Absolutely loved this property. The artwork in the lobby alone was captivating in how it used historical elements from previous versions of the hotel to tell the story of the hotel. Great cocktails and a lovely breakfast buffet all situated in a great location. If you are here, you are probably doing the Ring Road, only a short drive from the thermal areas of Myvatan and walking distance to both the lake and some off the beaten path thermal caves you can enjoy.

The hotel itself was nice, good room and spa, the restaurant had good food. But the smell was HORRIBLE. Beware it smells very strong of sulphur outside the hotel and in the water. As soon as you turn on the sink or the shower, you get smacked with a horrible stench. And there was a loud screeching noise all night that was annoying. Other than that, the actual room is decent and the hotel staff was very nice.

Lake Hotel Gistihusid Egilsstadir - Great location
Beautiful location for our stay at Lake Hotel Gistihusid Egilsstadir as we drove the Ring Road. Helpful and friendly staff, comfortable beds, easy parking and clean room. The hotel has a sign up sheet to request notification if the Northern Lights are out. We signed up and they actually did call us. It was a great night to view the Northern Lights! We enjoyed the dinner and breakfast from their hotel restaurant. I recommend making dinner reservations.

Staff was incredibly friendly, but it's near a farm. Rooms were exactly what I hoped for, and the laundry room was a welcome plus. Great place to stay if you're traveling through. Used this as a central point for three areas in the northern Fjords before traveling on.

The check in was easy, and the room was clean. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Iceland. However, the property is on a farm and smells of cow manure, and the sulfur smell of the water coming out of the faucets was overpowering.

The room was fine, the dining excellent, but the reception upon arrival seemed a bit impatient. All was compensated by the dining staff and the reception the next morning. The best was the proximity to the lake, and being able to wander down to the shore.

This hotel was lovely, incredibly clean and comfortable. Myself and my partner got caught out in heavy rain before arriving for check in, so it was fantastic to see a huge radiator within enough room for both of our wet clothes to dry. The bathroom was spotlessly clean, with a very large walk in shower/wet room. We didn't end up using any of the facilities as we were only there for one night, but would definitely recommend this hotel due to it's comfortability.

The restaurant is outstanding. We had dinner there and in the morning the free breakfast was enjoyable with many options. Our room was comfortable. Wi Fi was fast. Two minor complaints, the room was quite dark. The desk lamp did not work and the two overhead lights did not provide much light. The other complaint was the shower head would not stay in its holder. The holder was loose and the weight of the shower head would spin it around causing the shower head to fall out. We only stayed for one night, so we didn't raise these issues with management.
