Our take
Stykkishólmur sits on the north coast of Snæfellsnes facing Breiðafjörður, and Hótel Egilsen turns an 1860s house into a quiet stay for couples: luxury beds, power showers, ocean views and a small library in the lounge. It suits travellers catching the Baldur ferry or taking two nights on the peninsula. Families needing space or on-site dinner should look at larger hotels in town.
Why we love it
- Luxury beds and power showers for ultimate comfort
- Charming 1860s building with historic character
- Rooms offering beautiful Atlantic Ocean views
- Convenient location near the ferry terminal
Why guests love itStykkishólmur is the harbour town on the north side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, where the Baldur ferry leaves across Breiðafjörður, and Hótel Egilsen occupies a house built in the 1860s. Rooms are small but have luxury beds, power showers and views over the Atlantic. Our editorial take for couples: read in the lounge library, eat the organic eggs at breakfast, and walk up Súgandisey island lighthouse before the morning ferry.
