Hostels in Egilsstadir

Really comfortable beds and great staff

Staying in this place was a very unique and interesting experience as it was a former old hospital. Building is very spacious and looks both cozy and exotic with a lot of old photos and pieces of furniture. Kitchen is big and nicely equipped for different kinds of cooking. Also there is a huge modern coffee machine where you can brew any kind of coffee for a tiny fee (there is a jar for money, so be honest please!). Nice surprise is that there is free sauna together with shared showers. Rooms are comfy and nice, with some hospital vibes. Staff is very helpful. They are present in the hostel only twice per day in the morning and in the evening, but if something urgent happens you can call them and somebody arrives for help really quickly. Great place to stay in this tiny fjord town :)

Host was very kind and the kitchen was superb .

This is a place I will remember for the rest of my life. I came back home and cannot stop thinking about it. I’ve already recommended it to many of my friends and am honestly dreaming of going there again for a longer stay. The place is truly special — the location, the proximity to nature, the respect and care for the environment, and the memorial and history of the owners and the site. The hospitality and communication were wonderful; I felt truly welcomed and cared for. If you want to experience the REAL Iceland and spend time far away from crowded tourist spots, in a peaceful and unique house from the 1930s, surrounded by animals and mesmerizing landscapes, this is the place for you. You should keep in mind that there is a gravel road in good condition leading to the location, 20 km long, and you’ll be greeted by horses and even a reindeer! You’ll need to bring everything you need with you, as there are no shops nearby. But this is exactly what makes the place so spectacular. All this information is clearly stated when you read about the place, so there were no surprises for us. I truly hope to visit again someday.
