I liked that breakfast was included and the history of the place was interesting. It's also impressive that it's a family business. Great service too.

A very lovely hotel, enjoyed our stay. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was wonderful. The breakfast buffet was great, lots of choices of eggs, meats, cheeses, including various homemade breads and jams. I would definitely recommend Hotel Smyrlabjorg.
