A Platform for Your Westfjord Excursions
Being one of the most remote regions you’re likely to find, one might suspect that it could prove to be a challenge to find suitable accommodation deep in the Westfjords of Iceland. Quite to the contrary, the village of Ísafjörður now boasts of three different options, each suited to different needs and tastes, which make for the perfect base from which to explore the winding fjords and extreme landscapes.
Gamla gistihúsið, or the Old Guesthouse, is aptly named, as it is located in a house dating all the way back to 1896, which is quite old according to Icelandic standards. The rustic atmosphere makes for a cosy and affordable stay for weary travellers, singles and families alike, but even though the house is over a century old, it is up to modern standards and has free Wi-Fi. Backpackers and those travelling on a shoestring would be well advised to check out their sleeping bag option.
Ísafjörður is all about comfort – a three star hotel with splendid views, a quality restaurant, lift, airport bus, fully equipped rooms with showers and a 24-hour reception. For those who want to go all out, the deluxe room is the way to go.
Hótel Horn is a brand new hotel opening its doors this summer. It offers a total of 24 fully equipped rooms, including family rooms with small kitchen areas.
No visitor should feel left out in the cold in Ísafjörður and the Westfjords await.
