Review by hotel critic
Nestled by picturesque Lake Lagarfljót, Gistihúsið - Lake Hotel Egilsstadir served as a serene base for our Icelandic escapades. The cozy rooms exuded modern comfort, complete with wooden floors and a snug seating area for unwinding after long days of exploration. The complimentary full breakfast spread, boasting local delights and international fare, was a delightful start to our mornings. The rural charm of the setting, within easy reach of the East Iceland Heritage Museum and Fardaga Waterfall, offered a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts like us. The attentive staff's recommendations enhanced our experience, ensuring we didn't miss out on the nearby Vök Baths and Seydisfjordur Harbour. A truly rejuvenating stay blending nature's wonders with warm hospitality - a gem reflecting Iceland's tranquil allure.
