Stykkisholmur

A good location in the middle of the town. Our room was on the first floor and was small but very neat and clean. The staff were very obliging and helpful although we were asked to pay the account on check in and the person in charge tried to add another 4000ISK to our already confirmed price. We refused and were told he would have to check with the Manager who was out of town. The thing that upset us was that he could not explain what the extra amount was for. Before we paid the bill on departure we were advised we would only have to pay our original amount with still no explanation about extra payment. We also thought the breakfast was not value for money and we were both given individual trays containing a small continental break fast. 

A less than satisfactory stay

This quirky little hotel sits almost on the harbour front. The welcome was truly great.  Friendly, with oodles of help yourself divine teas and coffee. The rooms were basic,  but cosy, warm and comfortable. Breakfast was really good. A fabulous selection of fruits, breads and pastries, muesli, together with smoked salmon,  cheese , eggs and basic salad items. 

Quaint but superb

Though small, the hotel provided us with a great shower and a comfortable bed.  Right across the street from the fabulous Narfeyrarstofa Restaurant (which we ate at both nights during our stay in Stykkisholmur) their breakfast was also absolutely delicious and oh so fresh!  It was well worth traveling a little further than we wanted to on our visit to the Peninsula to take in the entire ambience.

A Perfect and Quaint Country Hotel with Incredible Service!

I agree generally  with the other reviews but beware of room no 1.
It is located near the entrance to the hotel and reception and every one passes by the room even while entering  the hotel. More than   coming  to the hotel one passes the window of the room. The room  it self is tiny and the washbasin is in the room and not in the tiny bathroom.

Tiny room in Boutique hotel 

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.

Quaint small hotel

It's a crazy charm, you'd think it was a movie with the harbor atmosphere, very comfortable, very clean, typical and very warm decoration, excellent breakfast, very cosmopolitan staff, lovely.

A typical warm and comfortable hotel

Absolutely LOVED our stay here. The free coffee bar, the music playing, the bookshelves and the games, the communal atmosphere. It was all such a welcoming beacon coming in from the massive snowstorm. Our host even gave us dinner on New Years Day because nothing was open :) The rooms were so comfy and the bathroom was completely new and renovated. I can't wait to come back when the peninsula is in more full swing.

Our little snowy sanctuary

Exceptional welcome and availability of staff who understand exactly what tourists are looking for. They have good advice on what to do on the peninsula and where to eat. Breakfast is healthy and full of colors. I could see the Northern lights from my room on the top floor. Hotel is also full of history.

Exceptional

The place is stylish and cozy. The gentleman at the front desk was welcoming on a chilly night, helping us with our luggage and a reservation at the best meal we had in Iceland. Though it was dark when we arrived so we could not wander around much, we enjoyed drinks in the small gathering space. The quaint harbor area makes this a lovely place to stay. 

sweet stay!

Perfect location above the harbour, cozy and special rooms (less those on the last floor for the sloped roof), impeccable breakfast and service, hall and waitress, made by exquisite and very kind staff
