Overall Ratings & Reviews Lake Hotel Gistihusid Egilsstadir

Really lovely stay at the hotel. Great views, wonderful staff and they went the extra mile to ring us when the north lights were visible. Breakfast was lovely. Great stay.

What a lovely lakeside hotel! A good restaurant and spacious, comfortable rooms. And just a short walk from many town stores and restaurants.

Great location for travelling around the ring road. Nice quiet room overlooking the lake. Breakfast was good too. We did get a sulphur type smell in the shower room but it wasn't bad enough to complain about.

Lake Hotel Gistihusid Egisstadir was night 6 for us on our journey around Iceland’s famous ring road. This hotel was seemed a little out of the way but perfectly placed for our itinerary. There was an on-site restaurant, and many groups stayed for the night. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the guests all seemed very happy. We stayed in a ground-floor room that overlooked the countryside. It was remote and peaceful. We had a lovely evening here.

Nice and kind staff. Food was great

Welcoming and cozy lobby and sitting area. Rooms were cute and comfortable with beautiful view of lake. Dinner at the restaurant was delicious with great service! Breakfast buffet had many choices and very good food! Highly recommend!

the hotel was ok, but the staff was very unfriendly and clearly unhappy working there.

Stately hotel in a beautiful location on the lake. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Don't miss the restaurant on site, the meals were truly the best we had in Iceland!

The person at reception was doing his job, not very welcoming, however in the morning he was in a much better mood, the staff at the restaurant were extremely friendly, helpful and quite funny...

Good location

Staff not as attentive. Good location with view of lake.

This was the most disappointing hotel of our 10 night road trip. The outside smells like cow sh*t when you drive up. The people were nice, but our room was dirty and smelled like sulfur in the morning. Would not recommend.

I had a very clean and comfortable room. The included breakfast was very good.

Amazing stay. Great staff, great facilities, great value for the money. Will be back.

The room is very clean, comfortable and spacious. Staffs are nice too. One thing to mention: the breakfast is awesome, both in quality and flavour

Nice place would stay again.

Wonderful stay! Beds were comfortable, staff was great! Dinner and breakfast was very good! Would highly recommend.

My room smelled like the inside of a barn. The bed wasn't comfortable at all. The shower head needs to be cleaned so the water sprays down instead of all over the place. Breakfast wasn't great. They were out of several items, like eggs 5 minutes after breakfast started. Overall wasn't impressed.

Not much available in this area- so it was fine- no objections- dinner was great both nights- breakfast average!

The hotel is located next to the family farm on the lake. Beautiful grounds and a beautiful, inviting lobby and restaurant. We ate at the onsite restaurant and the food was innovative and delicious. The breakfast buffet the next morning was very varied, plentiful and delicious. The rooms were comfortable but small which is not unusual for Iceland. The bathroom was small as well but manageable. They have free parking which is nice. They also provide wake-up calls for the northern lights and we were fortunate to receive one. Excellent property to take advantage.
