- Bryan (9/5): A night at Hotel Jokull - Friendly staff, food facilities and a lovely room. Nothing.

- Ivett (7/5): -
- Klaudia (9/5): -
- Stan (8/5): Friendly staff, great breakfast and location. - The location near Höfn was ideal. The facility had a large easy to navigate parking lot for larger vehicles and buses. The registration workers were knowledgeable and very helpful/friendly. The breakfast included a large typical Euro spread with breads, cereals, cold cuts of meat and cheese, pastries, boiled eggs and more. Juice, milk and coffee were included. Getting the breakfast is a good value. The rooms were very utilitarian but functional. Nothing.
- Chloé (8/5): Bien pour une nuit - Emplacement pratique
Grand chambre Insonorisation inexistante
L’hôtel est vraiment dans son jus
L’eau chaude était limite
- ANNE (10/5): Un bonheur ! - Le confort de la chambre, l’emplacement, le petit déjeuner, le rapport qualité prix et la tranquillité.
Le personnel était souriant et agréable 👍 Rien !

- Krislyn (10/5): It was great. - It was comfortable, warm, clean, had good internet and friendly staff. Breakfast was also delicious, I would love to stay here again.
- Patrick (9/5): Better than I expected - Rooms large and comfortable. Breakfasts fine. No restaurant for lunch and dinner
- Petra (7/5): - Das Zimmer war sehr klein und das Bad hatte nur eine Schiebetür, die nicht ganz schließt. Daher sollte man sich nicht an den Badezimmergeräuschen seines Partners stören:-) Frühstück war gut, das Personal (wie überall auf Island) super nett und freundlich.

- Inga (10/5): -
- Gilliane (7/5): - Emplacement visible depuis la route.
Arrivée fluide. Absence de personnel (self Check-in et Check-out)
Un numéro de téléphone est néanmoins mis à notre disposition pour les urgences.
Salle de bain mal isolée, laissant passer le vent.
- martina (10/5): Aurora e neve - Pulita, confortevole, non c è nessuno alla reception il
Check in lo fai veloce trovi tutto pronto. A causa di una bufera di neve siamo rimasti qui due notti e sono stati super gentili e ci hanno ridato la stessa camera allo stesso prezzo
L attesa che passasse la bufera di neve nel salotto è stata piacevole con divano comodo
Abbiamo anche visto l aurora Colazione un po’ scarsa ma ci siamo adattati bene a ciò che è stato offerto

- HOSAM (6/5): - Le calme Hôtel de tyle formule un amélioré
- Lau (7/5): - Buena luz en la habitación (no muy típico en los hoteles de aquí). Ventanal para poder ver auroras desde la cama. No hay personal a ninguna hora, hay un sobre con tu nombre en recepción.
- Lukas (7/5): - Zweckmässiges Hotel mit OK Frühstück.
Hiflsbereites Personal.
Unkompliziertes einchecken. Das Hotel liegt ziemlich ausserhalb.
- Noreen (9/5): Value for money - Great basic, comfortable room. It gave us all that we needed, comfortable bed and a nice shower.
- Hsiao Chun (4/5): - - water pressure very weak
- bathroom door cannot close properly
- room key not working on the next day
- John (3/5): Would NOT recommend this "hotel". - The view from our room. No phones. No refrigerator. We booked through Booking.com, so we did not get the free breakfast listed on their website for "every room". Very poor lighting; we had to put the tiny lamps on a stack of towels to be able to read (uncomfortably) in bed, as there was no suitable lighting for reading in the room. Small room with no place to put things; cramped area required us to move items multiple times. Loud, early morning banging from the tour groups which frequent this hotel (probably because of their relatively low rates). Dinner was very slow; it took one hour to get our food and there were only a handful of people in the restaurant. My food was cold and the portions ridiculously small (the hotel took 30% off my meal, but it was still overpriced for the portions served). I assume these three problems were related to the impending arrival of the tour buses, which took over the restaurant when they got there (48 people at once). We were there two nights. I thought about sleeping in my car the second night. Be forewarned, this is a glorified hostel more than a low price hotel.

- Angela (10/5): -
- Dennis (7/5): This place doesn't worth the value for what we had paid for. No refrigerator + shared Bathroom. - The staff was friendly. The place was clean. Refrigerator is not available in the hotel room. Expensive for a hotel that need to share the bathroom and restroom.
- Huei Yen (9/5): - 入住時雖然遇到一些問題,但check-in 一位男員工真的非常熱心幫我們處理,讓我們能安心休息,真的很棒,很感謝他,謝謝

- Lisa (7/5): Good to stay on your Iceland roadtrip. - Clean and decent but nothing special. The location is convenient for your Iceland roadtrip. Breakfast was good and so was the service.
- Matias (9/5): - We had a cancellation elsewhere so we made the booking late on the same day and staff helped a lot. They even got us a room with a view to the nearby glaciers.
The hotel and room exeeded our expectations. The brerakfast was very good too.

Ambiance en chambre quelconque
- Roxanne (8/5): -
- Belen (3/5): No había plato de ducha ni mampara e hizo la estancia incómoda. En el lavamanos no podías lavarte ni la cara de lo peque - Buena zona para ver auroras, aunque había que coger coche porque el hotel estaba lleno de farolas y las ventanas no podían abrirse. El baño sin plato de ducha ni mampara hacía que se mojara todo y era muy incómodo. El lavamanos era tan pequeño que no había forma de lavarse la cara. El hotel rodeado de farolas con mucha luz lo que te obligaba a coger coche para ver auroras. Las ventanas no podían abrirse. No había TV.

- Carolina (8/5): - Ottima posizione e colazione. Camere semplici ma spaziose
- Luiza (8/5): Great location and spacious! - Modern installations, friendly staff and great location! Although the bedroom was very spacious and comfortable the bed was really soft (which gave us back pain the next day) and the shower was overflowing so our bathroom looked like a pool after taking a bath.
- Jacques (6/5): -
- Lucille (8/5): - all good
- romina (10/5): -
- Rafael (10/5): -
- Francesca (8/5): -
- Krystal (8/5): Good one night stay - Good location Too many lights for Northern Light viewing. Should be something that can turn off the lights in the parking lot after a certain time
- Noam (9/5): - החדרים ברמה גבוהה מאוד יחסית, מאוד נקי, חם ונעים, המקלחת מצוינת והמים חמים.
- tsu yu (7/5): - used hotel . too expensive
- Wojciech (7/5): -
- Lenka (8/5): Short stay - Was clean, comfortable with English TV and location next to the ring road. Dinner service was fast and good portions. Could have shampoo and shower gel. And not great place for aurora as outside of the hotel was a lot of light.
- Ray (7/5): -
- Lindsey (10/5): Stargazing spot close to town - Comfortable beds.
Clean rooms.
Friendly staff.
Lounge area.
More remote - great for star gazing A mini fridge would have been a bonus.
The door unlocks as soon as you turn the handle on the inside- not ideal for curious kids. A higher lock out of the reach of children or one that stays locked until intentionally unlocking would be better.
- Katharina (10/5): -
- Daria (9/5): Zufrieden - Sehr sehr gutes Frühstück. Etwas kleines Zimmer für 4 Personen, aber für eine Nacht ausreichend.
- Halvani (8/5): - המארחת הייתה מאוד נחמדה והחדר אוכל היה גדול ועשיר החדרים ישנים מאוד
אמנם נקיים מאוד אבל העיצוב ישן
