Nice and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay Very nice, great restaurant

Pleasurable experience and stay The hotel had an updated rustic appearance inside and out. A Nordic touch that was well presented made it personable and functional. Rooms were clean, service was well in line with expectations, and noise level was as quiet as could be. Although the first steps out of the vehicle presented us with a slight bit of a dairy farm smell, the oder did not affect the core of the hotel. Yes there are cows several yards away. The town is walking distance from the hotel and has a grocery store, hardware store, and restaurants. We made the mistake of visiting the town to eat when we should have ate at the restaurant at the hotel.

This was a nice hotel with an excellent restaurant for dinner and the best continental breakfast of our whole trip. We only stayed one night and did not use the spa, which you have to pay extra for, but it is there for those who wish to do so. Close to town and great views of the lake. Seems like they are working to landscape the property as well.

Hotel restaurant--top notch. What an innovative chef! Meals were unique and now legendary. Tale of 2 rooms. Single room: top floor; so, so hot. Iceland will someday come around to placing individual AC units in *the* rooms that get the 23.5 hours of sunlight and heat. Curtains block out light but turn the room into an inferno. SUCH a nice place, but I doubt I'm the only traveler whose room was an oven in summer. The fan was nice, but not helpful. Deluxe Room: ground floor, shaded with trees, completely lovely, super comfortable in amenities AND temperature. Again, the hotel knows which few rooms are NOT this way. What a lovely place. I hate that our second room was miserable as it gave two totally polarizing opinions of this hotel. Plan with care.

Excellent hotel . Breakfast was wonderful..

The hotel was the perfect stay for us during our trip along the Ring Road. Accommodations were super clean, the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was superb, and the staff were excellent. Would definitely stay here again if we ventured to the area on a future vacation!

This was a great hotel. Great breakfast, clean and large rooms, heated tile floors in the bathrooms, ultra hot showers, helpful staff. Will be staying here again.

Clean room and an excellent breakfast included! The restaurant is also great and convenient.

Lovely hotel and breakfast .

great location

Great stay! The room was spacious and the spa was wonderful after a full day of hiking. Breakfast was really good and the staff was all so friendly.

Their restaurant is world class. A wonderful surprise.

This is possibly the best hotel in Iceland. Staff were very friendly, the room was lovely, and the food was out of this world. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Tidy and clean hotel. Staff very nice and helpful. Breakfast very good!

Great hotel with nice sauna and wonderful restaurant.

Great history in this hotel. Roads were closed to original hotel and this hotel didn’t do anything less than be impressive! Excellent tasting menu! Views, and excellent staff rooms and spa! Thank you !

It was a beautiful place to stay with a lovely view, great helpful staff and clean

We had a wonderfull time, Raphael and the restaurant team were amazing. Oh, but. Raphael… hes is so charming. He is a keeper.

We had the most charming stay a the Lake Hotel Gistihusid in Eglisstadir. The room triple room felt like a full on apartment- it was spacious, modern, and cozy. We enjoyed access to the onsite Spa. The staff was responsive and friendly to all of our requests. Breakfast was a highlight- many options, with a lot of Icelandic influence. We dined at the restaurant for two evenings. We found the food delicious and very good value in comparison to other restaurant hotels we ate at in Iceland. Overall this was our best value stay in all of Iceland. We will definitely return to this hotel on our next tour of East Iceland.
