Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Egilsstadir
Travelers looking to reach Egilsstadir have one primary choice located within the city itself: Egilsstadir Airport (EGS). This airport serves as the local hub and is the most convenient point of arrival for both domestic and regional flights. All other airports are situated in neighboring cities and serve primarily as regional gateways for their own local areas. Vopnafjordur Airport (VPN) sits in the nearby town of Vopnafjordur and serves as a small domestic node; it is best suited for those already exploring the northeastern coast. Hornafjordur Airport (HFN), located in the town of Höfn, acts as a southern access point and is only practical for travelers completing a full tour of the South Coast. Similarly, Thorshofn Airport (THO) is a remote facility in Thorshofn with limited connectivity. Finally, Akureyri International Airport (AEY) functions as the northern international hub, located a significant distance away. Choosing any airport outside of EGS requires careful planning due to limited public transport and long driving times; renting a vehicle is generally the most reliable method for reaching the city from these remote locations.

This hotel is great in every aspect. The location is right in the city center, close to restaurants, supermarkets, and even a gas station. However, the water in the bathroom seemed to have an odor, which should be improved. Also, the breakfast, which is an additional charge, was quite expensive.FromUS$308

Hótel Valaskjálf is really awesome! Located in the center of Egilsstair, the room was clean and comfortable, and the bed was as soft as a cloud. The breakfast was super rich and I was very satisfied every day. The service staff is super kind and feels as warm as going home. Highly recommend people who come to East Iceland to live here!FromUS$215

The guesthouse is ideally located: The Vök Bath, where we enjoyed relaxing in the evenings, is just a few minutes away by car.
The rooms are relatively large, very clean, and the bed, including the pillow and blanket, was exceptionally comfortable – you really sleep well.
I would particularly like to highlight the large communal kitchen. It is modernly equipped and offers several cooktops, so all guests can easily cook at the same time without getting in each other's way.
Everything you need is nearby: A large supermarket and a gas station are only about 700 meters away.
Overall, a very pleasant accommodation with a convenient location and good amenities.FromUS$154

Centrally located close to domestic airport, gas station and supermarket. Hotel appears to be converted from an old building but is nicely maintained with a charming lobby. Room size is bigger than other Iceland hotels. Shower is only separated from toilet by a shower curtain, so bathroom would get a bit wet but not a big issue. Both dinner and breakfast are good. Better reserve for dinner as it gets busy. O sure washing machine is handy, although may need to wait a bit as there is only one machine. Staff are generally helpful. Overall a pleasant stay.FromUS$320

The room is very open, the health is very good, the environment is small but complete!
The only downside is that the sound insulation problem needs to be improved.
But as a homestay, the environment is very good, although there is a distance from the city center, parking and watching the aurora are very convenient!FromUS$206
