Hotel Tindastoll is the oldest hotel in Iceland, dating back in 1884. The building came in parts from Norway and it was assembled as a storehouse in Hofsos between 1820 and 1829, moved later on to Grafarós in 1833 and finally shipped over the fjord and reassembled at its present location in Sauðárkrókur.

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

The last time I stayed at this hotel, I had the same thought: why did I order this hotel? It looked so lovely on the web, but when I arrived, it was so old and rundown, and it was pretty expensive. However, when I leave, I have a good feeling and good memories. The houses are old, one from 1884, I think, and the new annex from 1950, I think. You have to go outside to get between the two houses. Everything is so run down on the outside. But inside it is warm and cosy, with no bad smell. The room is lovely, with new windows and a comfortable bed. Service is satisfactory, and breakfast is simple but fresh. Strangely, everything in the hotel is in English - nothing in Icelandic, and the staff doesn't speak Icelandic.

Enjoyed our 1 night stay at this old fashioned style hotel. Our room was in the annexe, so was more modern, had a large bathroom. Well maintained and clean. There was a hot tub available to use outside. We had dinner here which was superb. We were told the owner was the chef, and the meal was one of the best in our 3 weeks in Iceland. The restaurant is in the original hotel and downstairs and full of character, and staff all excellent. Breakfast was also excellent. Very much enjoyed this hotel

This was the 6th hotel we stayed at during our 10-day drive around Iceland and was our favorite. The staff was fantastic and we took advantage of the laundry service which was worth every cent. The room was very well-appointed and the bed was quite comfortable. The restaurant was delicious and Ragnar, our waiter, was an absolute delight! We would absolutely stay here again!

Very old hotel, and quaint ! We had room 1 which was up very steep stairs. The room was large but dim and very old fashioned ( uncomfy) furniture. We like to have modern comforts - plugs by bed etc, and these were all lacking at this hotel. But I guess that’s not what they are aiming for…. Breakfast was in a dingy cellar- again not our cup of tea …… the food was absolutely fine but it was the strangeness of the decor ( stuffed animals etc ) which isn’t for us.

This is given in the context of a unique, old hotel (1884) in a small town in northern Iceland. Full of character, exposed beams and a local flavour. The rooms are not large but very comfortable. There is a nice small hot tub in the courtyard. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simple but good quality. The evening meal is a choice of one of two mains and a dessert with coffee for a fixed price. The food was home style but superbly cooked. Prefer this any day over cookie cutter modern hotels.

Really enjoyed our stay here. We had rooms 5 and 6. Lots of history to the hotel. Our rooms were clean and had great beds and breakfast was basic but good. Strange to be given ear plugs. However the walls are really thin and can get noise outside. If you are wanting for a hotel different to the norm. Give it a go.

The rooms are very large and have a lot of space. The staff is also very nice. The breakfast is just great and there is plenty of everything. The breakfast room is unique and quaint. The pot is a dream. It's in a great location, parking is available. I would have preferred not to look behind the nightstands, they've never cleaned them. Bathroom could also be cleaner. The drain smells in the bathroom. One of the most expensive accommodations on our trip.
