Staying in Isafjoerdur

Isafjoerdur sits in the Westfjords, and the 3-star stays here spread from the town itself out to the surrounding valleys, fjords and coast. In town, addresses such as Sundstraeti, Silfurtorgi 2, Austurvegur 2 and Aðalstræti put hotels within a short walk of the harbour, shops and everyday services. Further out, Country Hotel Heydalur at Heydalur Mjóifjörður and Hótel Flókalundur at Vatnsfirði offer a quieter setting, while Holt Inn at Holtsskolavegur Holt and Kirkjuból guesthouse at Bjarnardalur sit in the countryside around the town.

This mix suits different trips. Couples and short-break visitors often prefer the town-centre hotels and guesthouses, which keep restaurants and the waterfront close. Families have more room at properties such as Holt Inn, Hotel Isafjordur Horn and Sima Hostel & Apartments, several of which list family rooms or apartment-style facilities. Drivers will find free car parking at most of the listed hotels, and the outlying country hotels reward those who want fishing, walking and open landscape rather than a town base.
