Fisherman Guesthouse Flateyri
About this stay
Fisherman Guesthouse Flateyri sits in the small fishing village of Flateyri, reached through the same Vestfjarðagöng tunnel that links Ísafjörður and Suðureyri, about 20 minutes from the regional airport by taxi. Vagninn, the village's known cafe, is a minute's walk away, covering the gap when the guesthouse itself doesn't run a kitchen or restaurant. Flateyri stays quieter than Ísafjörður and holds fewer beds than either Suðureyri or the town, so this suits travellers prioritising a genuinely small fishing village over amenities. Rooms are simple and priced as a straightforward budget stay, with the tunnel drive keeping Ísafjörður and Suðureyri both within reach for meals or supplies if Vagninn's hours don't line up.

Our take
This suits travellers who want the quietest of the three tunnel-linked villages, with Vagninn a minute away for coffee or a light meal. It doesn't suit anyone wanting a restaurant on site, a kitchen, or hotel-level comfort: rooms here are simple and the guesthouse itself lists few amenities beyond the location. Pair it with a supermarket stop in Ísafjörður if staying more than a night or two.
Why we love it
- One-minute walk to Vagninn cafe
- Quiet Flateyri village setting
- Straightforward budget rate
- Same tunnel access as Suðureyri
Why guests love itTravellers who pick Fisherman Guesthouse Flateyri over the busier stays in Ísafjörður or Suðureyri tend to want exactly what Flateyri offers: quiet, and not much else. Vagninn a minute's walk away covers coffee and a light meal, but anyone wanting a restaurant, a kitchen, or hotel comforts will find this guesthouse deliberately bare. It works best as a one- or two-night stop on a longer Westfjords loop rather than a base to settle into.
