3-Star Hotels in Mulathing

This was our favorite overnight stay in Iceland. It has the feel of a tiny village, about 4 miles down a dirt road from the main highway. It is a quaint and charming, setting, with a nice restaurant, hotel, outdoor seating areas, and scenic views of the nearby volcano. Our dinner in the restaurant was excellent. We stayed in the hotel, which is a separate building just a short walk away. Our rooms were very nice and comfortable. Overall, a very enjoyable experience. We only wish we could have stayed longer than one night.

This place is tucked away in the fjord. It's not the Ritz Carlton but do you expect that. This place had a great bed (single) and the shower was powerful and hot, bathroom was clean and enough room for one person to stay overnight. It's right on the fjord you can walk out of the hotel and just stare at the Aurora Borealis. Center of town so it's easy to get to other places.

Cabin No. 2, 701 Eiðar, near Egilsstadir. 12 miles and 20 minutes by car north of Egilsstadir. It is one of five cabins, modern but not brand new; soundproofing is minimal and that was annoying as other guests were inconsiderate and kept slamming doors. As I write this there is a baby crying in a nearby cabin. The cabins have a beautiful outlook to the back so I cleaned the windows on the outside. The window in the front door is frosted so no view at all. The kitchen is minimalist, only the basics are provided. Whilst the floor covering is made of plastic, it’s actually a fairly realistic version of oak so looks good. The owner was helpful when I phoned with a query; the cleaner was also considerate and was very helpful when I spoke with her. There isn’t a TV in the room – you have to create your own entertainment.

This accommodation belongs to Hotel Aldan. We had the apartment in the ground floor of Gamli Skólinn. There was a huge wow as we opened the door. What a marvelous place! Our second sentence was, ”we're going to STAY here”, like... not going to leave, at all :) The lobby staff is really nice. All possible amenities in the kitchen. Washing machine and dryer, and such gorgeous environment in Seyðisfjörður. This is a Top 10. Huge thumbs up!

Standard icelandic hotel whereby no toiletries provided. Good location easy to find. Nearby has petrol & groceries for top up of necessities. Reception is professional but not friendly and warm.

The hotel facilities are complete. It is beyond imagination that the public bathroom is very clean and has no odor. There is only one washing/drying machine. It takes a while for a lot of people. (I waited for almost 2 hours because some people were unconscious. The clothes are left for a long time before they are taken away, which is a waste of my sleep time.) The room is super small. It is really recommended to divide the room for more than 4 people. It is really narrow enough that even the suitcase can not be opened for a long time, but basically it can be

I had an impromptu stay in Seyðisfjörður after the first snow of the season had made Route 93 back to Egilsstaðir through the mountains impassable for the night with my vehicle. I stopped my Media Luna in search of available rooms for the night, and the staff was very kind and accommodating. He explained the usual plowing schedule for the town, and showed me around the guesthouse. Easy to get around with a common fridge | kitchen area, and all the rooms accessible through one central hallway. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were, being very clean and spacious with a nice and modern private bathroom. Great color scheme with browns and forest greens as well. I'm very appreciative for the accommodation, which made an unexpected hiccup into a nice detour during my Ring Road trip! I will certainly be staying here again if I visit Iceland again and am looking for somewhere to stay in Seyðisfjörður. Takk!

Hotel Hallormsstadur is located in the Hallormsstadur National Forest that is one of Iceland biggest forests (they don’t have so many of them). The area is of course very quiet. Our room was well equipped and very comfortable. Their buffet dinner, albeit a bit pricey, is excellent with an offering for all tastes. Breakfast buffet was also excellent, the best we had in our six nights stay in Iceland. No idea about the pricing as it was part of the package from our travel agency.

So we had a bit of an adventure checking in. The white board of who was staying where and when was out of date. Both check in locations were closed (late afternoon). The house was quiet and the restaurant not yet open for the season.. Turns out it is really very easy. Just look up the name of your cottage in your reservation and walk in the door! Keys were inside. Yes a very trusting place. We had a good laugh at ourselves. The cottages are small but have everything you need. We sat on the porch and looked at reindeer and at least 12 waterfalls. Hard to beat. I would suggest that instructions on how to use the 2 burner stove (hotplate) would be helpful. If we had not used one before we would have had trouble as it is not straight forward. It is a good place to bring your food and relax and enjoy. Would stay here again.
