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.

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.

A nice stay during my road trip. On the night of my stay, I'm lucky enough to stay in a big room with widows facing the north side so that I could enjoy the northern light in the room. it's worth for the money.
