Our take

Helgafell sits 6 km from Stykkishólmur, far enough out for quiet nights and mountain views from private balconies, some rooms also looking over the lake. Rooms are simple, with a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, and a 9.4 rating from 497 guests shows how well that formula works. I would choose it for couples and families who explore by car; anyone wanting to walk to town restaurants should stay in Stykkishólmur itself.

  • ✓Take advantage of the balconies; they offer superb mountain and sometimes lake views.
  • ✓Plan for hiking activities directly from the property, as the surroundings are ideal for it.
  • ✓Consider renting a car to easily access Stykkishólmur and other local attractions.
