Beautiful views right on the lake. Very comfortable room and bed. The staff went above and beyond with any request. Good restaurant. Great midway stop in our trip that allowed us freshen our clothes with their washer and dryer.

Beautiful location, beside a farm, lake views, lobby decor was excellent & breakfast buffet was delicious. I did not eat dinner here or utilize the spa services, thus cannot rate them.

It is a very nice property. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa was great. Breakfast was good. I think the only con was there was a very strong sulfur smell in the Bathroom/Shower water. Otherwise everything was great.

Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, with local produce cooked perfectly. All the staff on the hotel and restaurant have been super friendly and helpful. The location next to the lake is pretty and peaceful. Taxis are hard to find here, but it only took 25 mins to walk from the airport.

Enjoyed our stay. Hotel was very charming with a friendly staff. The food was excellent. The room was clean with nice beds. The shampoo and conditioner that was available was so good. I will be purchasing some when i get home. Pizza place up the street was good as well.

The room was clean and comfortable, and it was spacious compared to other hotels during our trip. We were also able to use the laundry facilities which was very helpful. The stand out part of our stay was the food! The breakfast that was included with our stay was a full spread with tons of options, not the typical “free” breakfast. We highly recommend dinner at the hotel restaurant. It was our best meal during our 3 weeks in Iceland!

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.

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.
