Was User at Gistihusid a mag?
We had a great stay, cosy room with a great lake view and an awesome dining experience. Then the cherry on the top was a visit to the spa where you can also sit outside if it is sunny and hot enough View all feedback.
What User dislikes about Gistihusid:
Food was good, then again every restaurant in Iceland has good food...but the staff was not friendly at all. The Icelandic people are generally warm and gracious...these folks were not. View all feedback.

Restaurant: enjoyed the vegan option which was a black bean patty. I prefer just straight up vegetables roasted but I prefer this over a nut steak. Breakfast options for vegans are pretty limited, could be more hot food items like potatoes Hotel: clean, spacious, no frills. Would be happy to come back! Was nice that there was recycling.
Fantastic food in a warm atmosphere. Nice, service minded and friendly staff. Good accessibility and family friendly.
If you book an economic room trough their website, make sure to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and gel shower, the lobby guy confirmed that they helped us to give some but usually they don't. So to avoid any situation where they don't provide any of these items, bring your own or just go to another hotel nearby with better prices and complete toiletry items. Seems like this guy in the lobby doesn't like his job attending people since his attitude is very sarcastic. The other long hair guy here is super nice and polite so please don't confuse these guys. All ladies at lobby are also awesome!!
First things first, go for the restaurant even if you are not staying. Absolutely delicious, inventive and local food. Beef is from the adjoining farm. Now for the hotel--gorgeous lakeside location, great for exploring the area and minutes from the airport; staff were all delightfully friendly and helpful; hotel breakfast was divine; rooms were not exciting but were spacious, clean and comfortable. One minor warning--see above re adjoining farm. You could definitely catch a faint whiff of dairy farm inside. I personally liked it but YMMV.

The atmosphere of this upscale dining establishment, combined with an outstanding vegan menu, provided a surprisingly luxurious dining experience. Highly recommended for all diners, whether vegan or not.
This restaurant has a sophisticated atmosphere without being overly formal. I had lunch there and enjoyed a delicious nut burger. The passion cheesecake was exceptional and truly surprised me. I can only imagine that the dinner menu is just as impressive and worth trying.
