About this stay

Korpudalur HI Hostel is part of the Hostelling International network, set apart from the harbour clusters of Suðureyri and Flateyri at about 22 minutes by taxi from Ísafjörður's airport, a similar transfer time to the village stays closer to the coast. Breakfast, Wi-Fi, and parking come free, and some rooms have a kitchen for guests keeping costs down over a longer Westfjords loop. An airport shuttle is available for anyone arriving without a rental car, useful given how few scheduled routes reach this part of the region. Reviewers rate it consistently well, likely down to the mix of hostel pricing with genuine self-catering options. This suits budget travellers and road-trippers over anyone wanting a harbour-front room or restaurant on site.

Our take

This suits budget travellers and hostel-goers doing a longer Westfjords loop, priced well for what's included: breakfast, parking, and a kitchen in some rooms. The 22-minute airport transfer sits in the same range as stays right in Suðureyri, so it's not a location trade-off so much as a style one. Travellers wanting a harbour view or an on-site restaurant should book Fisherman Guesthouse Suðureyri or Hótel Ísafjörður instead.

✓Book the shuttle in advance if you're flying in without a car: it's a 22-minute ride from Ísafjörður's airport with few other options.
✓Ask for a kitchen room if you're on a longer Westfjords loop and want to cut down on restaurant costs.
✓Bring breakfast supplies as backup even though it's included, since Korpudalur sits away from the village shops.

Why guests love it
Travellers on a budget Westfjords loop tend to single out the same value at Korpudalur HI Hostel: free breakfast and parking bundled with hostel pricing, plus a kitchen option for cooking down the cost of a longer trip. The 22-minute transfer from Ísafjörður's airport reads as a fair trade for the savings, especially with a shuttle on offer for anyone without a car. It suits self-caterers and hostel regulars more than travellers chasing a harbour view or restaurant on site.
