Although we did not stay at this Guesthouse, the restaurant was recommended to us by the hotel manager where we stayed in Egisstadir. very welcoming staff, great food, lovely dining room & amenities. Interestingly, food is served at gas stations in Iceland and the nearby N1 gas station is no exception. The restaurant at the N1 had a dinner for... More

Set right up against the lake edge this hotel is beautifully decorated inside, rooms are cosy and comfy with iron, hairdryer, kettle, tea, coffee and a TV. The views out the lakeside windows on the 2nd floor are amazing, we got here in time to see the sunset reflected over the frozen lake, just wonderful! And the food is outstanding,... More

The hotel is in the centre of town (albeit a small one). Rooms are modern and clean. Food in the restaurant is very good. Fine for a stop over on the way to or from the north.

I stayed here for just one night but it was enough to say that this place is very good. Just few meters from the center of the village, confortable, clean and cozy with a very good cusine. The room was large enough with wardrobe, wood desk just in front of the window and amenities. The staff is kind and are... More

(Gistihús Egilsstaða in Icelandic) We just fallen in love with this place. We did a 2 week trip in Iceland and Guesthouse Egilsstadir was one of our 2-3 best accommodations (competing with Hotel Selfoss and Hótel Laki-Efri Vik) The slight disappointment when discovering I had to climb two floors by stairs with luggage for all my family, was quickly replaced...

We stayed one night in this cozy hotel during our two week trip round Iceland. Room (with private facilities) was big and clean. Hotel has free wireless internet. We didn't have supper in the hotel, but it seems to be a choicy restaurant in the area. Breakfast buffet was very good and staff were all friendly ! Definitely recommended

We had a great stay at this guesthouse. I was cautious as I had never stayed at a farm guesthouse but this the perfect setting, rooms were large and decorated beautifully. Staff was pleasant, location ideal, next to lake and close to town. One night ate at the restaurant it was fabulous. Breakfasts were also great. I would recommend this... More

Beautiful place and lovely restaurant. I really enjoyed the decor. Most places where we stayed while in Iceland were very basic, but this wasn't (we booked our trip, including this place, through Icelandic Farm Holidays). I felt like we were staying in a three or four star hotel. We only spent one night and didn't really get to explore the... More

This "guesthouse" is more similar to an hotel, with a lot of nice rooms and a very good restaurant. It is located on the lakeside and even if it reminds sometimes of an ancient orphanage (and the atmosphere is a bit dark), is maybe the best hotel where we stayed in Iceland. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, the... More
