Location, stay experience, amenities, just about everything was perfect.

The Hotel Studligil is a gem. You might miss it if you’re driving by, as they’re still waiting for their new sign. It changed hands recently, and the manager explained that the focus has been to make the inside comfortable before focusing on the outside. This former school’s rooms are spotless with new baths and plenty of room for luggage. There is no mini-fridge or kettle, but there is a large dining room serving dinner and breakfast. The best part is the food, and everything we had was hand crafted by the manager, her son, and her daughter. Actually, the best part was the manager herself. So sweet and helpful! And she actually went to school here when she was a kid. We had planned to save our pennies and eat out of the cooler, but my partner decided to get a bite from the restaurant just before they closed at 9pm. It’s a limited menu because everything is freshly homemade. The curry soup, homemade burger creation, and savory bread were so wonderful that we opted to order breakfast while having dinner. In my somewhat limited experience with artfully created food, the food and sauces run out before the stomach is full. Not so here. There was extra of everything from the homemade blueberry sauce for the burger (I know, but trust me it’s amazing) to the herb butter for the homemade bread. This non-pretentious, no-frills hotel has common areas to socialize and meet fellow travelers, and the staff is thoughtful and kind. Even if you don’t stay here, I recommend you stop in for a meal. (We enjoyed meeting the manager so much we wanted to remember her with a photo; she's in the middle; the food photos are before and after dinner.)

The staff working there are really enthusiastic about what they do, you will be greeted with a smile and a hearty hello. They will assist you with whatever it is you need, conversation, directions and suggestions about your travels. It is already a good hotel, I can only imagine what they will improve with the current plans that they are drawing up.

everything, Attention to detail, Interior of accommodation is modern and immaculate. Friendly staff & easy checkin, Comfy beds, quiet location. Highly recommended

Our tiny house was super cozy. Isabelle, the host was very kind. She was a life saver because our car brpke in the middle of the road and she waited until late night to check us in. Also, the next day she kindly offered and gave us a ride to the nearest city where we could rent a new car.

Very comfortable, warm and clean room with well equipped kitchen and good bathroom Nice interior: authentic, cosy, vintage Very nice, hospitable and communicative host Beautiful location with view on the river, close to Egilsstadir

Wonderful stay and wonderful host! Very cozy and large house, so we were able to rest a lot after some longer hikes. Ultimately great host, who told us a lot instightful info about the eastern part of Iceland as well as he mentioned a set of hidden gems. It is a must stay if you travel through north-east/east part of the island. It is also a great place in terms of close location to different attractions (Stuðlagil canyon, Hengifoss). Highly recommended!

Amazing place. Great location. Beautiful surroundings. Staff very nice and willing to help.

The authenticity of the house, a very good museum of life in the valley and around. The super diner with lamb or plokkfiskur. The silence and the friendliness of the people who works there. Very good breakfast. Also, if you take the diner our breakfast you are sitting together on 1 big table.
