Featuring a restaurant and cafe on site, Blabjorg Resort is in the fishing village of Borgarfjordur Eystri, 71 km from Egilsstadir. This property offers sea-view rooms with access to a fully equipped shared kitchen. WiFi and on-site parking are free. We arrived when the kitchen was closed, but they brought us tomato soup and fish stew (both dishes were delicious). Breakfast was nice. The place where we went to see the puffins in the morning is 6-7 minutes away by car

Lindarhóll Guesthouse

Stóri-Bakki

Situated in Stóri-Bakki in the East Iceland region, Lindarhóll Guesthouse features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. This guest house provides a shared lounge.

All units in the guest house are fitted with a TV. There is also a well-fitted kitchen in some of the units equipped with an oven, a fridge, and a stovetop. At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels. Very nice clean rooms. Unlike many other hotels hosted in a house, this really felt like it was designed with the idea of a real hotel in mind. The rooms were nice decorated. Even rooms without a separate bathroom had their own sinks which helped A LOT.

Mjóanes accommodation

Hallormsstaður

A good location for a hassle-free holiday in Hallormsstaður, Mjóanes accommodation is a guest house surrounded by views of the lake. The property features a garden, barbecue facilities and parking on-site among other facilities. Boasting free shuttle service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The guest house features mountain views, a children's playground, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. Everything tbh - we were too tired after a hike to Studlagil. When we entered the property, met Elsa and checked in, I think the energy returned. The hot tub & sauna was a gift to my tired legs. Kitchen to room, everything was designed thoughtfully from a barn to a homestay and well equipped. Jfyi, the shower is common - but very big, spacious and clean. Hence it would not be an issue. If weather is nice and you are lucky, you may get to see some auroras too like us 😊

Við Lónið Guesthouse

Seyðisfjörður

Set in a characteristic wooden house, Við Lónið Guesthouse is an accommodation in Seyðisfjörður. Rooms feature Scandinavian minimalist design, original wood furnishings and uninterrupted views of the fjord and town. Clean, comfortable room with a beautiful and unique view of the fjord! The room was very cosy. We stayed here 3 days due to bad weather which prevented us from leaving (our booking was for one night only) and Maggy was lovely with us!!! Every day she came by to ask if we needed anything and provided us with coffee and chocolate. She kept us updated on the road situation and gave us advice on where to eat and what to do. I highly recommend everyone to stay are here!!! Thanks again Maggy!!!
