Beautiful setting on a farm & lake. We walked around & pet the cows, horses, & a sweet black kitty. The breakfast buffet was superb. Great location, right in town with plenty of dining options & gas right across the street. This did not bother us, but if you’re not used to the smell of a farm, the cow smell may bother you, so be aware of that. We, however, loved everything about our stay.

This hotel has the best restaurant in the area. It is easy to walk to other resturaunts in Egilsstadir from the hotel. The location in Egilsstadir is ideal for day trips to the many different sites in Eastern Iceland.

Lovely hotel with comfortable room
This hotel is lovely for what it is. Really cosy vibes throughout. Lake views out of the back of the hotel with mountain views to the front. The room was basic but completely expected given the star rating of the hotel. It was functional, spacious and comfortable. Staff were all friendly. Bar area was lovely with option to sit outside. Quite a selection available at self service breakast. We were able to walk into town from this hotel easily for dinner options. And you can get to the lake side as well.

Excellent stay. The restaurant is one of the best in town and won’t disappoint if you don’t want to move off-site for dinner. Very cozy, lounge, comfortable. It is so close to the airport. Have the hotel arrange a taxi for you if you don’t rent a car. I highly recommend. 5 stars.

Absolutely loved this property. The artwork in the lobby alone was captivating in how it used historical elements from previous versions of the hotel to tell the story of the hotel. Great cocktails and a lovely breakfast buffet all situated in a great location. If you are here, you are probably doing the Ring Road, only a short drive from the thermal areas of Myvatan and walking distance to both the lake and some off the beaten path thermal caves you can enjoy.

The hotel itself was nice, good room and spa, the restaurant had good food. But the smell was HORRIBLE. Beware it smells very strong of sulphur outside the hotel and in the water. As soon as you turn on the sink or the shower, you get smacked with a horrible stench. And there was a loud screeching noise all night that was annoying. Other than that, the actual room is decent and the hotel staff was very nice.
