Review: I loved this location and the property itself. It had everything I needed to be comfortable. There were no staff present, but the self check in was very easy and they were responsive by message when I had a question. The reviews mentioned it being a good place to see the northern lights (on a clear night, of course) and they were right! The hot tub and sauna are small, but wonderful. During my stay, there were just two other rooms booked and I was able to use both amenities solo. The kitchen was..., by Jessica, October 15, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: The town is definitely a bit depressed economically and not a lot going on. That being said the Hotel Tindastoll is a bright light in the grey town. The hotel is on the national register and is a quaint and charming place - a strong contrast to a lot of iceland's very modern decor. Dagmar - the manager/host of the hotel is extremely helpful and nice. Our rooms were large and comfortable. The hotel has a nice "sitting room" that allowed us to relax with a glass of wine as we read and reviewed..., by Lisa, July 14, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: We stayed here in early May and practically had the hotel to ourselves. I think only one other couple was staying that night. Despite having so few customers, the hotel put out their extensive buffet breakfast as usual. That was impressive! The room was comfortable and spotless. The location is convenient for visiting the Glaumbaer turf house museum and exploring the Skagafjordur area (a birder's delight)., by Kristine, May 28, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
