As usual a stay in this hotel is wonderful. Egilsstadir was very icy and we were very happy to stay in this guesthouse. Excellent room with a view on the lake. We were the only guest of the guesthouse and we got a first class service. The swiss chef prepared a nice diner for us. We will come back.

Excellent dinner, very reasonable rates in October, decent Internet speeds and comfy beds. Each room has its own shape and character. Staying there a couple of nights I determined that the rooms on the 3rd floor are better generally. Not a lot to do around egilsstadir, but if you are going there stay here.

I stayed here just one night as a guide during a round trip around Iceland. We arrived late but that was no problem. The food at the restaurant was good and the service was good. The beds were good and the rooms ok. WiFi worked well. The best thing was the laid back athmosphere and an excellent location, out at... More

We did not stay at the guesthouse, but visited the restaurant based on a recommendation we saw online. We got to the restaurant in a bit of a hurry, after a long day of driving and sightseeing, so felt a bit underdressed - the place seems very posh and upmarket (although I felt more relaxed on seeing the guy at...

We did not stay at the Guesthouse as I was booked in at the Icelandair Hotel up the road. We did head over for lunch though as it came highly recommended by the knowledgeable girl at the visitors centre in Egilsstadir. She said it was a relaxing and inviting place for lunch or dinner. She was on the money. It... More

We stayed here for one night. It was a welcome break from the B&B's we had been staying in. Was much more like a small country Inn. We had a room on the top floor which overlooked the lake. It was lovely. The room was quaint, the bathroom small but perfect. It had a nice romantic feel to it. We... More

I stayed at Egilsstadir guesthouse for one night in Jul 2012. The guesthouse is fairly large (it is actually an old 19th century hotel restored fy the owners) and located by a river and farms. The staff and owners were very friendly and the welcome felt really genuine. It houses a great restaurant which prides itself for its beef. I... More

I loved my overnight at Guesthouse Egilsstadir! The restored farmhouse is undeniably charming and the many family/property keepsakes on display will keep your interest for hours. The cow-shed lends itself to unsavory scents if the breeze is blowing just right, but the effort to keep that at bay are noticeable... and visiting the sweet cows was a hoot (I didn't... More

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
