Reviews of Hótel Egilsen

We had an amazing experience. Martha greeted us and we instantly felt welcomed. From the amazing service of describing the area and making dinner reservations for us, to the wonderful rooms, to the delicious breakfast, we could not ask for any more. THANK YOU!

Cute, historic building. Very cozy breakfastroom/lounge. Staff was friendly and helpful. Assisted in offering options for dinner and made dinner reservations. I opted out of the Hotel breakfast and staff provided other options in the area. Great location and parking.

The bathroom was not clean. Toilet had not been flushed from prior guest and there was debris on the bathroom floor.

Excellent, efficient, helpful, friendly staff.

Expensive, but everything in Iceland is expensive.

Amazing location. The hotel is so pretty and comfortable . The addition cost for the breakfast is well paid , was delicious . Thank to MARTA for gave us a huge welcome sharing any kind of information or helping, making us as at home. Good job !

Rooms are small but very comfortable and organized .

No doubt: the warmest possible welcome by Marta, the nicest hotel guest that I've met in many years and I have made hundreds of check-ins in those many years. Professional, kind and informative.

Staying a bit longer to finish a couple of pending conversations on Spanish music and Polish poetry.

Building is wonderful, and the facilities are as good as could be imagined without changing the nature of the building

Rooms, as advertised, are small

Very cosy property. The staff was extremely nice and flexible with us. Breakfast very good as well.

Nothing

Perfect location and coffee and tea always available.

Nothing.

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!

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.

Nice location; nice personnel; excellent Breakfast

Room is indeed rather small, but we knew this upfront

The shower was fantastic. The town was lovely although pretty far away from the sights. The hotel staff were great and very helpful.

Breakfast was not included, which made the cost even more expensive. The bed was not comfortable. This place is more a bed & breakfast (without breakfast) than a hotel. It was nice in many ways but fell short in others.

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.

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.

Gorgeous hotel. Very central with views on the harbour. Delicious breakfast available with homemade bits.

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.

The breakfast is exceptional, the staff was very nice and the location perfect

Beautiful location. Quaint little hotel. The staff was amazing.

The room are very small and there are no elevators.

The location of the hotel was great. Well designed and a fantastic shower

Room 1 was an awful location and was not even remotely soundproofed. You could hear everything from the floor above and everything from the foyer/entrance area.

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.

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!

Very nice location.

We booked 1 double room and a single room. Both were in the attic - two flights of stairs to be navigated with no elevator. One person in the double room could not sit up in bed because the head would hit the sloping ceiling. Virtually impossible to go to the washroom at night without climbing over the other person in bed. This was just NOT suitable as a double room.

Beautiful old house sympathetically converted to a hotel. Very central in Stykkisholmur with free parking. Very pleasant communal area with bar and free coffee and tea. Excellent breakfast Kris is a very attentive host.

The rooms are quite small with sloping roof on top floor.

The setting, the breakfast , the staff...and the building itself!
