Excellent stay! I was a solo traveler and it was great to stay here. There is an elegant sophistication yet awesome, chill vibe. The breakfast is phenomenal and kept me full through my adventurous days. The main area is inviting and comfortable. The staff are wonderful and always approachable for any need. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it for couples, friends, and families as well.

The Eyja Guldsmeden Hotel was very clean and the staff was wonderful. The only issue I had was that room service did not make the room up daily. Other then that our stay was wonderful.
