We absolutely loved this hotel! The lady that checked us in was very helpful and our room was excellent. We had plenty of room to spread out, the bathroom was very clean, and the beds were very comfy. There were plenty of outlets for each side of the beds which was nice. Breakfast was the best one of our trip! Presentation was beautiful, but it was also healthy and tasty. Loved the smoothies!

The only very slight drawback is that parking is a bit tight as people use it to go to the restaurant across the street. The lady at the desks told us how to park though, so it worked out.

We were on a 2-week trip in Iceland for my hubby's 50th birthday and this was his favourite place. I don't think they knew it was his birthday but they treated us better than anywhere else. It is an impeccably-furnished, totally gorgeous historical guesthouse with wonderful staff, food and warmth. Our room was small but perfect and breakfast was delicious. The town itself is really lovely. Make sure you pre-book Sjavarpakkhusid (kind of opposite) restaurant for dinner - it was also glorious (see photos). Thanks for making this such a special stop on our Icelandic journey!

I just loved Hotel Egilsen. I have a single room and, yes, it was one of the smallest rooms I have ever stayed in (and i have stayed in quite a few small rooms across Europe). But it was super comfortable and I felt very much at home. The room was very well organized for its size, with plenty of storage and organization space built in. The bed was very comfortable. Best, the shower was phenomenal. Amazing for such a small, historic property. I loved my view and the location right next to the harbor. In sum, it was just a joy to stay at this historic charming small hotel. Breakfast was nice too and worth paying for. WiFi worked great too.

I liked everything!

This is a hotel full of character, in a lovely small fishing village. We very much enjoyed our one night stay in the village but we were glad we were only one night in the hotel. Our room was clean and tidy. We were greeted in a very friendly way too and the staff were very helpful.

I knew that we had an attic room but I honestly hadn't appreciated how tight it was for space. We had to pull the bed away from the wall so that my husband could get in , because of the sloping roof. If I had realised, I would have paid a bit extra for a bigger room. The bed was also smaller than I had expected too. Because of previous reviews and the price of the hotel, I was expecting something really special and I ended up a little disappointed. This was our last stop after staying at a number of other places around Iceland and I felt it was overpriced compared to most of the other places we had stayed in. The breakfast was not included in the roommate either and it would have been about 21€ each and that seemed very expensive, even by Icelandic standards.

A very welcoming experience in a hotel that feels far more personal and in ways more like a guest house. The staff were very helpful and accommodating, happy for us to bring fish and chips from the harbour front (Hafnarvagninn - recommended) to eat in the cozy reception where many guests were hanging out with a drink. We opted for breakfast (which wasn't included) and this was really well presented, not as a buffet but as an individual full table spread.

Our room was a little bit small as it was situated in the eaves of the building and the bathroom door, being made of smoked glass, didn't provide quite as much privacy as I'd have liked

The place is in a great location, just up from the harbour in a lovely spot . The rooms are cosy, a little tight on room, but very comfortable and modern. The staf are great, check-in a breeze and ready to help with dinner reservations or on what to see in the area. Lovely area by reception to have a hot drink, read or spend a few minutes. Breakfast was offered and was well worth it. Would stay again

Nothing really.. the rooms were cosy, but well furnished and decorated.

We really enjoyed our stay there. The hotel is beautiful, as is the suurounding. The superior double room is quite cozy and has enough space. Do not know about smaller rooms.

Everything was great, but I would like to suggest a few things like bigger pillow and to put two pillows, not just one. I wasn't satisfied with the room cleanning because they did not take the garbage bin and did not clean the bathroom tilles floor. It would be nice to have samo table with chairs outside. But everything was excellent!

Comfortable spaces, common space for morning breakfast or to sit with an evening drink. Unpretentious and folksy. Great location. Exceptional staff here and at the companion facility the Hotel Karólína a block away (can’t emphasize this strongly enough). Breakfasts are absolutely wonderful and entirely worth the additional charge. Highpoint of our 3-week Iceland circuit!

Nothing to dislike.

We loved the atmosphere, it was cozy but chic. The smallest details like the handmade cups and organic icelandic soaps made it feel luxurious but homey. The staff were absolutely amazing, they went out of their way to make our stay so special and memorable. Krzysztof the night guard was super helpful and nice as well as the woman (sadly didn’t get her name) who served breakfast and was a great host during the day. It was so cozy and nice that we loved hanging out in the bar area with a cup of tea and playing scrabble.

very homey lt was warm and friendly staff that was sooooooo helpful. Christopher went over and above the call of duty by helping coordinate a tour that had originated in Reykjavik. staff drove us in their own car to meet the tour. great meal recommendations too. yummy breakfast with warm home made bread Christopher also helped me with seei the northern lights🙏

nothing could be better
