Just outside the small town of Egilsstadir, surrounded by quiet woodland and open sky, Hotel Eyvindara is a family-run escape with a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere.
Accommodation is spread across bright, modern rooms in two main buildings, plus a collection of cosy cottages dotted around the grounds. Standard rooms are spacious, with private bathrooms and everything you need for a comfortable night’s rest. Annexe rooms come with a private terrace, great for sitting out in the crisp evening air and keeping an eye out for the Northern Lights.
If you’d like more independence, the cottages offer privacy and charm, each with its own bathroom, porch, and in some cases a small kitchenette. All stays include made-up beds, towels, free Wi-Fi, and parking.
The hotel makes an excellent base for exploring the region, whether you’re driving the fjords, circling Lake Lagarfljot, or heading out on local hikes. And when you return, you can relax on your terrace, breathe in the clean Icelandic air, and enjoy the stillness that’s hard to find anywhere else.
