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.
