Tehúsið Hostel & Guesthouse has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Egilsstadir. 34 km from Hengifoss and 24 km from Gufufoss, the property provides ski storage space, as well as a bar. The accommodation offers karaoke and a shared kitchen. Location is excellent in the small town of Egilstadir. Nearby the stunning Vok baths. It is a 2 minute walk from the (very small) town centre with restaurant/cafe type of thing as the cheapest option. It is also next to a supermarket. The accom itself has a cafe inside which unfortunately doesn't open until 10am, but the person thankfully made us some coffees around 9am. Rooms were big enough and comfortable beds and pretty good sound proofing. We didn't use the kitchen facilities but bathrooms were also good.

The moment we came in, they gave us a tour of the place and it was obvious how passionate they were. The kitchen was wide and spacious and had everything needed to make a splendid meal.
