The best breakfast we’ve had at a hotel. Wonderful variety and presentation. Our dinner was equally great. Having a chance to use the hot tub, cold plunge and sauna after a full day of hiking and driving was lovely.

I stayed here for one night in August with 3 friends. The location on the lake is absolutely picturesque, the spa was relaxing, dinner at the restaurant was delicious and their breakfast spread was the best of the 5 or so we experienced on our ring road trip.

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.
