Hotel Tindastóll and Annex

Rustic hotel with very thin walls. Impossible to sleep without earplugs when your next door neighbour is snoring! Luckily the earplugs are provided from the hotel and can be found in the room. Nevertheless, not very pleasant if you can hear everything from the next room...
The bed, however, was very comfortable and we had a very spacious room.
If you have a room on the first floor you might want to pack a small overnight bag. It is quite risky to try to haul a 20+kg big suitcase up these very steep and small stairs. Could become a problem for eldery couples, so better ask for a room where you don't have to take the stairs. Dinner was ok but not exceptional. Breakfast could be better, not much choices. Restaurant in the cellar was not really cosy.

Tremendous hotel! Magical. Lovely geothermal pool. Elegant dining in an epic restaurant setting. Wonderful classic old rooms. Helpful staff. Didn’t want to leave.

Loved the natural hot springs spa which was open till late and then again before breakfast.

Nothing really bad about it, it’s just small with less amenities than usual and is a bit more dated

A lovely hotel, very comfortable, close to eateries and good position for walks etc. Good breakfast and the service was really good.

Be aware this hotel is older, the main building is from 1820, as such it has quirks of older buildings (squeaky floors, thin walls). With that being said, it was very clean and comfortable and a nice change from the usual chain hotels.

We are two couples traveling together in Iceland on the Ring Road. We absolutely loved this hotel. One of us was reminded of the old hotels in England he stayed in. The room was comfortable and clean. We loved the spa on the patio and we ate at the restaurant in the hotel and had a great meal. They even had a vegan option (one of us is vegan) made with vegetables from Icelandic greenhouses. The beds were comfortable and it was a quiet area. Staff were very friendly. Highly recommend.

Room was small and did not have room for opening luggage and moving around

We were on the 2nd floor of the annex, which required carrying our luggage up steep steps. The room itself had a lovely front view of the water and was quite spacious with a sitting room. The room was clean, beds were comfortable, the tv and WiFi worked perfectly and there was an easy to use espresso machine in the room as well as a selection of teas. The bathroom was an odd layout, very narrow with the shower tucked in the corner and a step up to get into. Anyone not fit would have a hard time getting in I believe. We didn’t use the geothermal hot bath as it wasn’t hot enough for us, but the location is perfect as it’s just a quick walk from the room. We ate dinner in the basement restaurant and it was a lovely experience with a terrific meal. Breakfast was also very good, having the usual Icelandic assortment. As someone sensitive to smells, I was irritated by the overuse of air fresheners. The smell in reception made me sneeze, and the one right outside our room was so overpowering I had to relocate it. I began noticing them everywhere and realize they must be in use to mask something less pleasant. The strong scent was far too overwhelming for me though.

Quit small hotel away from the city
Feels like home

This hotel is charming and visually appealing.

Starting with the positives: the hotel is very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the pillows are excellent. We had breakfast there, which was good, and I loved the restaurant’s decor.

However, there are some downsides. The hotel is expensive, there aren’t enough parking spaces, and the door to our room had a very stiff lock, which might need fixing.
But the biggest issue was the smell inside the room. While the corridors had no noticeable odor, the room itself had a strong, mold-like smell, though I didn’t see any visible signs of mold.

The property is conveniently situated within walking distance of various dining establishments.

Nicely decorated old house (we were staying in the main building) with well-functioning everything (friendly and welcoming staff, decent décor, nice toiletries, well-stocked coffee station in the room, WIFI, clean but a little bit too dark rooms with a few nice historic features).
We had a snack in the restaurant in the evening, and we did have breakfast - both went well, I would perhaps consider adding local cheese for breakfast (would definitely make hotel standout compared to the competitors).

This is one of the oldest houses in the country, so please be aware that it's not as sound-proof, as one might've wanted (but there are earplugs for light sleepers).
The sink in the bathroom was a little bit worn off and shall be lined up for a replacement.
You will need to take stairs - it's an old building, there's no elevator (and I didn't dislike it - just a thing to keep in mind when making a reservation).

Charming is the perfect word to describe this wonderful hotel. Sometimes charming is a bad thing, but in this case charming included all the modern conveniences, except a mini refrigerator. There is not much to do in this town, but the hotel room was worth the stay. We loved the swan and elephant towel sculptures as well. The only reason a 5-star review was not given is that anyone with a physical disability will have difficulty with the steep stairs inside and outside the hotel. Otherwise, the stay was fantastic.

Does not look like much on the outside but quite charming inside.

Heritage hotel that was very charming. Hot pot was nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Hotel is in a renovated old building which has a nice vintage feel with modern amenities. Nice breakfast in what I think used to be a bar 100 years ago, great decoration and the big plus is the pool outside with included bathrobes! Close to dining places just by walking.

This is a sweet quirky little chalet style hotel. It was built in 1833 ish and has some cool historical photos on the walls. It was fun to stay here for a night here after staying in more typical boutique hotels the rest of our trip. The receptionist was friendly and helped us find a place to eat near by when we arrived late, that we walked to. Breakfast was served in a tavern type space and was also wonderful. It felt very safe as well. The town it’s located in appears to be primarily a fishing village which is nice to see up close. It’s a short walk to the water from the hotel.

Tons of character in this "Oldest hotel in Iceland". Hotel dates back to the 1880's. Exposed old beams and a charming old feel along with wonderful husband and wife innkeepers made for a nice overnight stay on our ring road trip. Not much going on in this town, but good place to view northern lights. Due to the shortage of wood back in the day this building was disassembled and rebuilt multiple times before settling here. It has a cozy bygone old US west type feel with smaller rooms having obviously old wooden beams. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Spoke at length with both husband and wife owners about the interesting history of the place. They made great suggestions and even made phone calls to set up future lodging for our journey. Not super fancy but highly recommend.

Beautiful room, very unique from 1800’s. Breakfast was really good too! Very friendly staff.
