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.

    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.

    The Hotel is located in a great area, you can see the Skaftafell glacier from your room and get to a beutifull lake within a short walk. The Staff was lovely and supper helpfull, room was of a regular size, enough space for what we needed but very clean. We stayed for 2 nights and had an amazong experience. Ther bar has a great view to the Glacier as well. I'll highly recomended

    Lovely people at this very clean hotel situated strategically a 10-40 minutes drive from great waterfalls and icebergs. Just a 15 minutes walk behind the hotel is a Svinafellsjökull Iceberg. We stayed two nights in the beginning of April and caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights. The food is excellent, both breakfast buffet and dinner. Highly recommended!

    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!

    It’s the only place near the entrance of the National park, but other reviews said it wasn’t that good….but I was VERY happy there. REALLY great hike right behind the hotel (to a glacier) and super nice staff and happy hour and nice lobby and totally acceptable rooms. Not luxury but totally nice and clean and good. The other review was wrong.

    We were greeted in an absolutely lovely way. The room was clean and had everything one needs. The food in the evening was delicious and exactly what we were looking for- as well as the breakfast in the morning. THE BEST is the glacier right behind the hotel, just a short walk away. The greatest ending one could have for the end of the day.

    the best hotel we want to in iceland! perfect location on the ring road in the middle of nowhere, but there’s a onsite restaurant and gas station. the surrounding nature is absolutely wonderful and there’s a nice walk to do behind the hotel, to a glacier lookout viewpoint! we saw northern lights there and the staff was helpful.

    Very good breakfast. Clean and comfortable room. Really friendly staff who recommended us to take a 20-30 min walk behind the hotel to the nearby glacier (it says private property but it's OK for guests to walk in), which took us to very pretty viewpoints. Beautiful location with a great view from the bar.

    Hotel has a great location, you can walk to Svinafellsjokull from it. The little bar is gorgeous with incredible views. Breakfast was extensive and varied. Staff were welcoming and the lobby area is lovely. The petrol station across the road has a cheap extensive menu

    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.

    We really appreciated how helpful Pablo was - he checked us in, gave us recommendations for a glacier tour, and was overall super friendly. Dinner and buffet breakfast in the hotel were both delicious. Was a great place to stop during our ring road trip.

    This place has such a friendly staff and who could engage in conversation the area. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and breakfast buffet before we left. There’s an awesome hike behind the hotel that is worth the hour walk. Near Svartifoss (waterfall)
