Located just off the main coastal route is convenient but located in basically an industrial area - not scenic. Rooms are clean and functional but although we did not have a major problem ourselves it was obvious that room sound proofing is not the best. I would recommend asking for a first floor room as we had a small herd of elephants above us - luckily they went to bed quickly :) Dining room was nothing like it looked on the website - fine for breakfast but not an evening meal. We never ate in the evening so can not comment on the food standard. Breakfast was plentiful and adequate. Hot tubs were present in a central courtyard but not inviting which was a pity. If looking for a basic pit stop this hotel would suffice.

The costumer service was terrible. I forgot my baby mattress and no one let me know that is was left behind. I was in another part of the country when i realized it was gone My friend went to pick it up at lunch the day after. My mattress was in the lobby and the staff would not hand it over because they where having lunch. They made my friend watch them eating a few feet away right next to my property for 30 minutes. More people needed assistance, the hotel was paralized because it was lunch time. Beware costumers to avoid this hotel or not need assistance while there, the staff is unreliable and unfit for service work.

Hotel Hvolsvollur was fantastic. After seeing that check in closed at 10pm, I emailed to inform the hotel that we might be a little later than 10pm due to picking up our car rental and being new to the Icelandic roads. The hotel were very accommodating and emailed back quickly to say they would stay open for us. We really appreciated the hospitality after such a long and tiring day! The staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming. The rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable bed! We also enjoyed our breakfast in the morning which has a nice variety of food and drinks. Over-all we loved this hotel and would stay again!

A little gem of a hotel in a little town. Friendly front desk staff, a very sizable room, and within walking distance to restaurants. A dip in the hot tub before bed was just the way to end a long day of sightseeing. Very comfortable beds, very clean facility. Excellent spread for breakfast. My only regret was we couldn't stay longer.
