What's nearby

  • Frostastaðavatn is a lake in the Highlands of Iceland, not far from the famous mountains of Landmannalaugar and the volcano Hekla. Frostastaðavatn is Icelandic for "lake of the frosty place". No frost there in early September, but I can only imagine what it looks like in Winter! Anyone going to Landmannalaugar should definitely make a stop here. The views here and near this location are stunning and otherworldly!

Restaurant food was excellent, though limited in selection. Arctic char and lamb were superb. This hotel is a sleeping place in preparation for the incredible Landmannalaugur mountain and hiking area, both well worth Icelandic prices!

Rooms are good with private bathroom. We could also enjoy the sauna (shower in the sauna was not optimal as it was flooding the floor). Had a nice dinner with very good portion.

This hotel is really far from normal tourists spots but we wanted to hike a mountain near by so I selected this location. I really enjoyed our time here and the view was pristine and untouched land. The rooms have big windows so you have a great view.

A clean and honest hotel close to landmanalaugar, which has no other accommodation options so close (except for camping and a sleeping bag hut in the mountains).

Even though the property is located in quite a remote area, it’s very well maintained and offers great value for the price. The cleanliness and upkeep really stood out. I was especially pleased to find that the breakfast included a good variety of vegetarian and vegan options. A great choice if you don’t mind a quieter, off-the-beaten-path location and valley of tears and other breathtaking locations are also close to this spot. The only caveat is you need to let the hotel know about the late checkin and sometimes they dont pick up phone being short staffed.

Great location just before F208 to Landmannalaugar. Clean and modern room. Great cafe and restaurant. Very friendly personel in the reception and restaurant. Got some good tips for sights on the way back from Landmannalaugar on F225. I would definitely come back.

The property is one of very few that give you reasonable access to the Highlands. The budget rooms are small, but you get what you pay for staff is friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant was good and sometimes great particularly the lamb. Definitely on the revisit list

For those who should stay inland, there is no other option. Otherwise, I would recommend to find a place near ring road. The room 3 of us stayed was so small and the room charge was very expensive.
