Hotel Egilsen

About

Hotel Egilsen sits proudly on Aðalgata 2, in the historic harbour town of Stykkishólmur, Iceland. The building, originally erected in 1867 and converted into a boutique hotel in 2012, retains its charming red façade and 15‑year‑old timber beams while showcasing a modern, nautical‑inspired interior. Each of the ten rooms features the signature COCO‑MAT beds made from natural materials, giving guests a comfortable, beach‑side sleep experience. A cosy lounge with a curated library of Nordic folk tales and maritime fiction invites guests to relax, sip free beverages, and mingle with fellow travellers. The hotel’s location is a stone’s throw from Stykkishólmur’s picturesque harbour, where visitors can explore local museums, galleries and even take a boat tour around the dramatic Breiðafjörður islands. The surrounding Snæfellsnes Peninsula offers mountains, glaciers, and pristine beaches, making the hotel a gateway for outdoor adventures. For those planning a stay, bookings can be made online through the hotel’s official shop – the storefront platform lists nightly rates and special winter packages. Direct customer support is available via phone +354 554 7700 or by email booking@egilsen.is. The hotel offers a free Wi‑Fi, complimentary breakfast, and scenic views of the harbour, making it an ideal romantic getaway or a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Reykjavik.
