Featuring a restaurant and cafe on site, Blabjorg Resort is in the fishing village of Borgarfjordur Eystri, 71 km from Egilsstadir. This property offers sea-view rooms with access to a fully equipped shared kitchen. WiFi and on-site parking are free. I reserved gesthouse rooms with shared bathroom (because no other room left) and I had my doubts. But the reality exceeded my expectations. Small but cozy room, comfortable bad, linens, towels like in 5* hotel, bath rooms are like 5*hotel too. In addition, you have a shared kitchen. Instead, we tryed the hotel restaurant and enjoyed it very much. The spa is superb!!! Don't miss it! We had a discount for spa about 17%. Sea view was wonderful, like TV with wild sea life podcast just outside your windows. Lots of seabirds! Puffings lookout just 5 min drive away.

The interior is very nicely decorated and is quite comfortable, a nice change of pace after a week of staying in our camper van. Bathrooms are spacious, showers were great. We found our room to be quite comfortable as well. Bed mattresses lean towards firm, good amount of space for luggage and hanging jackets and a few clothing items. Small work desk with chair, bedside tables, plenty of electric outlets and windows to let light into the room.
