We are group of family (6 people) and booked 2 triple rooms which they managed the room to be closed as requested. The triple rooms have 2 levels (2 beds on the first floor and the other one on the second floor) which is really lovely. There are big windows to see the view which is different between first and second floor. The view from the room is beautiful. There are a lot of parking lot available, and we can temporarily park near the building to bring our luggages down first. The checkin and checkout process is easy.

The horsefarm is literally located in the middle of nowhere and it’s an amazing experience driving through the herd of horses which are super curious and nice. The house is well-equipped and the host is super helpful and friendly. When we were there, there were only ours and one more room taken and we had plenty of space, I’m not sure what it’s like when all the rooms are occupied, but for us it was perfect.
Featuring a hot tub, Stóri-Bakki Guesthouse-with hot tub is situated in Egilsstadir. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a picnic area.

Everything was great. Clean, spacious and comfortable. The next day we had a fantastic horseback riding trip with Helga, who paid us a lot of attention. Thank you.

We stayed at the Berjaya overnight as we were driving the N1 ring road, we visited the Vok baths, an absolute must if you are visiting Egilsstadir.
It’s only a 5 minute drive from the hotel it was wonderful.

This was a great stopping point after driving the eastern Fjords on a Sunday. They had a couple places that were open where we could eat, get gas and groceries. This town was a nice place to stay after driving through many of the lovely villages along the coast and before heading to Husavik. You're also close to Hengifoss and not far from Studlagil Canyon, though we only drove halfway down the road before we gt nervous with the icy road right on the side of a cliff.

We loved the tourist info center there along the lake with the Gunnar Gunnerson museum and restaurant. We had a great buffet meal there. We enjoyed the tourist rest area because the lady there spent time with us as we looked around at the exhibits. It was an unexpected surprise.

Good hotel overall.
Locally, we went to Vik Baths, very good experience.
On our 10 day driving the Ring Road, we had already visited the Blue Lagoon. Vik Baths was an alternative to the Blue Lagoon, well worth visiting.

Small town, cannot say too much about it. We had here a stop and stayed at the Ormurrinn Cottages.
Egilsstadir has everything you need to fill up for your road trip: supermarket & gas station ;-)

Practical location. A lot of to explore around the town. We were on a short travel and the weather was fine, so we didn't use a lot of services there. We are planning an other travel there because there are so much to do 😀
This hotel was the gem of our stay in Iceland. The staff is an adorable family that is incredibly proud of what they have built here, as they should be. Food in the restaurant was amazing, the rooms were well appointed with beautiful views over the mountains or lake surrounding the town. The hot tubs had stunning views out over the lake. We even got to see the northern lights, with the lake in the background, it was a memorable experience! Highly recommended
We were booked to stay in a "cottage" but when we arrived we found there was an unpleasant smell in the accommodation possibly due to the previous occupants. The owner of the hotel was very helpful and moved us to a room in the annex of the hotel with a complimentary breakfast to make up for our disappointment. Breakfast was actually very good with lots of choice. The hot tubs were also good to relax in at the end of the day.
All staff was extremly friendly and helpfull. The breakfast was not too rich in choice but the quality of every single piece was outstanding. The hotel is situated in the middle of a wood and the rooms have a bit of bungalow style. The view on the lake is very charming. We were not rushed for breakfast end or to check out. Maybe the stay we enjoyed the most during our trip.
The room is a good size and pleasant; don't let the outside or corridors put you off. The breakfast is good, especially the little chocolate muffin things but we avoided the scrambled eggs. Parking is easy, and the hotel is easy to find. Wifi was good. This is a good base for exploring the East Fjords.
Nice bar, unfortunately the waiter doesn’t know what he sells. But he was really kind and nice. He did great effort. Waffle at breakfast. Nice choice at breakfast, fresh fruits, coffee machine. Parking in front of the door. Hotel easy to find. Nice view from the room.
This is a hostel not an hotel and is a quality stay for what it is. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. Showers and toilets were close to the rooms and were sufficient in number. The kitchen was was good too. Happy hour from 3 til 7 a bonus.
The owner of this place was amazing and super helpful. We had a really nice stay at this hotel, everything is brand new and clean. Very cosy place to stay right on the ring road trip. Definitely one of the best places during our Iceland trip!
Staff was very friendly, there was confusion between the hostel and hotel regarding the booking. At the end of the day still got what was listed on the site. The woman behind the front desk quickly fixed the issue and was very apologetic.
Very comfortable, warm and clean room with well equipped kitchen and good bathroom
Nice interior: authentic, cosy, vintage
Very nice, hospitable and communicative host
Beautiful location with view on the river, close to Egilsstadir
Very cosy hotel with nice and comfortable room. Great ambience in the hotel lobby that comes with a nice snowy view in winter was exceptionally nice to hang out. Our room faces the town. Staff were helpful and friendly.
This was a great place for us to stay when passing through Egilsstadir. The small living space was well appointed and comfortable with an expansive view of the valley. And the hot tub was wonderful.
A really good choice in Egilsstadir. Coming from the US, nothing in Iceland can be categorized as a good value but relatively it was a good size room with nice views, and great supportive staff.
Finnstadir is located near Egilsstadir with outstanding views to the valley and the airport (if you have visibility). Ideal planespotting location. The house is cozy a well-equipped.
Standard and simple hotel with amenities you would expect. Breakfast was expansive and good. In future I would choose something more "local" and not a large-size hotel chain.
Hotel staff were very nice and answered a few questions about the area. We were shown to our room quickly within arriving and everything was very clean and orderly.
Lovely breakfast.
Woken in the middle of the night by some alarm going off.
Water has strong sulfer odor. Not a real issue.
The hotel is next to a farm.
Before we stayed at Edda in Hofn and I don't want to say Edda Egilsstadir was a big disappointment, but definitely was below the quality we got in Hofn.
