Litlabýli ehf
About this stay
Litlabýli ehf keeps things unpretentious in Flateyri, a fishing village reached through the same tunnel that links Ísafjörður and Suðureyri, about 20 minutes from the airport by taxi. The draw here is the view: water and mountains from a guesthouse that doesn't try to be more than it is, with a shared kitchen for self-catering and a terrace for sitting out when the weather allows. Vagninn, the village cafe, is three minutes away on foot for anyone who'd rather not cook every meal. Breakfast is included and the guesthouse is kid-friendly, which alongside the highest review score on this list suggests a small operation that overdelivers on a straightforward budget rate rather than one cutting corners.

Our take
This suits travellers who want the view over the amenities: water and mountains from a genuinely modest guesthouse, with a shared kitchen that keeps costs down over a longer stay. Families do well here given the kid-friendly rooms and included breakfast. Anyone wanting a restaurant, a hot tub, or hotel service should book Hótel Ísafjörður instead: Litlabýli ehf is deliberately simple, and its high review score suggests that's exactly what its guests come for.
Why we love it
- Water and mountain views from the guesthouse
- Shared kitchen for self-catering
- Terrace looking over the fjord
- Kid-friendly rooms with breakfast included
Why guests love itFamilies who choose Litlabýli ehf over the hotel options in Ísafjörður tend to cite the same reasons: the water and mountain view from an unpretentious guesthouse, and a shared kitchen that turns a budget stay into something closer to self-catering. The terrace gets used whenever the fjord weather cooperates, and breakfast being included removes one thing to plan around each morning. It suits families and longer stays more than a single night passing through.
