"My stay at Hótel Blönduós was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had in Iceland. Everything started badly: I received a message informing me that the hotel had been rented out to a private company and that I had to choose between two alternatives. I picked Hotel Laugarbakki, their “sister hotel,” which unfortunately felt more like the neglected, poor relative of the family.
The property itself had an unsettling atmosphere, almost like a budget version of the Overlook Hotel from The Shining. The “luxury” room I was given was dirty, the bathroom door was a smoked‑glass panel that let in every bit of Icelandic summer daylight, and the blackout curtains were completely ineffective.
To make things worse, the towels were dirty and even torn, and the room clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly.
The whole situation felt misleading and unprofessional. I genuinely believe neither of the options they offered is worth considering."
"Bit of a hole in the wall. Expected a microwave/fridge in room but was communal. The communal area was in a bit of a state of shock. Room was on the small side and not much natural light. "
"Very friendly hotel. Lovely Scottish lady carried our bags upstairs and made us drinks with chocolates when we came in after dinner.
Cosy room and best beds ever!!!
Bathroom cold and a bit old fashioned looking. Needs renovating.
We ate at Sauda in the town as the restaurant wasn’t open. It was very nice.
Good breakfast. Lots of parking."
"The room and facility was fine, but this small town has very little to offer. We chose Hofsos because of the Sundlaug pool and hot baths, but they were mostly closed for maintenance. "
"Property was probably dorm rooms. It wasn’t terrible. We didn’t really have occasion to interact with staff. We stayed one night on our loop around Iceland. The town doesn’t have much by way of restaurants. Keep expectations basic. "
"This is such a magical spot !! The host was communicative and helpful and the property was cozy and well equipped. Possibly the favorite point of our trip! Plenty of room to spread out. Had to deal with a handful of flies on arrival that were stuck inside or dead but there was a lil vacuum so not a big deal. "
