“An historic hotel split across three sites in the centre of town. Individually designed rooms and two apartments preserve a sense of the buildings' tradition, with pine floors and dark wood furniture, but have a fresh, modern vibe. The restaurant champions fine Icelandic produce. Very stylish!”

A tale of ice and fire: touring East Iceland
[Seyðisfjörður] also has several beautifully restored wooden houses, some of which have been converted into the Hotel Aldan. I stay at what was the bank, and eat in a bistro, watching a strange assortment of art students, fishermen and farmers come and go.

Hotel Aldan
Hótel Aldan of Seyðisfjörður consists of three old but extensively renovated houses two of which are located by the little pond in the heart of this quaint old town in the norwegian Schweitzer-style.

Exploring the Eastfjords of Iceland
The pick of the town's lodgings, though, is boutique Hótel Aldan, spread across three timber buildings. The reception shares space with the cafe-restaurant, serving coffee and homemade cakes all day, then stepping things up at night when traditional Icelandic ingredients such as lamb, langoustine, reindeer and fish come with a polished contemporary touch.
