From the outside, this hotel looks quite ordinary, but once we stayed there, we really liked it. The atmosphere was very warm and homelike. The decoration and furniture reminded me of my grandmother's house, which made me feel comfortable and relaxed.

The room was spacious and had everything we needed. We only had breakfast there, but it was also very homelike and enjoyable.

To be honest, after staying there, I felt like I wanted to stay a few more days. It was one of those places that makes you feel at home rather than staying in a hotel.

The place is a tad outdated, but it has a great nostalgic look and charm. The free breakfast was fantastic, and the dinners were really good. The wifi was spotty, but nothing that toggling between the two networks didn't solve. The location is fantastic, we stayed for two nights and were able to make day trips toward Vatnajökull National Park, Jokulsarlon and Fjallsárlón lagoons, and Diamond Beach one day, then toward Hofn and Stokksnes the next.

We'd definitely stay here again and suggest the hotel to anyone looking to spend a few days in this area.

The breakfast here was excellent, with tons of options. We got to see one of our two nights of northern lights during our eight nights stay here, which was absolutely incredible. The room was quite cold and we couldn't find the thermostat to turn anything up, so that was a little bit of an inconvenience. The room layout was a little bit strange as well, along with the embroidered pillows. I know it feels more country style, but they are definitely not comfortable to lay on all night. I would definitely stay here again though, I'm just being nitpicky at this point.

After a long day driving Route 1 from Reykjavik, we easily found the hotel just a short distance from the highway. Plenty of free parking. We had twin beds and our room was very clean. I was pleasantly surprised to see a vegetarian dinner offered on the restaurant menu. The breakfast was a buffet with many selections. Service was prompt and friendly. After a good night’s sleep and a hardy breakfast, we were ready to resume our trip.

A nice cozy option for an overnighter

This is a functional hotel for couples for an overnight stay enroute to East Iceland on route 1. Breakfast was quite adequate and 24x7 freshly brewed coffee, tea and hot water is a great option for tired tourists needing it without using the processed packets that is common in most hotels. Location and view is great. Shower area is constrained as is common in most Iceland hotels and Airbnbs.

This quaint guesthouse was delightful. Our room had views of the hills and waterfalls. The restaurant on site was tasty and servers and staff friendly. The hotel is filled with antiques, which makes walking around more interesting. They also have several coffee machines and these drinks are free. Complimentary reakfast buffet included scrambled eggs, hot and cold breakfast meats, homemade jams and cakes, beans in tomato sauce, and fresh homemade bread. There is an interesting whale skeleton in front of the restaurant outside.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The decor was unique n unusual which was interesting. It seemed like it needed some updating. Staff was friendly and helpful. The food (dinner and breakfast) was great.

We were in Iceland for ten days and, by far, this was our favorite place to stay. The staff are the most wonderful people - everyone was so friendly and helpful. We loved our spacious, clean room. The meal we had at the restaurant was our favorite meal of the ten days. DO NOT drive to a restaurant; do yourself a favor and eat at Hotel Smyrlabjorg. When we return to Iceland, we will be looking to stay here again. Don't pass up an opportunity to experience this place.

Clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious hotel with great character, full of interesting history displayed in the common areas. We unintentionally arrived quite late and the staff were very nice. The buffet breakfast is excellent. My husband and I had a wonderful stay last week.

Good South Coast option

Booked on late plans to go to the south coast. We found the hotel to be perfectly clean and comfortable. Also, that was the darkest we got a room this entire trip with 20 hrs of sunlight. Breakfast was fun but the only food for 30+ min all directions. Definitely needs an interior update.

Best breakfast buffet, comfort stay

The room is big. Has hot water, the highlight is the breakfast buffet. It is the best I have had in my past travel years.

Great hotel, great stay. Highly recommend.

Fantastic hotel, great bar, breakfast and food.

Was pleasantly surprised how good it was given it was very rural and seemed in the middle of nowhere. Down the road from a lake that is phenomenal.

Staff were great, food was great, free coffee, free parking, nice comfortable beds and big rooms. Highly recommend.

Lodgings in this area are generally expensive so the review is ignoring that aspect. The hotel is old but for most part it doesn’t seem dated. Room interiors were bright and very clean but bathroom can use minor refresh to fittings. Staff was very friendly and ready to help. Breakfast was served in a lovely cafeteria , had lots of selections and quite wonderful.

When I checked in, I was told that there was no WiFi service in the rooms. If you want to use WiFi, you'd have to work in the lobby. However, I was able to get WiFi service in my room with no problem. So, YMMV depending on the room you get.

Quirky large hotel full of Icelandic memorabilia in the common areas. Good place to break the journey across southern Iceland.

Comfortable room.

Annoying that wifi is so bad (I had some work to do & had to give up).

Good breakfast was included which was very welcome.
