Guesthouse Eyvindará is a combination of small cabins and at least one larger house. We stayed at Eyvindará II, a red house across the street from the registration area and cabins. It contains 3 small rooms - 2 rooms with 1 bed each and 1 with 2 beds. There is no sink in the room, but there are 2 bathrooms... More

Very clean, with nice and fairly big rooms and plentiful breakfast. It also is conveniently located near city and other local sites. The only downside was very noisy and rude co-guests. They would not let us use shared bathroom and made a lot of noise in the middle of the night.

As a group of 10 family members we were offered to rent a separate house (owned by the same family that owns the guesthouse and cottages) about a 5-minute drive from the main facility. The house is located in a residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Egilsstaðir. It has two levels and enough bedrooms and beds for 10 people. The... More

Out of 8 nights of staying different places during ring road trip, i would say Guesthouse Eyvindará is the best among all. Simply because the owner, Sibba is very friendly. We had a pleasant stay on 1st May 2011. The guesthouse is in good decent condition, good breakfast provided, but come with reasonable price. What more u could ask for?... More

We stayed here for one night on a self-drive tour of Iceland. The owner was very welcoming and friendly -- she seemed happy to have us as guests. The farm has some small wood cottages, but we stayed in what appeared to be a row of newly constructed guest rooms. The room itself was very nicely appointed and the bathroom... More

we spent a very good time in Eyvindara, even the weather was not adjusted on "sunny and hot". The cottage is pretty and calm, closed to Egilsstadir, easy to find. The people are great - like a family, and the breakfast (included) was perfect. Thanks again for the many information and all the rest! The Guesthouse is a good start... More

The small wood cottages were no vacancy. We stayed in a new rooms building; all the rooms, clean and basic, have big window with a nice view on the town and the lake. Good breakfast and nice ospitality.

We stayed two nights at the Eyvindara, which is located on the outskirts of Egilsstaðir. The guest house is about 2 km out of town. Our room was very spartan, and the amenities were rickety and worn. The owners were friendly and the breakfast was decent, but no hot food except for boiled eggs (fairly typical though). There isn't a... More

Location: My husband and I stayed here for just one night . We checked in after driving from Hofn through Oxi (amazing mountain driving). It about a two minute drive from the center of town but I prefered staying here because had a great view of the town and mountains. It was very convenient to stay there during our road... More
