This charming country hotel is located along the East coast of Iceland in the town of Fáskrúðsfjörður. This village is celebrated for its majestic scenery and rich history. The Fosshotel itself operates out of four preserved French fishing buildings built between 1898 and 1907, one of which was a French hospital. The previously abandoned hospital was moved and restored in its current condition and now holds 13 of the hotel's 47 rooms. The doctor's house hosts the hotel's reception and the Chapel, built in 1898, holds four rooms near the reception. In 2016 the hotel's renovations received the European Heritage Awards form the European Commission and Europa Nostra.
The hotel also holds the restaurant L'Abri, which serves French influenced cuisine. A small museum devoted to the history of the French fishermen in the area is also operated by Fosshotel Eastfjords. Enjoy a bar, free WiFi, parking and comfortable accommodations at the end of your day touring East Iceland.
This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.

We had such a great experience with Adventure Life when we booked the Galapagos trip a few years ago. Mary Curry helped us then, and again now. She is very knowledgeable, prompt in communication back and forth, and makes it so easy. Thank you, Mary! P.S. Your chat room person, Jo, was also wonderful.

Mary Curry is the BEST! I have worked with her for multiple family trips for over 10 years, and she is responsive, works within your preferences and budget, has great suggestions and has personal travel experience at many of the locations. We prefer active family vacations and Adventure Life and Mary Curry make sure that is what we get!
