Hotel Studlagil Canyon

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent emplacement, très fonctionnel et complet, nous serions bien restés quelques jours de plus. À distance de marche du canyon, mais allez aussi voir de l’autre côté c’est encore plus joli. Petit bonus, la terrasse était parfaite pour voir les aurores, on a eu de la chance"

Guesthouse Svartiskógur Egilsstaðir

8/10 Good

"Stayed here as we were campervanning on the Ring Road as a way to break up the trip. The staff was friendly and helpful, and their morning coffee was surprisingly solid. The hotel itself is nothing to right home about but did the job for what we needed."

Hotel 1001 Nott

10/10 Excellent

"rooms were clean and well appointed and bathrooms were enormous. they had a solid dinner service and great little breakfast in the morning that was part of the package. Place was extremely quiet and a real nice respite from our drive around the ring road."

Lyngás Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Ok-ish but overpriced, shared bathroom and no personnel around to adress anything, one of the toilets had been dirted with feces by some guest and it was disgusting... no early check in possible"

Hótel Valaskjálf

"Clean room, great location, no complaints!"

Hotel Eyvindará

8/10 Good

"This was a nice and simple place to stay for 1 night. We did not get a cottage, but stayed in the hotel section. The rooms were bare, but good enough - clean and everything was working. The manager was really nice. The hot tubs were lovely, but the sauna was not working. The buffet was good and well worth the stay. It is only 5 minutes away from the town."

Hotel Studlagil

"Clean room, close to the canyon, and free breakfast."

Eyjólfsstaðir Guesthouse Egilsstaðir

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for one night as part of our Ring Road trip and it was fine for that. Walls were really thin, guests were quiet but could hear water run every time toilet was flushed. Place had a lot of rooms so lots of people coming in and out and moving around and our room was first floor right by the door. Rooms are scarce in the area so its served its purpose but was one of our least liked places we stayed. Probably bottom one or two places out of our 9 day trip."

Lindarholl Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was the best place we stayed at during our trip! Beautiful room and surroundings. Enjoyed the hot tub too. Bit of a drive to get there but worth it!"
