Experience the raw beauty and tranquility of East Iceland from the comfort of Egilsstaðir. Ideally situated as a hub for the region's best adventures, our hotel serves as your home base for exploring everything from the vast highlands to the majestic fjords.

The Stay in Egilsstadir

Located in the heart of Egilsstaðir, Berjaya Hérað Hotel offers a warm, quiet sanctuary after a long day of exploring the fjords. We invite you to enjoy a comfortable stay with a distinct neighborhood feel. We focus on simple comforts: cozy, naturally lit spaces and a quiet atmosphere to ensure a restful night. Whether you are passing through or staying for the week, our rooms provide the perfect retreat to recharge before your next adventure.

 

The East Iceland Experience

We pride ourselves on friendly service and local expertise. East Iceland is unique—it is the only region in the country where wild reindeer roam free. Our location serves as the perfect starting point for your adventures.

In the winter months, you may spot these majestic herds grazing near the town's edge in the twilight. For a guaranteed encounter, the local East Iceland Reindeer Park (just minutes away in Fellabær) offers a soulful opportunity to meet these gentle giants up close. Whether you are tracking herds on a Super Jeep tour, hiking through the Hallormsstaðaskógur forest, or fishing in glacial rivers, our doors remain open to welcome you back.

 

Complete your stay with a visit to Lyng Restaurant, located right here at the hotel. We offer an array of beautiful flavors with a varied menu of simple, delicious dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients. Whether you are sitting down for a relaxed dinner or grabbing one of our signature skyr bowls for the road, there is something to satisfy every appetite. You can also unwind at the Lyng Bar, perfect for small bites and drinks during our daily Happy Hour.
