Hotel 3 Bintang di Múlaþing

This was our favorite overnight stay in Iceland. It has the feel of a tiny village, about 4 miles down a dirt road from the main highway. It is a quaint and charming, setting, with a nice restaurant, hotel, outdoor seating areas, and scenic views of the nearby volcano. Our dinner in the restaurant was excellent. We stayed in the hotel, which is a separate building just a short walk away. Our rooms were very nice and comfortable. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. We only wish we could have stayed longer than one night.

The building is made of paper. You can hear everything from the rooms on either side and above. The noise level feels like people are literally in the room with you. I could hear the people in other rooms talking clearly - fully audible conversations at regular volume. I could hear the other rooms using the bathroom - every last drop. The bathroom was exceptionally audible. The ventilation system is the main culprit of noise issues. Nothing is private through that ventilation system - absolutely nothing. We got no sleep at all over the course of two nights. I'm not sure what's happening with the staff. You can't call yourself a hotel and then only open the ”reception” between 15:00 - 21:00. That's not a reception. That's just someone sitting and checking people in for a few hours. We arrived at 14:50 and the door was locked. I knocked, he saw me and turned his back and ignored me. At 15:00 he came to unlock the door and saw that we were sitting outside waiting. He then said, ”hi - are you waiting for something”? He saw me at the door. He knows exactly what I was there for. We later went over to ask for an extra towel and he said he couldn't bring it to us because he was the only one there. Again - not a hotel if the one and only staff member can't leave his post to get a towel! People were smoking outside our unit, partying in the space in front of our room until 02:00 - but there wasn't anyone we could call to complain to. There are no phones in the rooms. How this company owns 4 hotel buildings in this small town and is still standing, is beyond me. How it has the rating it has on these sites is again - completely beyond me. I would never recommend any of their buildings to anyone and would never stay here again if I came back to the area.

Cabin No. 2, 701 Eiðar, near Egilsstadir. 12 miles and 20 minutes by car north of Egilsstadir. It is one of five cabins, modern but not brand new; soundproofing is minimal and that was annoying as other guests were inconsiderate and kept slamming doors. As I write this there is a baby crying in a nearby cabin. The cabins have a beautiful outlook to the back so I cleaned the windows on the outside. The window in the front door is frosted so no view at all. The kitchen is minimalist, only the basics are provided. Whilst the floor covering is made of plastic, it’s actually a fairly realistic version of oak so looks good. The owner was helpful when I phoned with a query; the cleaner was also considerate and was very helpful when I spoke with her. There isn’t a TV in the room – you have to create your own entertainment.

This accommodation belongs to Hotel Aldan. We had the apartment in the ground floor of Gamli Skólinn. There was a huge wow as we opened the door. What a marvelous place! Our second sentence was, ”we're going to STAY here”, like... not going to leave, at all :) The lobby staff is really nice. All possible amenities in the kitchen. Washing machine and dryer, and such gorgeous environment in Seyðisfjörður. This is a Top 10. Huge thumbs up!

Standard icelandic hotel whereby no toiletries provided. Good location easy to find. Nearby has petrol & groceries for top up of necessities. Reception is professional but not friendly and warm.

Very enjoyable stay! The host was very accomodating and the hostel was perfectly located in the small town. There was free laundry available and a coffeemachine which was also included. The room was spacious and had its own bathroom. Everything (kitchen, room, bathroom) was clean and friendly. Would definitly recommend.

I had an impromptu stay in Seyðisfjörður after the first snow of the season had made Route 93 back to Egilsstaðir through the mountains impassable for the night with my vehicle. I stopped my Media Luna in search of available rooms for the night, and the staff was very kind and accommodating. He explained the usual plowing schedule for the town, and showed me around the guesthouse. Easy to get around with a common fridge | kitchen area, and all the rooms accessible through one central hallway. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were, being very clean and spacious with a nice and modern private bathroom. Great color scheme with browns and forest greens as well. I'm very appreciative for the accommodation, which made an unexpected hiccup into a nice detour during my Ring Road trip! I will certainly be staying here again if I visit Iceland again and am looking for somewhere to stay in Seyðisfjörður. Takk!

So we had a bit of an adventure checking in. The white board of who was staying where and when was out of date. Both check in locations were closed (late afternoon). The house was quiet and the restaurant not yet open for the season.. Turns out it is really very easy. Just look up the name of your cottage in your reservation and walk in the door! Keys were inside. Yes a very trusting place. We had a good laugh at ourselves. The cottages are small but have everything you need. We sat on the porch and looked at reindeer and at least 12 waterfalls. Hard to beat. I would suggest that instructions on how to use the 2 burner stove (hotplate) would be helpful. If we had not used one before we would have had trouble as it is not straight forward. It is a good place to bring your food and relax and enjoy. Would stay here again.
