The food at the hotel resturant was really good! But you do have limited choices. Thankfully the seafood was excellent! The room was fine and clean. The town is small and is a fishing town.

This Fosshotel needs some updating. Breakfast is adequate but not inspiring. Our sea view room, though, has fabulous views.
There are not many hotels in this region and Foss is a quality nation-wide brand. This seems to be usually used for tour groups but the location is beautiful for anyone looking to visit the bird cliffs, red sand beach or other attractions in the area. Be aware that the rooms that face the fjord also face the road, which is busy and as there is no A/C, if the window is open for air, you will hear street noise.
Such an outstanding hotel in Iceland - Fosshotel Westfjords. We had a group of wedding professionals at World Class Wedding Venues - Say "I Do" Worldwide - touring Iceland searching wedding ideas for brides and grooms wanting to get married or take their honeymoon in Iceland. The Westfjords are outstanding! World Class Wedding Venues team of wedding experts traveled through picture perfect postcard settings. The Westfjords Fosshotel is a perfect place for couples or wedding guests wanting to escape the busy city and explore virgin lands of Iceland. Amazing time our wedding team had at the FossHotel Westfjords - thank you so much for having a friendly, welcoming team who always greeted us with a smile! World Class Wedding Venues
The room was basic but clean and comfortable. The dining room was the superstar. Dinner was amazing: I had a gorgeous salad and a delectable Arctic Char dish; my husband was craving a hamburger, and it was outstanding. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and the coffee was the best on our road trip.
Absolutely perfect little gem in the ‘middle of nowhere’. Super simple small rooms, but very clean and tidy with just what you need (bathroom, bed, tv), but the best parts are the kind workers (actually all Icelandic people have been kind and this is no exception) as well as the tasty food at the hotel restaurant: both at dinner and the breakfast buffet.
Everything was perfect, the location, the breakfast, except that they had an old TV model and I couldn't check my photos because it didn't have an HDMI connection.
