What guests think
At Gistihúsið - Lake Hotel Egilsstadir, travelers highlight spacious, comfortable rooms with lake views, a relaxing spa, and friendly service, alongside an excellent on-site restaurant and generous breakfasts that make this lakeside stop a memorable Ring Road stay.
Several reviews note strong farm or manure odors outdoors and occasional sulfur smell in tap water, and that spa access often carries an extra fee. A few guests mention dated or basic room features, sporadic noise, and isolated service lapses or booking miscommunications. Expect a scenic, restful base with robust on-site amenities and a few practical caveats.

Facilities
Spa with sauna and hot tub is a consistent highlight, though access often costs extra and was under renovation during at least one stay. On-site parking and a northern-lights wake-up list are convenient; laundry is available but was once reported partially out of service.
