This place is tucked away in the fjord. It's not the Ritz Carlton but do you expect that. This place had a great bed (single) and the shower was powerful and hot, bathroom was clean and enough room for one person to stay overnight. It's right on the fjord you can walk out of the hotel and just stare at the Aurora Borealis. Center of town so it's easy to get to other places.
Guide: From the ring road you will drive from Egilsstaðir to the east and follow the road number 93 (Seyðisfjarðarvegur) about 30 km. A beautiful pass road is going along. Fronts of serpentines are turning up - and downwards on the other side. There are many beautiful views along the path. A few kilometres before Seyðisfjörður you can already look far in the fjord from above. The street is well developed - not a comparison to the streets in the neighbouring fjords. (The street 953 in the Mjóifjörður or the road number 94 to Hafnarólmi, I have felt partly as ”Hellrid”, because it is a steep, only squatted roads or a permanent construction site. ) However, the journey over the passport and down to the Fjord is a rather ”gondolei”. You must like or not. In summer it was possible to drive well. But in winter I'll imagine the route a little adventureful. The Lónsleira Apartments are easily found in Seyðisfjörður. Just right along the Austurvegur. At the end of the lake, the apartments are already recognized by the characteristic yellow and blue color. The car can be stopped right before the entrance to the apartments. ************* Entry/Check-in: We arrived on a Sunday evening and I have to say that I was just lost something. To date, we had the number at our accommodations beforehand either the key box by mail or a phone number we should contact at arrival. Or there was a kind of reception where we could get the key. Here we had no information, How we came to the keys and were something unconcerned. Fortunately, then I found the ”neighbors” in front of the house and asked how the check-in is going. You pointed me to a telephone number, I called and then got the PIN of the key cash. I also received a strange check-out, because there were no specifications here too. In many reviews I had read that the renter had passed over the stay. Okay, I wouldn't have had to do that. But since the booking was made over booking.com but the payment should have been made on the site, I already found it a little irritating that we were not contacted at all. Finally, we just put the key back to the safe when we leave. The cost of stay was cancelled from the credit card - although the credit card information was actually intended to be deposited for security only. Well, no matter. It wasn't bad. Maybe something went wrong - but I didn't find this kind optimal. I would have preferred a mail with the safe number or specific information. ************ Location, environment and shopping opportunities: The apartments
It belongs to a family hotel. When it arrives, the boss puts the key at the door and takes it by name. The door is the famous Rainbow Road, and there is a restaurant next to it, which is very convenient. We chased the aurora here. The staff at the restaurant next to us suggested that we drive out a little bit, and it is easy to see without lights. We drove out for five minutes and stopped on the side of the road. We took a picture in a while. It was not a busy trip.

This accommodation belongs to Hotel Aldan. We had the apartment in the ground floor of Gamli Skólinn. There was a huge wow as we opened the door. What a marvelous place! Our second sentence was, ”we're going to STAY here”, like... not going to leave, at all :) The lobby staff is really nice. All possible amenities in the kitchen. Washing machine and dryer, and such gorgeous environment in Seyðisfjörður. This is a Top 10. Huge thumbs up!
I had an impromptu stay in Seyðisfjörður after the first snow of the season had made Route 93 back to Egilsstaðir through the mountains impassable for the night with my vehicle. I stopped my Media Luna in search of available rooms for the night, and the staff was very kind and accommodating. He explained the usual plowing schedule for the town, and showed me around the guesthouse. Easy to get around with a common fridge | kitchen area, and all the rooms accessible through one central hallway. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the rooms were, being very clean and spacious with a nice and modern private bathroom. Great color scheme with browns and forest greens as well. I'm very appreciative for the accommodation, which made an unexpected hiccup into a nice detour during my Ring Road trip! I will certainly be staying here again if I visit Iceland again and am looking for somewhere to stay in Seyðisfjörður. Takk!
The hotel facilities are complete. It is beyond imagination that the public bathroom is very clean and has no odor. There is only one washing/drying machine. It takes a while for a lot of people. (I waited for almost 2 hours because some people were unconscious. The clothes are left for a long time before they are taken away, which is a waste of my sleep time.) The room is super small. It is really recommended to divide the room for more than 4 people. It is really narrow enough that even the suitcase can not be opened for a long time, but basically it can be
