Hótel Ísafjörður
About this stay
Hótel Ísafjörður sits in the region's main town, about seven minutes by taxi from the airport and a two-minute walk from the ArtsIceland gallery, making it the most central base for anyone splitting a Westfjords trip between Suðureyri, Flateyri, and Ísafjörður itself. Evenings run on the hotel's own Scandinavian restaurant or, a minute's walk away, Logn restaurant & bar, so there's no need to drive after dark. The hot tub is the standout after a day on the fjord roads, and pets are welcome here where several of the smaller guesthouses don't allow them. Rooms are airy and 3-star rated, with free breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking included, and the property is smoke-free throughout. This suits couples and families wanting hotel comfort over a village guesthouse.

Our take
This suits travellers who want hotel-level comfort, a hot tub, and a restaurant within walking distance, rather than a bare-bones guesthouse out in Suðureyri or Flateyri. Pet owners get more room here than almost anywhere else on this list. Anyone chasing a true harbour-village stay, cooking their own meals, or paying rock-bottom rates should book further down the fjord instead, since this is the comfort option, not the budget one.
Why we love it
- Hot tub after a day on the road

- On-site restaurant plus Logn next door
Why guests love itTravellers who choose Hótel Ísafjörður over the smaller guesthouses further down the fjord tend to mention the hot tub first: a genuine reward after a day of tunnel driving between Suðureyri, Flateyri, and Ísafjörður. Bringing a pet is straightforward here, unlike at most of the village stays nearby. Dinner at the hotel restaurant or a short walk to Logn covers evenings without a car, and the two-minute walk to ArtsIceland gives an easy way to fill an hour before dark.
