Hótel Egilsen

Cozy, clean, hotel, with friendly staff. I took a solo trip in Iceland and got a warm welcome and hot tea from staff as soon as I arrived. It was cold and windy, and my third floor room was small and very cozy and comfortable. Breakfast was huge and delicious. I highly recommend this small hotel. It was one of my nicest stays in two weeks of travel in Iceland.

Beautiful Icelandic hotel in the heart of a small fishing village. Staff was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay. We really enjoyed our time here and were even able to see the northern lights from our room. Breakfast in the morning was also lovely

Excellent wee hotel with views of the harbor, the sea, and the town. The service is friendly, and a nice breakfast (cold) is available for a modest fee. We were quite comfortable in the tiny but very charming room. Even though the room is tiny, it is very well laid out, such that it meets all your needs - the owner clearly pays a great deal of attention to efficient, functional details without skimping of quality and style.

Elegant, and well restored! Loved the cozy feel, excellent attention to detail, helpful staff, comfy bedding & bed, awesome shower and relaxed atmosphere! Enjoyed happy hour and early am coffee & breakfast! Highly recommend! Also, could see Walter Mitty house from my top floor room, which felt a smidge *******, but no problem.

We chose the Hotel Eglisen because of its size (it only has 10 rooms). The ground floor bar and sitting room, where breakfast is also served, is cozy and welcoming. Our room was small but very comfortable with a gorgeous bed. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic with a great selection of juice, fruits, smoked salmon, cheese, eggs and homemade fruit bread. The undoubted crowning glory of our stay were the staff who were so friendly and helpful: nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for a memorable stay.

What a gorgeous little hotel. Friendly staff, retro decor, comfortable with a great breakfast . Really enjoyed our stay which wasn’t long enough. Breakfast was delicious home baked bread , fruit , cheese , salmon and skyr . A very quaint little fishing village

While the rooms are really small there is a whole lot to like about this hotel: the historic building, very nice staff, the location close to the harbour, nice furniture and the really good breakfast. You can smell the freshly baked croissants (excellent!) and bread which motivate you to get up. Everything is served at your table: the fruit plate, the smoothie, the skyr with berries and much more. Highly recommendable!!

Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. Staff are very nice and helpful.. Cosy, simple in a good way, clean, perfectly located and quirky in a charming way. Breakfast is very very nice with a good variety of fresh food. We really enjoyed staying here. Would recommend it.

The Egilsen is a quaint small hotel with 10 rooms. It’s in an old building and the rooms are on various floors (no elevator if that’s an issue for you). Staff was charming and welcoming. We had a Queen room which was comfortable but small, with a small en-suite bathroom. Fine for one night but might be uncomfortable for longer as there’s no place to spread out. We had tea downstairs when we first arrived in the combination lobby/dining area. With only two restaurants in town we had booked ahead at Narfeyrarstofa (see separate review). After the evening ferry arrived, town was quiet all night and we were comfortable, although we would have liked an extra pillow but they had none. We initially weren’t going to have breakfast here as it wasn’t included in our rate, but opted for it. It was amazing. See photos but there was cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple, grapefruit, cheese, eggs, salmon, breads and jam. Lovely and worth the price and convenience. We highly recommend this hotel but just know in advance that the room is small, smaller than some staterooms in cruise ships. But for one night it was charming.
