Hótel Tindastóll

Belle découverte de cet hôtel historique de Saudarkrokur. Personnel aux petits soins pour ses invités , petit déjeuner impeccable dans une belle salle du restaurant. Notre voyage islandais en a été encore plus beau grâce à cet endroit. On y retournera.

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.

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.

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.

This hotel was excellent. Easy check in with pleasant and professional staff. Our room was very clean and had a comfy bed with lots of pillows! The bathroom had plenty of water pressure and lots of hot water. Breakfast was excellent! Plenty of tasty options and fresh filtered coffee! Value for $$$ was top notch! Would recommend. Thanks
