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.

    Ideal position right after Skaftafell national park, restaurant close by with good prices. The hotel restaurant was excellent with gourmet cuisine. Other excellent feature was that you can ask to be called on the room phone if there are any Northern Lights! Unfortunately there weren't any while we were there but it was nice to know we wouldn't miss them if there were. Also, small hike from the hotel to a small glacier nearby really recommended. Overall excellent experience, I would recommend this hotel.

    What a sweet hotel! It is in a perfect location to visit the national park via the Skaftafell entrance, where there are many excellent hikes. The staff is friendly and helpful, and pointed out the cool and easy trail behind the hotel that goes to the glaciers, with great views. The room was comfortable and quiet, with nice beds. The restaurant is open again (hooray), and we had a great meal there for dinner, as well as a very nice (included) breakfast.

    Standard European breakfast was nice. Dinner at the restaurant did not meet expectations after reading other reviews. Beds were unbelievably hard and seemed small for twins. We had the misfortune of having some sort of really loud generator (?) going all night, which we heard because we kept our window open since the room was so warm. We stayed in many hotels around Ring Road and I felt this was the least impressive.

    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.

    We stayed in the annex behind the hotel. The room was comfortable, and we appreciated having a water boiler. Good black out curtains and easy access to a great trail right behind us. Really nice breakfast spread. can’t beat the location for being near the main park and glaciers.

    Plenty of parking lots in front of the hotel, however it tends to get packed. Breakfast is included, wide variety but not the best quality. Has lobby/reception area which feels polished, and there is a bar located on the 2nd floor which closes at 11pm.

    Perfect location and views. My absolute favorite trail walk is behind the hotel which takes you straight to Svinafelljokull —a MUST if you are in south Iceland. Plus great restaurant and fresh cuisine (breakfast and dinner) Takk!!

    The hotel is located right next to the glacier! You can take a short walk to look closer at it (but not to actually walk on it). Our double room was very spacious and clean. The staff at the hotel are helpful and friendly.
