This is a great hotel. It is located in a couple of buildings - all historical administrative buildings of the small town. We stayed in the bank building. Rooms are also in old style but very comfy and cozy. We thoroughtly enjoyed our stay, despite the snow storm outside. By the way the way from the main road to the village crosses the top of the mountain. We were driving during a snowstorm and it was a bit scary. Check the weather and the road condition before you go in the winter. But the hotel is very highly recommended.

We had the downstairs unit and it was great: bedroom, sitting room, breakfast area, kitchen and bathroom. Plenty of space. At times, the upstairs guests were tad noisy with heavy footsteps, but we always travel with earplugs and it didn't bother us much. Great location.

We decided to leave the Ring Road to stop overnight at Seydisfjordur. After some debate we decided to stay at Hotel Aldan. Options were limited in terms of which of the properties that was available so we ended up at the Old Post Office (Hótel Snæfell). We had a lovely view of the lake from our window. The room itself was tiny and we had no place for any luggage at all (no closet/wardrobe and no floor space). There were two twin beds snug up against the walls and a largish desk under the window. We traveled with another couple and there room was a fair bit larger. The check in instructions sent by e mail noted to park at the grocery and then make your way over to the restaurant where there is a check in area. The hours are limited so plan carefully. There was no mention of when the front desk opened in the morning and no check out information. We ate dinner at the restaurant and were very pleased. Overall, if you are considering this property, I would look at the building options and if you can contact them directly to select a room that meets your needs (not sure if these sorts of requests are accepted ?). Ultimately, we decided taking a bit of extra time to visit Seydisfjordur on our journey was worthwhile.…

We stayed for one night at The Bank. This is a rustic old building with rather basic accommodation - rooms are pretty tight space wise and bed not that comfortable. Being an old building you hear everyone entering and leaving, and traipsing the passages to their rooms. Check in is at a local cafe where you wait in line with cafe patrons ordering their coffees and cake, then to be told they can't help with accommodation and you wait some more while they summon their 'collegue'. Same at checkout. Suggest you make this a day visit from Egilsstaðir where there are far more and better accommodation and eating options.

Loved this hotel! Clean and spacious family room with sitting corner and the most amazing view over the bay. Excellent double beds. One double bed in a very cute alcove, extra dark for the long daylight nights in Iceland. A very friendly staff makes sure you have everything you need. Small fridge with bottles of water. The combination of modern comforts and picturesque touches of past times create a homely feeling. From here we made some lovely hikes along the coast and enjoyed our meals and the best breakfast in all of Iceland in neighboring Aldan restaurant and sushi bar. A great place to stay for several nights in this cute little town.

We stayed at the Hotel Aldan for one night in the old library. The hotel has multiple properties in town. It sits right on the lake. It had approximately 8-10 rooms. We stayed on the third floor that had a twin bed and a single. It looked right onto the lake. It had 3 windows that had beautiful views of multiple waterfalls. I would recommend this room if staying here. The floors creak a lot, but add to the charm. The walls are thin and we heard multiple alarms going off in the morning. The beds were comfortable. They could use better pillows though. They were a bit flat. The shower was small compared to hotel showers in Iceland, but mimic Europe. Overall the stay was good. The best part was the view.

An overnight stay in a family room. We stayed at Hótel Snæfell, where we got the nicest room / apartment with a view of the water. Private entrance and parking right in front of the hotel. The apartment was very large with living room, bedroom and the finest alcove where the kids slept. No doors between the rooms. Coffee and tea in the room. Short walk over to the reception where breakfast was also served. The breakfast was super delicious. Very friendly receptionist. We would definitely recommend Hótel Aldan and the cozy town of Seyðisfjörður, which is tucked away by the fjord.

most comfortable beds in our week in Iceland so far - well worth the drive, lovely, charming town, everyone should go! They did a beautiful breakfast, we had dinner at a restaurant just across from the building shown and it was delicious. Everything is perfect in this sweet town.

This was our fourth overnight stop along Ring Road and we stayed in the property designated as the Old Bank. The town is quaint and offers scenic views from all angles, and the hotel is no exception. That being said, it’s only drawback can be associated to the charm which draws it’s initial interest in the first place. It’s historical appeal affects it’s functionality in that there is limited soundproofing, so you’re left to your neighbours mercy in regards to noise throughout the night, whether it be from above or adjacent rooms. It’s equipped more like a quintessential bed and breakfast as opposed to a traditional hotel, but anyone who’s done a bit of research would be well aware of these shortcomings prior to arrival anyways. The breakfast was delicious, the beds were comfortable, and the town itself was a delight. Also to be noted, but not that it made any difference to us, the rooms were not equipped with TV’s.…
