day full of active hiking, atv riding and driving.

I would definitely recommend this stay!

The views were amazing! Patios are such a fantastic idea. But, there was no patio furniture on them. The beds were hard. The restaurant was very nice. It is in the middle of nowhere so bring snacks etc.
Breakfast was subpar. We were there for 2 nights and the breakfast was cold by 9 am when we were there.

We recently stayed at this property, and it was easily one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had. From the safety of the neighborhood to the hygiene of the room, everything was completely unacceptable.
Here is a breakdown of our stay:
* The Room & Hygiene: The overall quality of the room was terrible. The beds were incredibly uncomfortable, making it impossible to get a good night's rest. Worst of all, we discovered literal blood spots on the window blinds—a massive biohazard and proof that this room was not properly cleaned before our arrival.
* The Bathroom Flooding & Smell: The shower was completely broken or improperly sealed, causing water to pool all over the bathroom floor every time it was used. We had to sacrifice a mountain of towels just to keep the standing water from spreading into the bedroom. Because of the constant moisture, the entire bathroom had a heavy, musty smell.
* Breakfast & Dining: To add insult to injury, breakfast was not free, and paying extra for it was a total waste of money. The food options were incredibly mediocre and uninspired.
* Staff and Service: When we went to the staff to explain the flooding and asked them to replace the pile of dirty, soaked towels off the floor, they completely ignored our request. The towels were never replaced, leaving us to deal with the mess ourselves.
* Location: To top it all off, the surrounding area felt incredibly sketchy and unsafe. We did not feel secure leaving the hotel or walking around the p

This hotel was definitely a hotel that you should only stay at if you are passing through, don’t drive here as a destination. It is very expensive and honestly feels a little bit like a motel. I will say the restaurant is REALLY good. If it wasn’t for the restaurant the hotel would have been a total waste of time.

Amazing location and views. But for the price, it really doesn’t feel as nice as it should.

Front desk noted free breakfast at check in. The next morning they told us it wasn’t, I went to the same front desk person who then lied and told us she didn’t tell us it was free and then the restaurant insisted and they charged me. After paying, my debit card dinged me and showed it was paid and they insisted it wasn’t even though they could see it on my phone and on my debit card record that it was already pending transacted and then insisted I pay AGAIN. $86 CDN buffet breakfast for two x2 at this point and I’m not sure what will happen but even though I showed them my debit card info on my phone I’m likely to have fight them until the end of time. The good news is I cancelled all my Foss hotel bookings for the rest of the trip and that will cost them $3000. Bad manners, rudeness and bold lies always costs beyond what the initial gain is.

We stayed here as a convenient location on our ring road trip, the room was great and we had a lovely view onto the glacier. But the whole of the room's floor was all tile and not heated and the pasta choice in the restaurant was rather tasteless. And after expressing our real hope to see an aurora that night with cloudless skies predicted we were very disappointed that there was no alert system in place to notify travellers who requested it. We fell asleep soon after 10:00 but would have happily been awakened any time after to see the northern lights, only to find the next morning that they put on a display after 11:00 (even though the app we were using said best chance was at 3:00 so we had set our alarm for 3:00 only to see nothing). Breakfast was best we've had, with many options.

Decent Stay - Omega Super Duber Overpriced

It is decent for a stay out of town - but just like everything in Iceland, the price point is not there and its hard to stomach paying the price of a hotel room knowing that in other places, there will be a lot more included in the price (amenities, food, quality, cleanliness...etc)

However, this might be a supply and demand problem given there really isn't many options availabe.

The hotel is super modern and nice, but the staff, made up mostly of imported (non-Icelandic), young labor left me wanting. We showed a little early and could not check in and then were denied a cup of coffee while we waited for rooms to be ready. We could see the coffee machine on the bar. Although the hotel was generally clean, one of our supposedly clean bath towels had a large brown smudge on it that we had to exchange. I hope it was just a previous guest's makeup. We ate dinner with another couple and the bartender refused to split the check and insisted we did that at checkout two days later. Luckily, the guy at the front desk was able to split the check after we made a fuss. Lastly, one of the waiters told us that Americans were super messy, referring to a tour group that was conferencing in the hotel. He may have been joking, or he may not like Americans. I would look for other options in the area before settling on this property.

Very clean property, a reasonable (and expected) amount of amenities, and friendly staff. There’s close to nothing to do or see in the immediate area, you’d need to drive at least 30 or more minutes. The grounds around the property are a lot of protected moss, so you’re not supposed to stay from the path, but there wasn’t a lot of visible path from what I saw. Also, walking back to a room from the outside, there are no visible numbers as to which room is yours. So make sure you find some marker to know before wandering.

Nice hotel in the middle of nowhere. There's not much lighting outdoors which is nice because we could see the Northern Lights right above the hotel. The lobby area was really nice but the rooms were made with very cheap materials like a camping trailer. The rooms were nice enough for a one night stay during a road trip. No wash cloths were provided. We liked the tiny patio to step out and view the stars & aurora.
