Staff and location were great.

“Cozy stay in a traditional building in Stykkisholmur”

Cute boutique hotel in a traditional building right by the port in Stykkisholmur. There are two excellent restaurants just across the street, and a nice Icelandic breakfast is provided by the hotel. The hotel has a small bar which is excellent for pre- (or post-) dinner drinks. Stykkisholmur is a very pretty little town and a great spot to stop before a day driving around the Snaefellnes peninsula.

Absolutely lovely hotel in the little town of Stykkisholmer. Supercozy rooms, very Friendly and helpful staf and maybe best breakfast ever. Just a perfect place.

Breakfast was amazing! Free coffee/tea. Cute historical building, very nicely decorated, had an excellent shower.

“A charming hotel in the heart of town.”

Stayed over in Hotel Karolina across the street which had larger rooms, very nice upstairs room with views to kill for. Great breakfast - dinner in Sjávarpakkhúsið, in my view one of the the best restaurants in Iceland. Great staff.

“Excellent, friendly and well-run small hotel in a great location.”

Lovely old house beautifully converted to 10 bedrooms. Friendly, helpful staff made us feel at home there. Nice cold breakfast ready prepared to suit our schedule.

Easy to find and very comfortable rooms. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable.

The staff made this stay really enjoyable. Had a great chat to Marta (Martha?) while we sat in the lovely common area downstairs and flipped through their excellent selection of books.

“great location, had everything we needed, nice relaxed area to chill in after a day of sightseeing”

Location, friendly helpful staff, very comfortable

Very homey feel about the place, room was not so big but for 1 nt was fine, comfortable beds and nice to be able to serve yourself downstairs in the lobby area with tea/coffee - lovely staff, very friendly and helpful. Would recommend, very pretty village with a lovely lighthouse plus we saw the Northern Lights! WOW!

“Great stay at Hotel Egilsen”

Location was great, and staff was great. Extra bonus to have Bruno the hotel dog.. Charming hotel in an old historical building.

“Very welcoming and cosy :-)”

It was very cosy and welcoming. The staff was really nice and were very helpful if there was something I needed to know. Slept very well in the room and it felt like as I was in a cosy home. The breakfast was super good.

“The Small town ,,Home away from Home “ 😉”

So kozy and inviting! The property is so well organised and the rooms are so cute and well decorated and designed 😉

“Everything you could ask for”

It was clean, comfortable and all of the spaces were beautiful. The people there were very friendly and helpful!

The hotel is in a great location, comfortable and it feels more like staying with friends than at a hotel. Monica was wonderful, very helpful with travel advice and places to visit and we loved all the books and comfy chairs in the lounge.

“The perfect hotel in the perfect location”

Stykkisholmur is a picture-book pretty town at the eastern end of the Snaefelsnes Peninsula, looking out to the north towards the fjords. As a setting it's both remote and breathtakingly beautiful. The Hotel Egilsen is a small, cosy hotel in the harbour area, and honestly it's just the best hotel we've ever stayed in. This has a very great deal to do with Monica, who runs the reception desk, makes legendary breakfasts, serves coffee and biscuits whenever you ask, recommends wonderful walks and restaurants, and just generally makes you feel so so welcome you never want to leave. We're already making plans to return - to Snaefelsnes, to Stykkisholmur and to Hotel Egilsen! Oh, and one further note. If you come here, don't miss Sugandisey Island. You can walk to it across a causeway from Stykkisholmur harbour, and the views from the top of the cliff are unforgettable. But then everything about Stykkisholmur is unforgettable.

“An unexpected nice surprise”

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.

Beautiful house, beautiful lobby, beautiful rooms, beautiful location. Monika was super friendly. I will definitely come again.

“Fantastic location, staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay amazing”

Fantastic location, staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay amazing

“Generally speaking, it's okay for one night stay.”

hotel stuff is kindly, he kept waiting for us till 10:30 pm, and helped us carry the big luggages to our room which locates at 3rd floor. Very nice. And the location is very good — the moment you step out, you're right on the very street that served as the filming location for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
