The family running the guest house was so kind and helpful. The two children were delightful. Busy and active but very respectful and inquisitive at the same time. Although not the Ritz Carlton, the guesthouse was clean and comfortable. I would certainly stay again.

The place is not adequately kept and looks terrible. I got many e-mails insisting on paying in cash and pushing me to pay for parking on the property when parking in the street and the area, as the whole country, is highly safe. She insisted so much that we paid even though we did not use it and left the car in another place. They also offered a drive to the airport and the driver was nice and courteous.

4/10 Fair

The family was very nice, it was clean. The stairs to the third floor were narrow and a bit steep. We had luggage for a month and this was our last stop, despite being in late 60s we were strong enough to take it up. There was NO shower on our floor. Well there WAS a shower on our floor, but we weren't allowed to use it.. We had to listen or go down and check when the shower was free on the second floor. Going down the stairs one night carrying my things l was thinking, YIKES l hope l don't fall. The shower area had NO chair, bench or stool for your items! There were hooks on the wall one of which was broken.There was only a toilet and sink on the third floor, the handle on the door to the toilet and sink room was coming apart from the inside.

Eigelsborg should update their photos on Expedia, the quaint dining area looks nothing like the photo. It should be stated up front, that this is a bare-bones backpacker’s facility, you have to rent pillow, blanket & towel.

I did not stay in this hotel. EXPEDIA must not include this hotel in your list...because this hotel is not telling their guests beforehand that NO BLANKET is supplied. I have to rent beddings and pillows and towels...disgusting.

2/10 Poor

Not good value for money. They charged close to £50 for a nights stay in a shared dorm and yet wouldnt provide bedding (pillow and bedsheet) which was an additional rental cost of £30, felt like a rip off. This wasnt mentioned anywhere during booking. Host was responsive and quick though.
Ashwin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Read the small print. Even though we were a family of 6 checking late instead of charging $60 for a late check in they charged us $360 for each person. It is in the rules but crazy - same situation if you actually want an old blanket and pillow. On the positive side it is possible to walk downtown from the location.
Stephen, 2-night trip
Verified

2/10 Poor

The room was dirty. I was emailed a list of curt (verging on disgusting) rules two days before trip when it was too late to cancel. I was changed an extra 6600 on arrival and then staff attempted to recharge on check out. There were hidden charges for towels sheets pillows bedding etc. it was worse than staying in a hostel.

Hostel at Hotel Prices

Expedia needs to review this place. Egilsborg should be listed and priced as a Hostel. Listed as "shared bath": 17 rooms, 50 guests - with THREE (3) Toilets and Two (2) showers. That is not a Guesthouse. We were charged $180 per night for a $50 per night hostel situation.
Verified

2/10 Poor

I have to pay for some hotel tax again that apparently I had pay already in my booking and as well parking for 2 days so extra 8500 ISK roughly £51 for 2 nights. I had been in 8 different guesthouses and none had requested such extra money. No cooking facilities. Some guest looking intoxicated in the comunal area. Feeling no secure space. The name of the guesthouse isn’t the same, its name is Viking, the landlady was very kind is true but isn’t enough for the price. I have sent an email to her about extra person months before and never answered, the extra person paid was another price which was fair for 2 nights but at the end the value isn’t right for what they offer.

Not so nice, but convenient.

If you are looking for basic bed, basic sink and basic service and attitude for one night, this guesthouse will cover it. We stayed in guesthouse around the country, and pretty much everyone was much better than this one. It felt like you were staying in the bathroom of a gas station. Not worth the stay.
