Hotels in Eastern Region

Strategic location beside petrol station and bonus supermarket. Able to view aurora during clear weather with wake up call from hotel. Good breakfast. Advisable to book with breakfast as there’s nothing around in the morning.

Room and toilet are spacious. No staff were seen after 11 pm. at the reception desk.

Location is good ,near to shopping area. Room is comfortable. Breakfast not too bad.

Smelly bathroom. Bright room but the decoration is old. The table comes with a broken glass top.

Not far from shops and eateries. Unfortunately it was a Sunday and none of the shops were opened. So not much to do. Next to petrol station. Room is fine. Service is fine.

Hotel Jökul was unfortunately a bit of a disappointment. We arrived late at night in the rain and darkness, which made it a bit difficult to find the reception and there was little indication that there was a hotel there. After a while we saw a sign pointing the way to the reception and that was nice. But when we dragged our luggage up the stairs and into there, we were given a room in another building...

No-frills hotel a short drive from Höfn. Rooms look a bit dated but are functional and will give you a good night's rest. Breakfast is a simple affair with no hot food on the menu. Walls are thin and we could hear our neighbours a bit too well.

Advertised as hotel with free breakfast the announced that our reservation didn't include it and that we would need to buy it at $24 each. We made a reservation on Hotels.com where was not option even on breakfast to be included or not. Somehow hotel decided not to?! There is no elevator, beware you have a heavy luggage! Rooms are ok, spacious, but there are no fridge, no shelves and no room to place...

The family room that we had was very spacious. Due to the location of the hotel it is very quiet. Our beds were comfortable -- just right hardness. We missed a reading light near the bed. Dinner in the hotel restaurant a la carte was excellent. The breakfast buffet was very good.

Clean and well appointed rooms, with bare bones breakfast.

Self-service check-in, you will receive the check-in code in advance, very convenient, very close to the snow mountain, it is a ski hotel

Breakfast was nice.. clean room as well. Enjoyed our stay there.

We had a great stay in this Hotel. We just find the elevator squeaky lol but its all good. The room was spacious. We loved it. Also saw a glimpse of aurora by the lake side!

We loved our one-night stay at Gistihúsið – Lake Hotel Egilsstaðir! After a long day of traveling, the sauna and hot tub were exactly what we needed, super relaxing and a beautiful way to wind down. Breakfast was included and had plenty of vegan options, which was such a pleasant surprise. We also decided to have dinner at the hotel, and I’m so glad we did. They had great vegan choices, and the risotto...

Very good place clean and big parking

So charming and I loved the lake monster. She was a wonderful host. The ambience is like a cozy luxe cabin. The restaurant was so delicious. Good sushi in Iceland with LOCAL wasabi was not on my Arctic bucket list but slay. Very generous/kind reception and wait staff. Breakfast buffet was wonderful. To top it off, the spa was so relaxing! Wonderful sauna, hot tub, and ice bathe for a cheap admission...

We booked this on the fly and were not disappointed. After a bunch of hours driving, we arrived here to find a very sweet hotel on the lake. The view out back said "come on in." The room is clean, spacious, quiet and comfy. We immediately hit the on site spa and sat on the hot tub for a while. We love the staff.

It was alright. Parking was convenient and there were some popular (Instagrammable) restaurants nearby.

Right by the sea, the views are fantastic. The room facilities are a bit dated, but the overall decor is cozy and inviting.

This hotel is located in Höfn, about 500km from Reykjavik Airport. We arrived late at night, but the hotel staff were warm and welcoming. The facilities inside were also satisfactory.

Facilities: Very good, the heating was excellent. No elevator though. Hygiene: Clean, hygienic, and well-maintained. Environment: Great location, right by the sea with ocean views. Service: The front desk manager was very welcoming and thoughtful during check-in, even helping guests with their luggage. However, the housekeeping department was poor. They unauthorizedly opened and discarded items that...

I don't recommend getting breakfast, it's really bad. Everything else is fine.

The room was clean and comfortable, the location was easy to find, and parking was convenient right in front of the lobby entrance. The front desk staff were polite and provided good service.

Excellent stay at Hotel Valaskjálf! The hotel is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with well-appointed rooms that make it easy to relax after a day of sightseeing. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is convenient for exploring the area. A great balance of comfort, value, and Icelandic hospitality. Highly recommended!

The hotel is nice, everything is pretty clean. The staff is friendly. The beds aren't very comfortable, the mattress is soft, and there's almost nothing to eat for breakfast. A refrigerator in the room would be nice.

I can’t understand how can someone say that the room is small and has “many” stairs.. it is literally 15 stairs to the room, which is very spacious as you can see in the picture.

Breakfast was good but only from 07 to 09, st short and not been able to check in befor 16:00 and then have to check out at 10:00, not good. The bar had very poor selection

The hotel is conveniently located near restaurants, supermarkets, and numerous gas stations, making it convenient for self-driving travelers. The front desk staff was helpful, not only helping an elderly person with their luggage but also offering information on the Aurora Borealis sightings at night. The breakfast was varied and delicious.

friendly and helpful staff, arranged a ground floor room immediately when I informed him of my knee injury. good breakfast and original pizza👍🏻

Very nice full service hotel. The concierge was very helpful in giving us advice on the Oxi pass (which was an easy drive in late September). Breakfast was a feast compared to other places. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. Highly recommend!

On the way to the hotel, we were still concerned about the facilities since it’s in the middle of Iceland. However, once we arrived, we felt quite comfortable. The room was spacious, and the view from the canteen during breakfast was especially beautiful!

The hotel was very quiet. There’s an outdoor hot tub that is wonderful. The breakfast buffet had tons of options.

A very nice hotel at Lake Mývatn - the grounds are lovely, the room was comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, and the staff were fantastic and helpful!

I really enjoyed my stay here for one night! It’s in a forest which was a cool location and close to Hengifoss. Check in was easy, breakfast was good and the views were lovely. I recommend!

Nice stay. Beautiful rural setting, very tranquil. Outdoor hot tub was great, breakfast was above average and included in the room price. The place is a bit outside of the city, so be aware it is not convenient for restaurants and quick store stops. Overall great experience, would recommend to anyone.

Good hotel for reasonable price. Breakfast was good. The only thing is that the walls are thin and you could hear everything that happens in the other rooms

Was a cozy hotel in a pleasant location, staff was very warm and welcoming. Only complaint we had was the breakfast, it was very limited and we did not know until afterwards that it would cost us 80$ CAD for two people to have some toast, fruit, and juice. The room itself was fine but the bathroom floor/shower was very sticky and felt dirty. Was a well priced option that suited our needs at the time

The hotel is approximately 7km away from the Route 1. The place is clean and tidy. The hotel style is simple and cosy with a lot of decoration (teapot collection is the most memorable). We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Food is good and overall room is clean and warm.

We booked the chalet for one night. We really loved the brillant service! Everyone was so nice and eager to help. We were the only guests who booked breakfast that morning and received a beautifully set table. The room was clean. The AC was a little loud and there are only 7 minutes of warm water during winter, which was manageable.

My wife and I were traveling the Ring Road, and stayed here for a night in one of the cabins/chalets. Not far off the Ring Road and an absolutely beautiful location. Waking up to gorgeous snow capped mountains was just the thing you need. Our chalet was adorable, equipped with everything you need and was surprisingly spacious. Bathroom was fine, shower water didn't get too warm but it's not an issue...

Nice hotel out in the country. Very quiet and the bed was comfortable. The room came with a private bath, which was really nice. Good food in the restaurant.

Booked it in the last minute and glad we got this property It’s a must visit and I would come back again

This hotel is very suitable for vacation and leisure. It is located in a forest. The front desk drove a golf cart to deliver our luggage to the door of the room. The hotel is a bit far from the center of Egilsstadt. The breakfast is average with few options. The dinner is okay, but the steak is too old. The chef came out to greet us personally and replaced it with cod according to our request.

There's a lake next to it, but the view is average. There's no kettle, so you have to go to the front desk to get water, just like in college, and you have to walk outside to get to the front desk. The bed is small.

There are very few things in the room, no kettle

The view is first-rate, the room is average, the service is good, and the breakfast is terrible

Very clean room and breakfast is good

Just a nice country hotel with beautiful wood panel walls in each room, comfortable bed and a spacious bathroom

Absolutely our favorite stay while in Iceland. This spot is about 10 minute outside of the main Hofn area and very affordable. Our self-check in was very easy and our room was easy to find. Our little double bed cabin was so precious and held perfectly fine against the winter wind and cold. We loved that we could park right outside our cabin rather than lug our luggage through a hotel from a parking...

Our room was great. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Offered a nice breakfast to start our day.

Have travelled the world but this place is truly special. Vasillis took great care of us all evening until the Northern Lights appeared. What an incredible experience. Great hospitality. Clean, comfortable and warm.

Perfect location just outside Hofn. Very nice guesthouses with shared bathrooms. We stayed only for one night but we couldn't have asked for anything better. In line with prices in and around Hofn.

We arrived around 8 and they were very helpful with dining options outside of the hotel but we ended up eating there, which was an amazing choice! The service was excellent, the food was delicious. We spoke with a worker for almost an hour after the restaurant should have closed and got many suggestions on where to go on our trip and lots of information about Iceland. Wonderful stay!

Easy self check in as we were late. We were lucky to sighted aurora during our one night stay there

This guesthouse-style hotel is located on the edge of town. It's generally clean and tidy, and the rooms are spacious. For the price in Iceland, you really can't complain.

Breathtaking Views, Located in Hofn town, clean, comfort and convenient, good restaurants are within walking distance. Breakfast is simple with quality good food, Free flow of drinks all day.

Super clean! All the amenities you’d need and a decent breakfast to fill you up before you hit the road. Great view as well. And prime location if you’re staying in Hofn.

A great stay to go around Hofn and the Diamond beach. It also offers breakfast which is basic things but enough for us. The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the room we had was quite spacious.

We loved the Milk Factory in Höfn, Iceland. So Clean, beautiful view, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Will stay here again.

We stayed at this hotel during our trip around Iceland and found it to be a comfortable and convenient stop while travelling the island. The self-service check-in was straightforward, although the booking information mentioned a latest check-in time of 9pm. We rushed to arrive before then, only to find there was no reception and entry was simple regardless - so it would have been helpful if that was...

We stayed at the hotel for one night. The room was comfy and the staff very helpful, but the location and view were what truly stood out. We even saw northern lights just outside the room, quite an incredible experience!

Small but clean rooms. Private bathroom. Nice full kitchen and tables in basement to cook or store your food. Easy check in. Central location to walk around town.

Rooms are small, but the community kitchen was nice and it was located near local restaurants. The views around this area of the mountains and waterfalls is stunning!!

This property is located in a quiet place. We drove into a parking lot labelled with the name only to discover that registration was half a block back. Other guests helped direct us where to go. The hotel looked liked it needed a coat of paint but inside it was a spacious set of rooms. Good amenities (tea, coffee, small refrigerator, separate sitting room, lots of outlets to charge electronics...

The room is sufficient for laying your head down but is much too tiny without enough room to open luggage. It is clean and has a cute communal kitchen but should be advertised as a rooming house or hostel in my opinion.

Great place to stay on an Iceland roadtrip

The food from the restaurant is good, definitely above the average. The price is also reasonable

Great breakfast but the hotel itself looks really scary in the night. There were no lights at the hallway in the morning and worse in the night

It’s not easy to find a hotel in Iceland, and I feel like you get what you pay for. This one is considered cheap. One thing this place didn't do well was the poor WiFi signal in the room I was in. Because the mobile signal was very poor, we had to rely on WiFi. But in the whole room, only the doorway can be connected. When needed, we had to sit at the door as shown in the photo to access the internet

The hotel was clean and the service was great. We really enjoyed the breakfast as they had a variety of options, including home-made goods. Would definitely recommend!

Parking area is spacious, easy to park. Hotel is located near to tourist spot Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. About 10 mins drive. Hotel buffet breakfast is very good. Alot of handmade cookies and cakes, fresh fruits and local meal. Room is clean and tidy. Recommended to stay here.

The restaurant is delicious, the service is great, and there is a hot spring spa. It has a very strong pastoral feel and is very quiet at night. The room is old

Visited in July. Spent 2 nights. Lovely stay. Basically situated in the middle of nowhere. Just you and the glacier, can you imagine? Would love to come back in winter to have a chat with northern lights. Would stay in Fosshotel again if I were to return. Spacious room. Comfy beds. Toilet and shower were separated. Simple yet delightful breakfast. Given complimentary drinks too during happy hours...

Wow, this is what I can say about this hotel😍 amazing place, a wonderful location in the middle of almost nowhere, beautiful surrounding, I can stay here forever. The room was so nice and simple, the dining area has a very beautiful view, the food was very good, and very nice staff. I would come back and stay in this place if I ever visit Iceland again.

The most beautiful hotel of our entire trip. But above all, I highly recommend trying the wonderful food at this hotel. We had the opportunity to taste lamb and baked cheese with vegetables that are typical of Iceland — absolutely delicious. Later, we found out that the chef at this hotel is a Polish woman who has been cooking there for years. The food was amazing 😍. The breakfasts were very filling...

The reception staff were very helpful and friendly, which made check-in smooth and welcoming. After a long day of driving, it was such a relief to lie down in the extremely comfortable beds, they were just what I needed. The bartender was also very friendly and made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, a great stay!

Room facilities are complete and breakfast is average

Generally I don't really write reviews but this location just showed us what Iceland is all about. We got trapped here due to a snow storm and roads got closed. Omar and Margaret (owners of the hotel) from the start where very friendly and welcoming but during this difficult day they exceeded our expectations. They where patient and helpful to answer all our questions and help us reassure. Thanks to...

It's alover a good stay. Very kind and helpful hosts. Breakfast is very good. Rooms are big, well headed, comfortable and sparkling clean. Also in winter time, in January, they are here, with all you need. Hot tube is open. They are for Islands kindness. We love this land and come back.

Cabin was an aged but comfortable. Bathroom small but private. Hot water was came out extremely hot and had slight sulfur smell, but pretty unique experience to be using thermally heated water for the first time. The staff was helpful but had stretched thin with large tour groups. The dinner was very good and reasonably priced, as was the hotel.

Very welcoming staff. Hot tub wonderful. Breakfast was great and bountiful. Great night of northern lights.

I was 3 times at this hotel this summer and every time there was problem at check in. I wrote email upfront to hotel that rooms need to be prepared for 2 people not for one, they replied that everything will be ready on arrival. When we arrived, receptionist said that he didn't reply to my email but somebody else, so no room was prepared for 2 people and they had to do it on arrival, which my clients...

We stayed here for one night, and asked for an upgrade to a private cottage, which we did get from the lovely and friendly reception staff. This guesthouse is in an amazing location, tucked away in a little forest right outside of town. Our cottage was very cozy — a bit small, especially in the bathroom, but most places in Iceland are this way. The heater whistled quite loudly at first, but worked...

Clean room, easy check in, perfect setup. Would love to return.

Room was clean and comfortable, heated nicely for arrival. Shower was hot and instructions for the cabin easy to understand. We arrived late and then waited to see the northern lights, which we did. A great view from the bedroom side window over the mountains. Definitely would come back here

We were comfy, warm and had what we needed. We saw the Aurora really clearly as there was no light pollution, it was amazing! The cabins are situated in such a beautiful spot with awesome views and horses nearby. This was a very special place in our Iceland adventure!!

Aurora cabins was the most expensive cabin we stayed in during our trip to Iceland and the smallest. It would be fine for a couple but it was too small for our family of four. The views were lovely but it was closer to the road than I was expecting. It was very well equipped and the shower was great but I’m glad we didn’t stay any longer than one night.

We saw the aurora during our one-night stay from our room, it was fantastic! The cabin was also lovely, with a perfect view in the morning.

Aurora cabins lived up to their name! We were able to catch the lights the night we stayed (and it was the only time we were able to during our vacation)! In regard to the lodging itself - we loved how close to ring road the cabin was. It was easily located via google maps and had a seamless self check in with a parking spot waiting for us. The cabin itself was so cute! Clearly modern Icelandic design...

We had a great time here in this town and the staff was very friendly and accommodating!

We stayed at this hotel for one night during our South Iceland road trip. The building is quite new and modern, and the overall atmosphere is minimal and clean. The room was big and the bathroom was updated with a good shower and heated floors, which was nice after a long day of driving.

Easy and convenient stay. Ample parking space available

Worth it!!! Clean accommodations! There is a brewery right across the street!! I had a little difficulty with the keyless pads but they did work. I walked to the airport and to the lighthouse. The mini market had lots of varieties of foods, children’s toys, and even ice cream.

They forgot to send me the key code. We had to wait outside in the car as it was raining. The hotel, the nearby hotel and restaurant have the same owner. The restaurant staff were very friendly.

Thank you, it was great! On a very scenic fjord Breiddalsvik is a good place to plan a stop on a road trip in eastern Iceland and this hotel is the perfect place to stay: ultra friendly and megahelpful people, a comfortable and clean room, good local food: I shall do my best to come back and perhaps stay for a little bit longer!

This Hotel provided us with a fantastic stay. It is clean, the staff are very attentive but not overbearing. Our room was very clean, but there were a couple of small drawbacks. There was a small desk, but no wardrobe for clothes. It would have served better to do away with the desk and provide somewhere to unpack our cases and hang clothes. My wife and I lived out of our suitcases for the duration...

The hotel is in a good location and they got their own diner. One of the staff(the cat) is rude and do not respond to me. However all of other staffs are so nice! The breakfast is good. Attached with the photos of the rude staff.

The room was a bit old and had a hospital-like feel, but the location is fantastic: right by the sea with beautiful views. The staff were extremely helpful, and the restaurant exceeded all expectations.

The rooms are located in separate buildings outside of the reception area, much like a villa-style business hotel. However, there are no elevators, only stairs, so you'll need to carry your luggage yourself.

Friendly and courteous service, well-stocked breakfast, local beer (from Höfn craft brewery), and the staff speaks 4 to 5 languages.

The room is very small. The facility is quite old as well. But the breakfast is good!

What an awesome place this is -- both the hotel and the restaurant. We stayed in one of the apartments - #302 (which is not in the main building -- its a separate building in the harbor). Cozy, warm (we were there in the middle of winter), washer & dryer, good internet connection (>100mbps), fjord and mountain views. It was spotless clean and we were able to get a very early check in. Good communication...

Small room, nice view. The coffee shop near by serves great bakery!

The Aldan restaurant serves as the headquarters for the 3-house hotel. Neat and clean, the restaurant is staffed by beautiful Nordic goddesses who are as friendly and cheerful as they are helpful. Advice: eat early when the ferry is in port. Menu posted below. Looking forward to my next visit in May 2026

I ordered the Grilled Beef Fillet on Yakitori with roasted baby potatoes, beef jus, chanterelle mushrooms, and a cabbage roulade with bacon. Frankly, I wasn’t expecting much from a restaurant located right off a hotel reception area. However, to my surprise, the entire dish was outstanding. The steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare, tender and flavorful. The potatoes had a wonderful crispiness and...

We enjoyed an amazing supper here for our 10th anniversary celebration. The whole town is beautiful, and this restaurant was a highlight of our time here. Nice setting, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food! It is definitely meant for the experience of dining, and it was approximately two hours from entering and to leaving, but it was well worth it. The Grilled Cabbage starter was wonderful and the halibut...

Our group was divided into super nice cottages of this hotel. We, being 4 people, received a very big and nice apartment, fully equipped, we were pleasantly surprised. And the breakfast was good, quite varied. I recommend!

Lovely interior, all wooden and very rustic. The breakfast was very diverse with good coffee, and the dinner was also very tasty! The staff were also extremely friendly and helpful, making us feel very welcome.

Beautiful decorated wood and metal rooms. Good restaurant on site. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very nice and big living room to cheel out at night. The atmosphere in this hotel was the best.

Had a lovely experience here. We arrived late after the front desk closed, but the staff was still very accommodating to check us in. Not just that, when asked if there were any restaurants open nearby (there weren't), they prepared something from the kitchen which was already closed! Rooms were comfortable and lounge was very cute. Highly recommend this place.

The hotel is very clean and cozy. The dinner and breakfast were 5 stars. The staff is so friendly you won’t want to leave.

We stayed at this hotel for one night in April. It really amazed us. The longue room/library had such a cosy wooden interior and there is a sauna, we wish we spent more time here. Friendly staff at the reception. The rooms are clean and spacious. We highly recommend the breakfast, there were so many things to choose from, all delicious, especially the freshly baked bread. The whole town is quiet...

Very cute campsite (not very luxurious, but has warm toilets, no showers), very reasonable price (1000isk per person). The hotel lobby is very beautiful and a nice place to drink coffee. People here are super friendly. All in all an absolutely lovely experience. Hotel is situated right at the coast, which grants a lot of amazing views.

Nice hotel in a nice town with nice food

Beautiful view from our room over the Nordfjordur. The waiter gave good ideas to what to see in the area.

The hotel was clean, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Although this town is quite far from the ring road, it was a pleasant stay. Food was extra expensive but it seems to be a norm in Iceland anyway.

It's a student dorm but in the summer it's a hotel. Therefore the rooms are not super cosy, but it's okay and clean. All rooms have a great view onto the fjord! Breakfast was great! And you can make your own waffles! 😍
