3 Best Hotels in Flateyri, Westfjords

Upstairs from a historic bookstore, you'll find this small, family-owned guesthouse that offers a unique insight into life in an Icelandic fishing village in the 1960s, with its carefully sourced period-appropriate furnishings and knickknacks. You can help yourself to breakfast in the fridge in the well-stocked kitchen. A variety of board games, books, and comics are available (although much of it is in Icelandic). 

Hotels can be far and few between in this region of Iceland and often follow an "all-in-one" mentality; this spot is no exception with its role as a restaurant, hotel, bar, and gathering space. The simple Fisherman Hotel allows you to grab a meal, sip a few drinks, and roll right into bed without going outside.
