Hotel Egilsen

Quaint and Intimate Harbour-Side House

Sitting by the harbour in the centre of the picturesque coastal town of Stykkishólmur, this pretty, little 1860s house has been lovingly restored to preserve its classic heritage and create a charming boutique hotel.

With just ten rooms, the feel here is friendly with the lounge providing a sociable spot to swap Icelandic stories with fellow guests. The kitchen continues this wholesome theme with homemade, healthy breakfasts prepared from local farmers’ produce.

However, your modern-day luxuries are not forgotten with each room boasting an iPad, power shower and lavish beds that are all too easy to sink into after a day of glacial discovery.
