Very basic, key cards left on the counter and no staff at check in. No elevator so be aware you'll be dragging luggage up several flights of stairs. Our balcony door did not close at all. Breakfast was good mainly cold cuts, cheese, bread and fruits.
Bathroom shower floods but not the end of the world.

Liked the fact that there were good vegetarian options in their dinner menu and the fact that there was a second dining room called living room, away from the throng of diners.

We had no complaints about the room, just a nice quiet place to spend the night despite being close to the ring road. Breakfast is included and was very nice. The receptionists are friendly and wifi works without issues.
Parking is not a problem as there is a big parking lot available.

This was our 2nd time staying at Hotel Jokull and would definitely stay again. The rooms were very clean and had everything we needed. There were 3 adults and we never felt cramped in the triple room. Breakfast was great. The area is beautiful and only a short drive to Höfn. We highly recommend staying here.

The rooms were spacious. The staff was friendly. The issue with the shower wetting the whole bathroom floor was a problem especially when there are no shelves or hooks to keep your toiletries and clean clothes. Breakfast was good.
