About this stay

Stöð-INN sits on Fjarðarbraut, the same stretch of Route 1 that carries traffic through the rest of Stöðvarfjörður, about 74 kilometres by road from Egilsstaðir Airport. The building was repaired by locals after earlier damage and reopened as a shared project: a guesthouse, a coffee house and a small village shop under one roof, run day to day by Kimi and Eva. Ground-floor rooms keep things simple, each with a private bathroom and shower rather than a shared corridor setup, and private check-in means a late arrival off the Ring Road doesn't depend on catching a front desk open. Breakfast isn't automatically included, but the coffee house sells sourdough breakfast boxes through its own Brauðdagar bread project, a cheaper option than a fixed hotel breakfast for guests moving on early the next morning.

  • Ground-floor private-bathroom rooms
  • On-site coffee house and minimarket
  • Private check-in and check-out
  • Shared lounge and TV area

Our take

This suits a solo traveller or couple treating Stöðvarfjörður as a one-night Ring Road stop rather than families needing extra space or pet owners, since the guesthouse doesn't accept animals. The on-site coffee house and minimarket cover basic needs without leaving the building, and the private check-in helps with a late arrival. Anyone wanting a sea view or a kitchenette for a full dinner should look at Tiny Church further down Fjarðarbraut instead, since Stöð-INN keeps its rooms simple and budget-priced rather than adding those extras.

  • ✓Order a sourdough breakfast box from the coffee house the night before if you're leaving early, it won't be ready otherwise.
  • ✓Use the private check-in if arriving late off Route 1, you won't need to time your arrival around a front desk.
  • ✓Pick a different property if you're travelling with a pet, Stöð-INN doesn't accept animals under any circumstances.

Why we love it

  • A coffee house and minimarket under the same roof
  • Ground-floor rooms with a private bathroom and shower
  • Private check-in for late Ring Road arrivals
  • Brauðdagar sourdough breakfast boxes made on site
Why guests love it

Guests here quickly lean on the on-site coffee house and minimarket rather than driving out for dinner, since Stöðvarfjörður's other food options are limited to one property down the street. The ground-floor room and its private bathroom keep things simple after a day on Route 1, and private check-in means a late arrival doesn't depend on catching anyone at a desk. A Brauðdagar sourdough breakfast box, ordered the evening before, often replaces a sit-down breakfast entirely.
