    Be prepared for a small room. Room 2 is just off the breakfast/reception/bar so can get loud. This was only an issue when a very loud (albeit happy- she kept laughing, loudly) guest checked out at 7:15am.

    Wonderful location, cozy room. The bar/breakfast area was welcoming. Chris, on staff when we checked in, was super helpful. He had a great recommendation for the fish and chips food truck just down the road. It was fabulous!

    Very small room - I requested a twin room but was given a double instead. Hardly any space for your luggage. My son and I are both 6.4ft tall so we both struggled.

    Perfect location - very friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee and tea available at the reception area. Nice breakfast for which you had to pay extra.

    A Nostalgic Gem in Stykkishólmur
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Hótel Egilsen was the smallest hotel I stayed at in Iceland, but it was by far the most enchanting! With only 10 rooms, booking a stay here feels like finding a hidden treasure. From the moment you step into the lobby, greeted warmly by Chris, you're transported to another time—it's like stepping into a time capsule. The soft oldies music playing in the background added to the charm, and the little library was a delightful touch (I even found myself reading Arabian Nights). My room, though small, was a perfect blend of quaint and modern, cozy and comfortable. The shower pressure was divine! The next morning, the ladies at the hotel had a delicious breakfast spread waiting for me. This is the kind of hotel you wish you could return to time and time again. I’m already looking forward to my next trip to Stykkishólmur and staying here while exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

    We needed to reserve a time for breakfast. The room was on the second floor. No elevator. They will help with luggage if you ask. The hotel needs a better sign! We had trouble figuring out where it was!

    A quaint hotel in an old home. The woman at the desk made us feel welcome. She was extremely helpful and was able to answer our questions about the area. The breakfast was served to each table and not a buffet. It was yummy. Very comfortable hotel in a great location for the ferry to the Westfjords.

    The person who checked us in was exceptionally helpful and checked nearby places availability for dinner for us & made suggestions for another place. She also helped with breakfast arrangements. We were told the rooms were small, but it fit us very well & the extra mattress was not in the way, as it is in some hotels. Rooms were very efficient.

    • Standard Double Room

    The rooms and bathroom are very very small. They work fine if you know what to expect and don't have too much luggage. But it's definitely not a room you can hang out in or spend too much time in.

    The staff is lovely, the hotel is very pretty, the common area for breakfast and tea/coffee/drinks is really nice and very social. We appreciated that tea and coffee (served to you at a table) is complimentary. We really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff and talking to them. We also appreciated that they let us split 1 breakfast for 2 people. It was a very generous amount of food and delicious. The restaurant across the street was very convenient (though pricey).
