Hótel Ísafjörður

Hótel Ísafjörður

8/10 Good
"The room was basic but clean; extra pillows would have been nice (only one for each bed). However, the dining room was outstanding for dinner. I had a perfectly cooked cod dish, and my husband had a very yummy black pasta dish. The staff were friendly and efficient. The breakfast buffet compared well with all other hotels we visited, they all seem to have a standard selection, which is perfectly fine."

"Nice farmstead like setting with horses nearby . It’s conveniently located off of 60 with proximity to several small towns. Breakfast was really good and the eating area was large to accommodate many. If you are doing Ring Road counterclockwise, please be advised that 60 is undergoing resurfacing around the waterfall, and this might slow you down ."

"The place is old but decent for being in west fjords, and the brkfst options were good overall but culd b improved slightly. We were on the topmost(3rd) floor. Beds were fine. One of the shared bthrm had a toilet tank issue(kept constantly filling up n taking too long). So, we just used one of the further ones on the same flr. We had some minor issues diring brkfst: one of the sliced breads had mold, museli was bitter, whole fruit(blk bananas n bruised apples) was not v gud during brkfast but other options incl. sandwich options(incl. cheese & fresh cut veg) n cutup fruit was good. Overall, our one nght stay was fine & it served itz purpose. This place has stairs, no elevator like many places in iceland."
